NOTES FROM MY ADVENTUROUS CLIENTS...
about my story / your story
HUMAN.
Hi. I’m Jessica and although YOU are the MOST IMPORTANT in this process, I want to share a quick personal therapy story with you that you might be able to relate to. (Wow a human therapist who shares!)
FAILED THERAPY.
It started by my recognizing that I had some real issues I needed to unpack (failed marriage, self worth issues, sucky mom stuff, you know). So I went on a journey to find my person. And, boy did that prove to be an exhilarating let down. One therapist closed her eyes right in the middle of my grief. Another man cringed every time I said F*** (It’s an important word). The last one Polly Parotted everything I said, and just like in the movies, ended with a “Times Up!”
GETTING WITH THE TIMES.
I needed someone to get me, to understand my story, and help me devise a Life Plan. I wanted to come back to them and do check-ins. So after years of training and hours and hours of counseling and coaching, I realized that although the stuff I learned in school was interesting and valid, it didn’t always hold up with the times. How can you plug people into a theory! Where were the changes for Boomers, Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z?
AN EXTRAORDINARY APPROACH FOR YOU.
So, right in the middle of becoming a mom, I enrolled in a 2-year Life Coaching program (why not)! Ahhhh, this was the missing ingredient. It felt fresh, modern and relatable. I decided to combine both to create a really amazing and profoundly meaningful approach where YOU ARE FRONT AND CENTER OF YOUR LIFE.
We go back, stay present and move forward together. It’s probably unlike anything you have experienced before. Figuring out that you need to make a change in your life is Powerful and I want in! …you in? I hope so.

(No more long-winded stories, I promise.)
STAND-OUT SESSIONS
YOUR STORY is incredibly important. It has a lot of colors and things to unpack. I get to know you – your needs, your triggers, your boundaries, your stuck-ed-ness (it’s a word somewhere) and your capacities. We both share insights.
WE WORK DEEPLY AND SAFELY with an understanding about being non-judgmental. There is not much that hasn’t entered these ears.
NOW WHAT? Nope, not part of this process. We create a plan together so you can go out and LIVE in an easier place than before. Oh, you’ll get a friendly push from yours truly! But you’ll come to love it. Might even demand it!
COUPLES will see that I advocate for staying together and working it out. I love working with couples! I’ve seen more relationships stay together than the contrary. I’ve been to a ton of weddings too!
A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE where you usually walk out ready to take your world on! AND you have a partner in Advocacy right by your side.

RELATIONSHIP AGREEMENT
Why do I call it this? Because our relationship is key to successful sessions. Read these over and Accept at the bottom. It will lead you to my email. Please send prior to your session.
Benefits and Risks – Sessions may involve discussing unpleasant aspects of your life and, as a result, you may sometimes experience uncomfortable feelings. My goal is to provide a safe and healthy environment. Sessions have been shown to have many benefits - better relationships, solutions to problems, and significant reductions in feelings of distress. There is no guarantee that you will experience any or all of these benefits.
Confidentiality – All information is confidential. In accordance with this, no invoices or receipts will be issued under any circumstances. Please do not ask.
Exceptions to Confidentiality – include, but are not limited to: reporting child, elder, and dependent adult abuse, serious threat of violence towards a reasonably identifiable victim, and danger to self or to the person or property of another.
Fee – You must pay directly before or after your session by Credit Card or Venmo. There is no grace period unless you have specifically worked it out with me. Your fee will adjust slightly after your first year.
Cancellation Policy – This is the BIGGEST ZINGER to our Relationship Agreement and unfortunately those who came before you have made it such. If I show up and you don’t, you pay. If you oversleep, forget or feel sick and forget to call in time, you pay. Cancellations are 24 hours in advance. No exceptions. I will not chase you down to do the right thing. I trust you to make it so.

RELEASE: In consideration of services of property provided, I do hereby release Jessica George, MA, and Therapy-Coaching Room, its principal directors, and each and every landowner, upon whose property and activity is conducted, from all liability and waive any claim for damage arising from any cause whatsoever.
Online Sessions – I will initiate the call at your scheduled time. I use Face Time Skype or Zoom. Please understand that sessions may not always be in person. It is contingent upon clients, work schedules and travel obligations.
Legal Cases – I will not enter any legal battle you are currently in.
Forms – I will not sign any forms for therapy dogs or other services outside of the scope of our sessions.
Termination of Sessions – You, as the Client, or I as the Counselor, can stop sessions at any time. Sessions may be terminated due to, but not limited to the following: excessive no shows or cancellations, lack of payment, or if we find that inadequate progress is not being made.
Contact In Between Sessions – You may TEXT me anytime during working hours 8am to 9pm EST. and 6am to 6pm PST. Please be advised that I will respond as soon as possible. If you need to get on the phone, I will spend 10 minutes only on the phone before charging you for time.
