Coaching Is Not Therapy

The Bearded Coach LLC provides personal and professional coaching services. Coaching is a distinct service from psychotherapy, counseling, psychiatry, or other licensed mental health treatment.

Chris, the owner and coach of The Bearded Coach LLC, holds certifications in mental health coaching and trauma-informed care through the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) and graduate-level degrees in human services counseling. He is not a licensed therapist, licensed professional counselor, licensed clinical social worker, psychologist, or psychiatrist, and does not provide clinical mental health services.

Coaching services provided by The Bearded Coach LLC are not a substitute for professional mental health treatment, medical advice, diagnosis, or care. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, suicidal thoughts, or symptoms of a serious mental health condition, please contact a licensed mental health professional or crisis service immediately.

Not Medical Advice

Nothing on this website or communicated through coaching sessions, emails, or any other medium constitutes medical advice. Information shared in the context of coaching is intended for general educational and personal development purposes only.

Always consult a qualified healthcare provider with questions you may have regarding a medical or mental health condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read on this website.

Results Are Not Guaranteed

Individual results from coaching vary significantly. Any outcomes described on this website — including client stories — reflect individual experiences and are not guarantees of results. The Bearded Coach LLC makes no representation that any client will achieve specific outcomes as a result of coaching.

Coaching requires active participation, honest engagement, and a willingness to do the work. Results depend largely on the commitment and effort of the individual being coached.

Faith Integration

The Bearded Coach LLC integrates a Christian faith perspective into its coaching approach. This faith-informed perspective is part of how coaching is delivered and how the coach sees the people he works with. Engagement with faith-based content is not required, but it is present in the work.

Coaching services provided by The Bearded Coach LLC are not affiliated with any specific church, denomination, or religious organization.

Crisis Resources

If you or someone you know is in crisis, please reach out to one of the following resources immediately:

• 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988 (available 24/7)
• Veterans Crisis Line: Call 988, then press 1 — or text 838255
• Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741

Coaching is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a mental health emergency, please contact emergency services or a crisis helpline rather than reaching out to The Bearded Coach.
