LET ME MAKE IT PLAIN...
I’m an expert at what I do. I’ve got the street cred. The experience, the skills. and the qualifications. I am confident in what I deliver. However, we should note and make the fact plain, I am not a licensed psychologist or health care professional, and my services don’t replace the care of psychologists or other healthcare professionals. With that comes the understanding that, no, I cannot actually guarantee the outcome of our service efforts and/or recommendations on my website/blog/email series/social media, and my comments about the outcome are expressions of opinion only. I can guarantee you this, however: I will do my very best to counsel you, and I’ll do everything in my power to help get you to where you desire to be.
