Liability Form

    Liability Release Form

    Please read and agree to the following disclaimer and release of liability.

    Life coaching is not a counseling service. Green Heart Guidance, LLC and Elizabeth Galen do not provide clinical counseling or psychotherapy. Life coaching is not meant to be a substitute for clinical counseling, treatment for suicidal ideation, depression or severe psychiatric problems. The information provided by Green Heart Guidance, LLC and Elizabeth Galen does not constitute legal or professional advice neither is it intended to be. It is to be used for educational and entertainment purposes only.

    As a client, it is important to understand the difference between life coaching and clinical counseling or psychotherapy. While there are similarities between life coaching and clinical counseling/psychotherapy, the major differences are in the goals, focus and level of professional responsibility. Clinical counseling/psychotherapy is a health care/medical service and is usually reimbursable through health insurance policies. Life coaching is not a health care or medical service. Therefore, coaching services are not reimbursable through health insurance policies.

    It is also important to understand that coaching is a professional relationship. While it may often feel like a close personal relationship, it is not one that can extend beyond professional boundaries either during or after our work together. Considerable experience shows that when boundaries blur, the benefits gained from the coaching relationship are endangered.
