Confidentiality: The Consultant will only release information about our work to others with your written permission or if I am required to do so by a court order. While I am not practicing counseling or psychotherapy, my education, license and certification as a mental health counselor may indicate situations in which I am legally obligated by Federal and State laws to breach your confidentiality in order to protect others from harm, including the following:
(1) If I have information that indicates that a child, elderly or disabled person is being abused, I must report that to the appropriate state agency; and;
(2) If a client is an imminent risk to him/herself or makes threats of imminent violence against another person, I am require d to take protective actions. These situations rarely occur in coaching practices, but if such a situation does occur, I will make every effort to discuss it with you before taking any action.

Sessions: Sessions are conducted via telephone or the internet. You, The Client, agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all information communicated to you by your Consultant.

I am working with you in the role of Consultant which means that I will share my knowledge and advice with you regarding the topics you wish to explore. I am trained as a coach and psychotherapist, and although consulting, coaching and psychotherapy may utilize knowledge of human behavior, motivation, behavioral change, and interactive counseling techniques, there are major differences in the goals, focus, and level of professional responsibility. Personal Consultation is not coaching, nor does it replace licensed medical support. Your Personal Consultation may be a complement to traditional medicine and not a replacement. The Consultant’s approaches may include but are not limited to Reiki, Aromatherapy, and Energy Medicine. Complementary and alternative modalities are not used to treat, diagnose, or cure any illness. Please know that energy work, including Reiki, can be conducted hands-on, hands-off or via distance. These processes can or may manipulate the energy field. If agreed upon as part of the consultation offerings, you give permission to receive Reiki (life force) energy from The Consultant via distance, DeeAnna Nagel, via hands-off or distant methods. The alternative modalities I utilize to support optimal wellness do not offer any guarantee of success.
Psychotherapy, on the other hand, is a health care service. Its primary focus is to identify, diagnose, and treat nervous and mental disorders. The goals include alleviating symptoms, understanding the underlying personality dynamics which create symptoms, changing the dysfunctional behaviors which are the result of these disorders, and helping patients to cope with t heir psychological problems. While psychotherapy may be reimbursable through health insurance policies, personal consultation services are not. It is understood and agreed to by The Client and The Consultant that if either of us recognizes that you, The Client, have a problem that would benefit from psychotherapy, I, The Consultant, may refer you to appropriate resources in addition to or in lieu of Coaching.
Affiliate/Distributor Products & Services: In addition to being a Young Living Essential Oils Brand Partner, the products and services recommended on my website or through coaching/consulting materials I use are those that I am familiar with or endorse. They are included because I believe that they may be of interest to you. However, in the spirit of full transparency, I would like you to know that I do receive compensation from some of those products / services that I recommend. You are never obligated to purchase any additional materials or services other than those services already agreed upon here.
