Information for Prior Clients

Thank you for continuing your journey with me, as I have transitioned from your licensed behavioral health care therapist to your life coach. It has been a pleasure working with you, and I will continue to do so, as long as you determine my services may benefit you — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. While we have spoken about how services will change, this is a written supplement to our conversation. This will describe things that will remain the same and those that will change around service delivery.

WHAT WILL REMAIN THE SAME:

My coaching style of communicating with you
Listening and guiding you in an active manner
Helping you identify and utilize your strengths to achieve your goals
Helping you identify barriers and hurdles in your life that hinder you from achieving your goals
Challenging you, at times, to make movement and trigger your motivation to move forward
My work style and consistency in scheduling and maintaining contact with you, as you desire
My use of experience with 35 years in the behavioral healthcare field, rooted in my Doctoral level of education and utilization of Christian, faith-based principles

WHAT WILL BE DIFFERENT:

Services will be self-pay at $99.00 per hour (cash, check, credit card, Venmo). Insurance will not be utilized.
I will no longer document in your prior chart. I will, however, maintain it for 7 years, as required by the Ohio Counselor and Social Worker Board. Please notify me if you need a copy for any reason. I will also develop and maintain a separate coaching chart with you.
If you require more extensive mental health services, beyond what I provided you, I will provide you with referrals, along with those you can get from your insurance company or others.
I will no longer be coordinating care with your other providers, doctors, etc. If you will need that, I would encourage you to continue working with a licensed mental health care provider.
I will no longer utilize my mental health licenses (LPCC, LICDC). This will enable me to do different things and utilize different approaches with you and new clients. This includes, but is not limited to: off-site coaching, individual, group or corporate consultation, use of social media to share information, etc.
I will no longer be providing services in a group practice, but as a solo practice and will not have a support staff. I will do my own scheduling and collections.
