What are your credentials?
I am certified as a coach and as a Clear Beliefs Coach. I also have almost 20 years of experience teaching and facilitating men's circles.
How long does this training last?
I don't know... yet. It is still in its infancy. My best guess at this time is 3-6 months, meeting for one hour every week... with homework.
Are you a therapist?
No. I am a coach. If your condition has a DSM definition, you need to see a licensed counselor. If your challenge is not a "disorder", I can work with you.
How do we meet?
All coaching sessions are conducted on Zoom. I make a recording of each session and make that recording available to you if you want it.
What about confidentiality?
I record all of my coaching sessions. This allows me to pay complete attention to you without the distraction of taking notes.
The recordings reside only on my compute and in Dropbox . You may request that recording be stopped for your session and / or deleted within a specified period of time.
These recordings belong only to you. I can share them with you using Dropbox.
Do I have to sign anything?
I do not use any contracts., so there is nothing to sign. I do not use sign language, so there is nothing I sign either.
What do you charge?
My base rate is $150 for each one hour coaching session.; however, I work on a sliding scale based on your ability to pay and the length of your commitment.
I like to get paid either immediately before your session or just after it.
What forms of payment do you accept?
I prefer Venmo, but that doesn't work in Canada. I also accept PayPal, but add $5 USD to cover their fees.
What if I have to miss a meeting?
If you need to cancel a session, I need to hear from you at least a couple hours before your scheduled session. If something comes up on the day of a scheduled session, please let me know, but don’t make a habit of letting me know at the last moment.
If you miss a session without letting me know in time, you get one “mulligan”, but I expect you to take ownership of the choices you made that resulted in your breaking an agreement with me. After the first one, you owe me the full price of a session and that must be paid in full before our next session.
