Not therapy or medical care

Nothing on this site is psychological, psychiatric or medical diagnosis or treatment, and it is not a substitute for care from a licensed professional who knows your situation. Coaching and consulting engagements are not therapy. Visiting the site, completing an exercise or sending a message does not create a therapist and client or any other professional relationship.

If you need help now

If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 in the United States to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call your local emergency number. Outside the United States, contact your local emergency services.

Results

Stories and outcomes described on the site reflect individual experiences. Growth depends on many factors, and we do not promise particular results.

Assessments

The TPRAT and the Relational Quotient™ are tools for reflection and development. They are not clinical instruments and should not be used for hiring, diagnosis or other high-stakes decisions on their own.
