Disclosure For No More Mr. Nice Guy Coaching 

DISCLOSURE

THIS IS NOT THERAPY/PSYCHOTHERAPY OR COUNSELING. 

Even though I am a licensed mental health provider in the state of Oregon, the work I do with No More Mr. Nice Guy is teaching/coaching, and in no way a substitute for counseling or therapy.

Because there is a lot of misinformation and misconceptions about what constitutes coaching vs. therapy I want to make sure you understand the concept of coaching so that you are clear on what to expect from our time together.

First off, psychotherapy is based on a medical model. When I treat people in therapy in my office, I am required to give the client a mental illness diagnosis. We spend much of our time together talking about the person’s mental illness, their family of origin issues that contributed to the illness, and I use cognitive behavioral therapy as a modality of treatment.

There is no diagnosis listed in the “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM -5) for the NICE GUY SYNDROME (NGS). The Nice Guy Syndrome is not a mental illness, but a set of beliefs and behaviors that contribute to the individual self-perceptions.

Because our work together is not a medical treatment, our time together is NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE.

Coaching is teaching not therapy:

Much like a professional tutor, when I work with someone as a coach for No More Mr. Nice Guy, I use specific materials developed by Dr. Robert Glover. The goal of coaching is to deliver information that can be useful for the individual to create a more satisfying life. When I coach, I will not work with anyone who I feel may have a mental disorder. If I suspect a mental disorder or illness, I will immediately stop our coaching and refer that individual to a therapist in their area.

As such, we are entering into an agreement that I will provide coaching and teach specifically to No More Mr. Nice Guy materials, and in return, you are expected to pay my fee for teaching and to coach you through the No More Mr. Nice Guy materials. In this way, I am much like a professional tutor.

This consent intends to provide a clear framework for our work together. Please feel free to discuss any of this with me.
