Online Coaching Agreement: Torie Wiksell

Please read this contract in it's entirety and electronically sign in order to proceed with scheduling coaching services.

COACHING VS THERAPY
While I am a psychotherapist, I am not your therapist, and our coaching one-on-one sessions and/or coaching group sessions are not therapy sessions. So, what's the difference between therapy and coaching? Therapy looks at the big picture of your life and addresses all areas: your mental health and well-being, your relationships, trauma, etc. Coaching on the other hand is very goal-focused and does not include working on things like clinical depression and anxiety, but rather targets specific situations in your life and helps you manage them to improve your life and reduce your stress.

That’s why it’s so important to work with therapist-coaches who not only have the training and experience to understand the differences, but who can also recognize when to refer you to a therapist (it’s not always an even/or situation. You can do therapy AND coaching). Without this knowledge, a well-intentioned coach can end up encouraging you to do something that actually makes your life harder and negative impacts you mental health. Participating in coaching does not constitute nor create a therapist-client relationship between you and me, Torie Wiksell.

THERAPY REFERRAL POLICY
Participating in online coaching is not therapy nor is it a substitute for therapy. If I determine therapy may be more appropriate than coaching for you, I will refer you to seek therapy from a licensed therapist near you (I will not transition our relationship from a coaching relationship to a therapy relationship).

LINK TO MEET
We will meet using the video platform hosted through Kajabi. You will be sent a link to use via email at the time of purchase. You can also email me with questions at [email protected].

CONFIDENTIALITY
While coaching is not therapy, I do respect your confidentiality. I will not disclose your identity or confirm our coaching relationship without prior written consent from you (for example when posting a review you've submitted).

WHO IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR ONE-ON-ONE OR GROUP COACHING
Coaching with Torie Wiksell is not appropriate for people who personally have a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD) or narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), the desire to harm themselves or another person, or those who are in need of immediate mental health support. Coaching is not therapy, and if you are needing help with mental health symptoms, please contact a licensed therapist near you.

PAYMENT
Payment is due at time of scheduling. You may pay for each coaching session individually, or you may purchase a package in advance for a discount. There are no refunds for unused sessions.
If you are on a payment plan, you must fulfill all payment plan agreements. If payments fail, the coaching relationship will be terminated. If you are unsure of how long you'd like to work together, I encourage you to book a single one-on-one session and discuss this in more detail with me.

RESCHEDULING
I have a 48-hour reschedule policy. Please contact me via email at [email protected] at least 48 hours prior to your appointment in order to reschedule. As a reminder, I do not issue refunds for any purchased sessions that are unused or cancelled. Any no-shows or reschedules with less than 48 hours notice will forfeit the full coaching session fee. If you have purchased a package, one coaching session will be deducted from your package.

REFUNDS
There are no refunds for sessions used or unused. Please contact me via email before purchasing a coaching package if you are unsure about moving forward. I would also recommend purchasing a single coaching session if you would like to meet and get a feel for working together prior to making an additional financial investment.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
All of the materials and content shared in one-on-one and group coaching is the intellectual property of Confident Boundaries, LLC and Torie Wiksell. You may not record the one-on-one or group coaching sessions, screenshot anything in the sessions (including material shared), or distribute anything provided as a part of the coaching process to others. Doing so will result in immediate termination as a coaching client as well as legal prosecution, seeking of damages, and other legal recourse allowable by law.

You may (and are encouraged to) discuss what you learn in coaching with your therapist, friends, and/or family in order to implement the things you are working on as well as to receive emotional support. You may not accept payment in return for sharing anything related to what you learn in one-on-one or group coaching.

VIOLATION OF COACHING AGREEMENT
If you violate any of the rules in this agreement, our coaching relationship will be terminated immediately and you may not participate in future coaching, events, groups, or other activities hosted by Confident Boundaries or Torie Wiksell. You will not receive a partial or full refund if your coaching sessions are canceled due to violations of this agreement.
