Coaching is intended to be informational and educational for the client and to provide information, support, empowerment, and encouragement for the client’s goals and decisions based on information provided by the client.

Risks and Benefits of Coaching
Not a Substitute for Medical, Legal or Other Advice
Coaching services are not a substitute for medical, psychological, psychiatric, wellness, therapeutic, or other diagnoses, care, counseling, advice, or treatment. Coaching Services and the information on the Restored Minds website are not a substitute for legal, personal, religious, spiritual or other types of evaluation, therapy, counseling, advice or representation. You should independently assess any decisions, actions or inactions resulting from or relating to the Website or Coaching experience based on medical, psychological, psychiatric, religious, personal, or other advice as applicable.
Defining Roles: The Difference Between Therapy and Coaching
Therapy, also called counseling or psychotherapy, is a long-term process in which a client works with a healthcare professional to diagnose and resolve problematic beliefs, behaviors, relationship issues, feelings and sometimes physical responses. The idea behind therapy is to focus on past traumas and issues to change self-destructive habits, repair and improve relationships and work through painful feelings. In this sense, therapy focuses on the past, on introspection, and analysis.
Behavioral Coaching is a process that may be long-or-short-term. In coaching, a client works with a coach who may (or may not) also be a healthcare professional in order to clarify goals and values, identify personal obstacles to success, and challenge problematic behaviors in order to achieve desired results. It takes the client’s current starting point as an acceptable neutral ground and is more action-based from that point onward.
Although there are some similarities between Coaching and Psychotherapy, I, as The Coach, will not conduct psychotherapy with my coaching clients. Coaching and psychotherapy are different modalities, and it is important that you as The Client understand the differences between them. Although both Coaching and psychotherapy utilize knowledge of human behavior, motivation, behavioral change, and interactive counseling techniques, there are major differences in the goals, focus, and level of professional responsibility. I, The Coach, adopt The International Coach Federation’s definition of coaching quoted in part which is as follows: Professional Coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses or organizations. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life.
In each meeting, the client chooses the focus of conversation, while the coach listens and contributes observations and questions. This interaction creates clarity and moves the client into action. Coaching accelerates the client’s progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choice. Coaching concentrates on where clients are now and what they are willing to do to get where they want to be in the future. Coaches recognize that results are a matter of the client’s intentions, choices and actions, supported by the coach’s efforts and application of the coaching process.
You can expect that I, your Coach, will be honest and direct, asking straightforward questions and using challenging techniques to help you move forward. You are expected to evaluate your own progress; and, if the coaching is not working as you wish, you should immediately inform me, your Coach, so that we can both take steps to correct the problem. As with any human endeavor, coaching can involve feelings of discomfort and frustration which may accompany the process of change. Coaching does not offer any guarantee of success. Additionally, while psychotherapy may be reimbursable through health insurance policies, Coaching services, at present, are not.
It is understood and agreed to by The Client and The Coach that if either of us recognizes that you, The Client, have a problem that would benefit from psychotherapy, I, The Coach, may refer or direct you to appropriate resources in addition to or in lieu of Coaching. In some situations as a condition of my continuance as your Coach, I may insist that you enter psychotherapy and that I have your consent to discuss matters which concern you with your psychotherapist. It is further understood that, as The Coach, I am not obligated to provide you, The Client, with psychotherapy services.
Similarities Between Coaching and Therapy
The fundamentals of coaching are what distinguish it from therapy. Behavioral Coaches do not diagnose, while therapists determine illnesses and pathologies so they can be clinically treated. Therapists analyze their client’s past as a tool for understanding present behaviors, whereas life coaches simply identify and describe current problematic behaviors so the client can work to modify them. In other words, therapists focus on “why” and coaches work on “how.”
Therapists help clients explore and understand their subconscious and unconscious mind. Their goal in this exploration is deep understanding. Life coaches focus on results and actions. Their goals can be measured with key performance indicators and specific behavioral outcomes and goals.
Therapy and life coaching do share certain traits and skillsets. However, both therapists and coaches work to enable clients to make positive changes in their lives and become more productive. While therapists do diagnose and treat from a healthcare perspective, not all therapy clients are ill; many healthy people seek the services of both therapists and life coaches.
Therapists may at times work with specific results in mind, such as the cessation of a particular problematic behavior.
Despite occasional areas of overlap, however, the work and processes of therapists and life coaches are distinct.
Session Time
One-on-One sessions will be held at a mutually decided time between the Coach and the Client. All sessions will be booked in the Pacific Daylight Timezone (PDT). Group sessions will last approximately 2 hours, but this length is subject to change based on the number of clients in the session and the needs of the clients. If you do not live in the PDT time zone please use this time zone converter (http://www.thetimezoneconverter.com/) to learn the proper time of your session in your specific time zone.
Call Procedure
For group coaching calls, The Coach may use various software tools (Youtube Live, Facebook Live, Zoom, etc.) to conduct the sessions. The coach will send out a link for each specific meeting session. Unless otherwise specified, the coach will record Live Calls and post the recordings in the member's area.
Record Keeping:
I keep very brief records, noting only that a session occurred on a specific date and time, what interventions happened in session, and the topics we discussed. If you prefer that I keep no records, you must give me a written request to this effect for your file and I will only note that you attended coaching in the record. You have the right to request that I correct any errors in your file. You have the right to request that I make a copy of your file available to any other health care provider at your written request. I also will maintain your records in a secure location that cannot be accessed by anyone else.
Mutual Nondisclosure:
The Coach and The Client mutually recognize that they may discuss The Client’s future plans, work affairs, job information, goals, personal information, and other private information. The Coach will not voluntarily communicate The Client's information to a third party. In order to honor and protect the Coach's intellectual properties, The Client expressly agrees not to disclose or communicate any proprietary information about the Coach's practice, materials, or methods to any third parties. The Coach and The Client agree to be bound by this mutual nondisclosure agreement during and after the termination of the Coaching relationship.
Dispute Resolution:
It is agreed between The Client, his or her assigns, family and estate and The Coach that any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to The Agreement, or the breach of this agreement, shall be settled by arbitration from an accredited individual or organization with an arbitrator whom we mutually agree upon. The arbitration may occur by telephone.
By clicking "I have read and agree to the terms and conditions of this page", as The Client, acknowledges that you have read the information contained in The Agreement and Informed Consent; and indicates your assent to the terms of The Agreement; and signifies your assurance that you will abide by its terms during our professional Coaching relationship.
