Disclaimer for Sounding Board Session

Sounding Board Session offers personalized listening and coaching services intended to support self-reflection, personal growth, and goal setting. Our services are non-clinical in nature and should be understood as similar to having a thoughtful conversation with a trusted friend—a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts, goals, and challenges. While your Sounding Board may offer insights, perspectives, or personal opinions during your session, these are not a substitute for professional advice and should not be interpreted as medical, mental health, legal, or financial guidance.

For the purposes of this document, our listeners/coaches will be referred to as your Sounding Board.
