Legal, Professional, & Dual-Role Disclaimer

Last Updated: May 27, 2026

 

Welcome to griefandtraumasanctuary.com (the "Website"). This Website is owned, managed, and jointly utilized by two distinct, separate legal entities formed in the State of Florida: Grief Coaching Sanctuary, LLC and Grief and Trauma Sanctuary, PLLC.

Please read this Disclaimer carefully and in its entirety before browsing, using, or interacting with this Website, or purchasing any resources, programs, or services hereon. By continuing to use this Website, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Disclaimer.

1. Separation of Legal Entities & Services

This Website serves as a combined online storefront for two distinct businesses that are operated separately, maintain independent corporate structures, and handle entirely different scopes of work:

  • Grief Coaching Sanctuary, LLC administers and delivers all non-clinical services, including but not limited to: Transformational Grief Coaching, digital resources, educational materials, email newsletters, waitlists, subscription forms, lead magnets, and community events nationwide.
  • Grief and Trauma Sanctuary, PLLC administers and delivers all regulated clinical services, specifically licensed mental health counseling, grief and trauma therapy, and EMDR therapy to residents within the states of Florida and New York.

2. Psychotherapy vs. Coaching (Scope of Practice)

  • Psychotherapy & Counseling are clinical healthcare services aimed at assessing, diagnosing, and treating mental health disorders, clinical conditions, and trauma. These services are regulated by state laws and licensing boards.
  • Transformational Grief Coaching is an educational, goal-oriented, and consultative peer-support service designed to provide holistic mind-body-spirit integration, coping strategies, and personal growth tools. Coaching is non-clinical, non-diagnostic, and does not treat underlying mental health illnesses.

3. Clear Disclosure of Credentials & The Dual-Role Dilemma

The founder and owner of both entities is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) registered in the states of Florida and New York, a Certified Trauma and EMDR Professional, and a Certified Thanatologist.
However, your browse history, interaction with general Website media, or engagement with coaching services involves a deliberate boundaries structure:

  • When acting in a coaching capacity through Grief Coaching Sanctuary, LLC, the founder operates strictly as a Certified Grief Coach and Certified Grief Educator.
  • The founder’s professional clinical training naturally informs the structure of the coaching materials, but she is not acting as your therapist when you are enrolled in coaching.

4. No Therapist-Patient Relationship Established

Accessing this Website, downloading free lead magnets, subscribing to email lists, joining a waitlist, scheduling a general administrative consultation call, participating in group coaching, or engaging in individual coaching sessions does not establish a clinical therapist-patient relationship between you and the founder, nor does it connect you to Grief and Trauma Sanctuary, PLLC.

A formal therapist-patient relationship with Grief and Trauma Sanctuary, PLLC is only created after you have explicitly confirmed your residency in Florida or New York, completed a clinical intake, signed a formal Informed Consent for Treatment document, and had your placement formally accepted inside our secure, HIPAA-compliant client portal.

5. Administration and Data Routing Guardrails

By using this Website, you acknowledge and agree to the following administrative limitations:

  • All general inquiry forms, consultation calendar bookings, newsletter subscriptions, and lead magnet requests are collected and managed by the marketing pipelines of Grief Coaching Sanctuary, LLC.
  • Brief 30-minute consultation calls booked through the general website calendar are strictly administrative "fit assessments" to discuss general logistics, pricing, and services. No clinical assessments, therapeutic interventions, or diagnostic discussions will take place on these calls.
  • To protect your privacy, you are strictly instructed not to share protected health information (PHI), medical history, or clinical trauma details in general website booking notes or during the introductory consultation call.

6. Not a Substitute for Professional Medical or Mental Health Care

The contents of this Website, including blogs, text, graphics, videos, courses, and coaching guidance, are for educational, inspirational, and informational purposes only. They do not constitute medical, psychiatric, or psychological advice.

If you are experiencing severe clinical symptoms, acute psychological distress, active suicidal ideation, or require a formal mental health diagnosis, you must seek immediate care from a licensed medical provider, emergency services, or a licensed mental health professional within your specific geographic jurisdiction.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree that Grief Coaching Sanctuary, LLC handles all standard website operations and marketing offerings, and its liability is strictly limited to the coaching, consulting, and educational scope of its corporate boundaries. Grief and Trauma Sanctuary, PLLC bears no liability or corporate relationship to standard marketing materials, coaching programs, or public informational data accessed on this domain.
