The short version. Coaching is not therapy, counseling, or medical or mental health treatment. It is not a substitute for care from a licensed professional. If what you are carrying needs clinical care, please seek it — and Carole will tell you directly if she believes that is the case.
In Carole’s words. The teaching I share is educational and rooted in my Christian faith. I am not a pastor and do not have theological or seminary training. I believe God has given me the ability to share His Word in a simple, practical and understandable way, but I encourage you to study Scripture for yourself, seek God personally, and use discernment in everything you hear or read, including from me.
Coaching is not counseling or therapy
Carole Mendoza is a coach, speaker and author. She is not a licensed therapist, counselor, psychologist, psychiatrist, physician, attorney or financial adviser, and nothing on this website or in a coaching relationship should be treated as therapy, medical advice, mental health treatment, legal advice or financial advice.
Coaching is a forward-focused process designed to help you gain clarity, consider your options, make decisions and take meaningful next steps. It is not clinical care and does not diagnose, treat or prevent mental health or medical conditions. Coaching and professional counseling serve different purposes, and coaching is not a substitute for care from a licensed professional.
When to speak to a licensed professional instead
If you are dealing with a mental health condition, a medical condition, addiction, abuse, or a crisis of any kind, please speak with a licensed professional. Coaching is not the right tool for those things, and beginning coaching should not delay care you need.
If you are in crisis
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services or a licensed mental health professional right away. Please do not wait for a coaching session.
No guaranteed outcomes
Coaching is a working partnership. Carole brings questions, Scripture, experience and honesty; you bring your situation and the decisions that are yours to make.
What you do with a session is your own responsibility, and no specific result, income, opportunity or outcome is promised or implied by anything on this website, in the assessment, in Carole’s books or resources, or in a coaching relationship.
Testimonials and individual stories shared on this website reflect personal experiences and should not be interpreted as a promise or guarantee that another person will achieve the same results.
Faith content
This website includes Scripture, prayer and biblical teaching and reflects Carole’s Christian faith and her approach to coaching. It is offered as encouragement, education and perspective, not as a substitute for your own study of Scripture, your relationship with God, your church, or the counsel of your own pastor or spiritual leaders.
The assessment
Discover Your Identity is a free reflective tool, not a clinical, psychological or diagnostic assessment. It is not validated as a psychometric instrument, and its results are not a diagnosis, evaluation or professional opinion. It is designed to encourage reflection and help you consider patterns, strengths and perspectives about yourself.
Books, articles and resources
The writing, teaching and resources on this website and in Carole’s books are educational and general in nature. They are not tailored to your individual circumstances and cannot account for every situation.
Use your own judgment and seek qualified professional advice when your circumstances call for it.
Links to other websites
This site links to third-party services for scheduling, purchasing books and resources, viewing videos, social media and other purposes. Those services have their own terms and privacy practices, and Carole Mendoza Coaching, LLC is not responsible for their content or their handling of your information.
