CONSENT TO ONLINE GROUP COACHING AND RECORDING BY BEACON PROGRAMS LLC
The service that we wish to offer you is specialized life coaching related to healthful eating habits. Coaches at the Beacon Programs LLC (“Molly Carmel”), a New York Limited Liability Company, work with adults and children to identify emotional issues that might interfere with healthful eating, to stop repeating thinking and behavior patterns that might lead to unhealthful eating, to develop a knowledge of and ability to plan for and engage in healthful eating, and generally to empower clients to eat in a healthy way. We help clients develop an integrated plan of eating that fits their lifestyle and helps them end struggles with food and weight. Coaching sessions are online and in a groups format.
Coaching is not a medical, mental health, or any other type of health service. It is not psychotherapy or mental health counseling. No diagnosis or treatment of, or advice regarding, any medical or mental health condition or illness is offered. Health insurance companies do not reimburse for coaching services. Coaching cannot substitute for, and is not an alternative to, medical or other healthcare diagnosis and treatment when a medical or mental health condition or illness is present. You are advised to seek diagnosis, treatment and advice regarding medical or mental conditions or illnesses from physicians and other licensed health care and mental health professionals. If you wish mental health assessment, counseling or psychotherapy, then we can provide you with referrals at your request.
Molly Carmel holds a Masters degree in Social Work. Although she is a licensed LCSW-R in New York State, coaching is not considered a health care service for which licensure is required. That Molly has a professional license does not mean that her coaching services are necessarily superior to those of an unlicensed coach.
