Family Heart Therapy Coaching Services Agreement

This Coaching Services Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Family Heart Therapy, LLC (“Coach”) and the undersigned Client(s) for participation in a Couples Coaching Transformation Program (1-Month, 3-Month, or 6-Month package).

1. Nature and Scope of Coaching

Family Heart Therapy provides relationship coaching designed to help couples strengthen communication, rebuild connection, and restore intimacy. Coaching is educational and skills-based, not clinical or diagnostic in nature.

Coaching sessions may include:

• Guided relationship-building exercises

• Communication and conflict-resolution training

• Forgiveness and repair strategies

• Personality and compatibility insights

• Implementation of The Partner Blueprint™ curriculum

Unless you reside in the states of Pennsylvania or Washington and have received a verbal agreement from Michael Ryan to provide psychotherapy, all services are considered coaching and not clinical therapy. Coaching does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Clients are encouraged to seek licensed mental health care for clinical issues such as anxiety, depression, or trauma.

2. Coaching Structure and Schedule

• Each coaching session is 40 minutes in length.

• Sessions occur once per week for the duration of the purchased package (1, 3, or 6 months).

• Sessions must be attended as scheduled; missed or skipped sessions cannot be rescheduled or made up within the package.

• Clients are responsible for attending all sessions during the active program period.

3. Communication and Support

Clients enrolled in any Couples Transformation Package receive:

• Full lifetime access to the self-paced online course for couples.

• 24/7 text messaging support for check-ins, questions, and accountability.

  • While the goal is to respond within 72 business hours, reply times may occasionally extend longer based on scheduling, workload, or availability.

• Direct access to Mike Ryan, Relationship Coach, for ongoing guidance and feedback.

4. Fees and Payment

• Program fees are due in full at the time of enrollment.

• Packages are non-refundable and non-transferable once purchased.

• No payment plans or prorated refunds are available.

• Purchase of a program does not guarantee specific results, as progress depends on each couple’s participation and commitment.

5. Client Responsibilities

By signing below, the Client(s) understand and agree that:

• Coaching outcomes depend on active participation and consistent application of the skills taught.

• Clients are responsible for their own emotional regulation and relationship decisions.

• Coaching may bring up sensitive or emotional topics, and the coach’s role is to guide—not to mediate or provide therapy.

• Clients are expected to engage respectfully and honor confidentiality during all sessions and communications.

6. Limitation of Liability

Clients acknowledge that:

• Coaching is not a substitute for therapy, medical care, or legal advice.

• Family Heart Therapy and its affiliates are not liable for emotional, relational, or financial outcomes.

• Clients release and hold harmless Family Heart Therapy, LLC, from any claims arising from participation in coaching or associated programs.

7. Consent and Agreement

By signing this document, the Client(s) acknowledge:

• They have read and fully understand this Agreement.

• They consent voluntarily to receive coaching services.

• They understand this is a coaching relationship designed for education and growth, not a clinical treatment relationship, unless otherwise agreed upon verbally and explicitly with Michael Ryan in Pennsylvania or Washington.
