The fine print, in plain language

Disclaimer and terms

This page says plainly what this coaching is, what it is not, and how your information is handled.

What this service is

Taylor Bivens Coaching provides one-to-one coaching for generally well-functioning adults working on self-chosen, non-clinical goals. Coaching is a collaborative, forward-looking partnership: structure, skills, and accountability applied to the goals you choose. You remain the expert in your own life, and you are responsible for your own decisions, actions, and results.

Coaching, not therapy

Coaching is not psychotherapy, counseling, or the diagnosis or treatment of any mental health or medical condition, and it is not medical, legal, or financial advice. I am not a licensed mental health provider. My credentials: Taylor Bivens, DMD. Trained in Motivational Interviewing and draws on cognitive-behavioral methods.

Screening and referral

To keep the work safe and well matched, I use brief questionnaires at intake and during coaching. They are not diagnostic tests. If they, or anything in our sessions, suggest your needs would be better served by a licensed professional, I will raise it openly and help you connect with appropriate care. Depending on the situation, coaching may pause or may continue alongside licensed care. Referral is a normal part of responsible practice.

No guaranteed outcomes

Coaching results depend heavily on your own participation and follow-through, which is rather the point of this particular program. I do not promise specific results, and nothing on this site is a guarantee of any outcome.

Not an emergency service

Sessions and messages are not monitored for emergencies. If you are in crisis or at risk of harming yourself or someone else, contact your local emergency number or a crisis line immediately, or go to your nearest emergency department.

The companion app and AI assistant

Coaching uses a companion app as the system of record for commitments, brief check-ins, weekly summaries, and progress measures. The app organizes what you enter and can surface repeated patterns; it does not decide what your goals should be. Its AI assistant may offer brief reflection or recovery suggestions within the method. It does not choose your values, diagnose you, provide crisis support, or replace a direct conversation with your coach. Each user's records are stored separately and scoped to that user. AI output can be wrong and is not professional advice.

Testimonials

No testimonials currently appear on this site. Any that appear in the future will be real, consented, and unpaid.

Privacy

This site sets no cookies and runs no analytics. Booking runs on Cal.com, which handles only the details you enter when scheduling, under its own privacy policy. If you email me, your message goes to [email protected].

Records created during coaching (the signed agreement, intake responses, app entries, weekly summaries, session notes, and progress measures) are stored securely and are not shared except as described in the coaching agreement. You may ask to access, correct, or delete your data at any time by emailing [email protected].

Questions

If anything here is unclear, ask me on the intro call or email [email protected].
