Nature of Services
Kevin J. Houston provides professional life coaching, mentoring, and motivational services to support personal growth, clarity, accountability, and goal development.
Life coaching is a collaborative, forward-focused process that emphasizes personal responsibility, self-awareness, and intentional action. Coaching is not advice-giving, diagnosing, or treatment; it is a structured partnership that supports clients in making thoughtful decisions and meaningful changes in their lives.
Not Mental Health Therapy or Medical Care
Kevin J. Houston is not a licensed therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, or medical professional, and the services provided are not mental health therapy, counseling, or medical treatment.
Life coaching does not:
Diagnose or treat mental health conditions
Address trauma, psychiatric disorders, or clinical depression
Replace therapy, counseling, or medical care
If you are experiencing severe emotional distress, mental health concerns, suicidal thoughts, or require clinical support, you are strongly encouraged to seek assistance from a licensed mental health professional or medical provider immediately.
Coaching vs. Therapy
Coaching focuses on:
Present circumstances and future goals
Personal responsibility and intentional action
Self-awareness, clarity, and accountability
Practical strategies for growth and improvement
Therapy typically focuses on:
Healing past trauma
Diagnosing and treating mental health conditions
Clinical assessment and treatment
While coaching conversations may feel meaningful or reflective, coaching is not therapy, and no therapeutic relationship is formed.
Client Responsibility & Results
Coaching is an active process. Your progress depends on your willingness to engage, reflect, and take action.
Kevin J. Houston does not guarantee specific outcomes. Results vary based on individual effort, consistency, and circumstances. You remain fully responsible for your decisions, actions, and results during and after the coaching relationship.
Confidentiality
All coaching sessions are treated with respect and discretion. Information shared during sessions will not be disclosed without your consent, except where required by law (such as threats of harm to self or others).
Coaching confidentiality is not the same as therapist-client privilege and is not legally protected in the same way.
