General Disclaimer:

By participating in services provided by ToBeOptimized.com, you acknowledge and understand there are no guarantees to the outcomes of your life coaching, counseling, social media detox(ification) or other services related efforts.
You acknowledge, if participating in life coaching services rather than counseling services, your life coach is not a substitute for professional mental health care or medical care and cannot diagnose, treat or cure any mental health or medical conditions. You also understand that your life coach is not a mental health counselor or a medical professional.
If you choose to participate in counseling services, you understand there are potential risks and benefits to counseling services. Sessions often involve discussing unpleasant aspects of your life, which may lead to experiencing uncomfortable feelings. These services have been shown to have benefits, but there are no guarantees of what you will gain.

Social Media Detox Method & Journal Disclaimer:

Although Dr. Maegan Renee (Maegan Renee PhD, LLC) and Life Coach Francois Braine-Bonnaire (FBB Coaching, LLC) used their most professional efforts in creating this social media detox journal, they make no warranties with respect to the effectiveness or completeness of the contents in this journal. The advice and strategies contained herein may not be completely suitable for your specific needs. You should consult with a professional where and when appropriate. The authors shall not be liable for any loss or profit or any other damages, including but not limited to special, incidental, consequential, or other damages.

Life Coaching Services Disclaimer:
By participating in life coaching services through ToBeOptimized.com, you acknowledge your life coach is not a licensed psychologist or health care professional and the services do not replace the care of psychologists or other healthcare professionals. Outcomes of coaching efforts cannot be guaranteed, other than to deliver the coaching services as described by the Certified Life Coach.

Counseling Services Disclaimer:
Mental health services are not easily described in general statements, as the nature of the work varies depending upon the issues being presented. Also, it is important to tailor the approach and the goals for treatment to individual needs. To receive benefits from these services, active effort is often required both during and in between sessions with the Licensed Professional Counselor of ToBeOptimized.com.

Terms & Policies for session-based services through ToBeOptimized.com:

After Hours Emergencies: We are not available after hours for emergencies. We regularly check messages on weekdays from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM - USA Eastern Time (Monday-Friday) and we do our best to return calls within the same business day. If you experience an after-hours psychiatric emergency, you should go to the emergency room in your area or call 911 (in the USA) for immediate assistance.

The Use of Email: We are willing to use email for the purpose of scheduling and changing appointments. Due to security concerns, email will not be used to discuss clinical diagnoses, assessments, or interventions. While we will check email during business hours, this is not a means by which to share any confidential information or to report a psychiatric crisis.
The 48 hours’ change/cancellation policy applies using this means of communication.

Voicemail: Similar to security concerns with email, voicemail should only be used to schedule and change appointments. The same 48-hour change/cancellation policy applies.

Late Cancellations: You will be charged full fee for missed or cancelled sessions unless we are given 48 hours’ notice.

Terminating Services: You have the right to terminate session-based services at any time and without any penalty. However, if you decide to do so, we will ask that you discuss your decision with your life coach or counselor so that we can bring sufficient closure to our work together.
