Lenses That Liberate | Terms & Conditions

CLIENT RESPONSIBILITY

As a Mentoring Client I understand that: The Mentoring relationship is in no way to be considered as psychological counseling and that Derek Sheahan is not a “crisis” practitioner. The Client acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a life-threatening emergency, the client will need to call (911) or go to the nearest emergency room.  the client understands that if DEREK SHEAHAN thinks I need more intensive services I will be referred a therapist or organization that has the ability to meet those needs. 

As the client, I understand and agree that I am fully responsible for my own physical, mental, and emotional well being during, after and between coaching calls, including my choices and decisions.  I understand that Mentoring does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental health issues as defined by the American Psychiatric Association.  I understand that mentoring is not a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, mental or physical health care or substance abuse treatment.  

I understand that certain topics that arise during my sessions may be anonymously and hypothetically shared with other coaching professionals for training or consultation purposes. I further understand that information will be held as confidential unless I state otherwise, in writing, except as required by law. 

I understand that guided practices or other short snippets recorded during the sessions may be shared by DEREK SHEAHAN with others with complete anonymity to the client, that is, no visual or audio recordings of the client will be shared. 

CONFIDENTIALITY FORM   

I will be maintaining a client record on your case, which is the property of DEREK SHEAHAN. In specific situations, I am required to disclose information without your consent or authorization to authorities. This includes, but is not limited to, situations in which a client appears to be at risk to himself or others, if abuse or neglect is suspected, and if the court orders or subpoenas DEREK SHEAHAN to disclose information. These situations are quite unusual in mentoring situations, and if it does arise I will make every effort to discuss it with you prior to taking the protective action. Unless otherwise indicated by a court order, if the client is a minor, both parents have the right to access of the minor’s records. If a client files a complaint or lawsuit DEREK SHEAHAN. the records will be shared openly. It is impossible to protect the confidentiality of information that is transmitted electronically. This is particularly true of e-mail and information stored on computers.
