Online / In-Person
Life Coaching Sessions Agreement

Dr. Zwig’s web site provides as follows:

“I’m a practicing life coach, educator, author, and consultant. I have a PhD in clinical psychology and I practiced psychotherapy in Switzerland for ten years. I offer in-person and online private coaching sessions. In my work I use a process-oriented approach to assist people with their personal issues. This means that I don’t conceptualize human problems as “disorders” (as formulated in the psychology diagnostic manual, DSM-5) and as might be diagnosed and treated by a psychologist. Rather, I view human problems as meaningful, purposive processes requiring a shift in awareness. I don’t do DSM-5 psychological assessment, diagnosis, testing or treatment, nor any type of medical diagnosis or treatment through my life coaching.

My coaching sessions are for the sole purpose of facilitating a client’s process to discover the life directions he/ she needs to move in. To do this I help the client uncover the meaning and purpose of their problems and use this awareness for growth. I don’t approach clients with the idea that there’s something “wrong” with them that needs to be “fixed,” but rather that they have a meaningful process of change trying to come to awareness. Therefore, at no point during these sessions do I diagnose or treat a client with any kind of psychological, mental, emotional, or physical disorder as might be diagnosed and treated by a psychologist or other professional advisor.

I represent that I understand the foregoing, and have discussed with Dr. Zwig any and all concerns and questions I have regarding his life coaching and this Engagement Agreement. I understand that Dr. Zwig isn’t involved in the diagnosis or treatment of any mental disorder or disease, and the services provided by Dr. Zwig aren’t a substitute for psychological assessment and diagnosis or medical treatment. I understand that Dr. Zwig doesn’t diagnose or treat any illness or physical or mental disorder nor does he prescribe medication.

To ensure your absolute privacy and create a completely safe space, Zoom sessions are strictly confidential and will never be recorded. For online sessions, I acknowledge and agree that only the client can be on line during the session, and that the client cannot record the session.

I understand that sessions are not scheduled until payment is made and the signed and dated Agreement is returned. Cancellations require 24 hour notice or your payment will not be refunded.

This is the entire agreement between the undersigned and Dr. Zwig, and I understand that in no event will Dr. Zwig be liabile to the undersigned for any special, punitive, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages of any kind in connection with the services provide by this Agreement.
