SEX-POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP COACHING
Jessica Warner, MA, LPC
910 West Ave
Austin, TX 78701
512-655-9336
DESCRIPTION: Sex-Positive means viewing sex and relationships through the lens of acceptance: if it is happening between consenting and informed adults then it is not to be pathologized. Dove + Wolf Sex-Positive Relationship Coaching sessions are a creative process that educate and inspire the client to maximize their personal joy and potential around their sexual self-expression and intimate relationships. Dove + Wolf Sex-Positive Relationship Coaching involves talking during scheduled times, some email and text exchanges to answer questions or continue support, some written homework assignments, clearly defined goals, and dedicated commitment to the work. Dove + Wolf Sex-Positive Relationship Coaching does NOT include late night phone calls or all-access to the coach, nudity of any kind by either Coach or Client, sexual advances, assault, or sexual contact. Client is supported while he or she susses out current sexual and relational challenges and then masters new beliefs and behaviors that can lead to realizing his or her hopes and dreams.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Client understands and acknowledges that his or her Dove + Wolf Sex-Positive Relationship Coaching work with Coach Jessica Warner [heretofore referred to as “Coach”] is collaborative and that the results Client achieve are his or her responsibility. Coach will at all times exercise her best professional efforts, skills and care to insure that Client is coached to meet his or her goals. Client understands and acknowledges Coach will not be liable legally or otherwise, for the actions Client may or may not undertake as a result of these coaching sessions.
Client understands that working with Coach does not prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder or medical disease, and is in no way to be construed or substituted as psychological counseling or any other type of therapy, medical or legal advice by a qualified professional. Client agrees to seek independent professional guidance for such matters as needed. If Client is currently under the care of a mental health professional, Coach requires Client inform her of his or her mental health condition and inform his or her mental health provider of the Sex-Positive Relationship Coaching sessions with her.
Client agrees to communicate honestly, be open to feedback and assistance, and to prioritize the time and energy to participate fully in each session.
SERVICES: The parties agree to engage in monthly, weekly or “as needed” sessions through in-person, Skype or telephone meetings. Coach will be available to Client by e-mail and voicemail in between scheduled sessions for check-in’s as needed.
CONFIDENTIALITY: This professional relationship, as well as all information (documented or verbal) that Client shares with Coach as part of this coaching relationship will be kept confidential. Coach abides by the ethical guidelines set forth by the Texas Licensed Professional Counselors Board and therefore adheres to the highest standards of confidentiality possible. Coaching is NOT governed by either that board or HIPAA, therefore Client and Coach may use unsecured methods of communication such as Skype, telephones, unencrypted emails, texts, etc. and as such those methods cannot be guaranteed as confidential.
CANCELLATION POLICY: Client agrees that it is Client's responsibility to notify Coach 24 hours in advance of the scheduled session for all reschedules and cancellations. Coach acknowledges that emergencies and last minute challenges do come up and is happy to try and accommodate such needs, however the Client will be charged for a no-show/no-call missed session. Also, if a client is late, the time lost cannot be recovered; the session will end at the scheduled time.
TERMINATION:
Either Client or Coach may terminate this agreement at any time with written notice.
LIMITED LIABILITY:
Except what is provided in this written agreement, Coach makes no guarantees or warranties, expressly or implied.
This is the entire agreement of the parties, and reflects a complete understanding of the parties with respect to Coach and Client relationship. This agreement supersedes all prior written and oral representations.
