DISCLAIMER
General
The views and advice presented on allisonlatona.com are opinions based on Allison LaTona’s training and experience. The information provided through the website allisonlatona.com is for educational purposes only. Allison’s opinions are offered in good faith, but do not and cannot constitute a therapist/patient relationship, nor are they intended to do so without an agreement, which includes an informed consent signed by the party seeking the therapist’s services. Here, such an agreement is not entered into, formally or informally, because Allison is offering consultation, and not therapy. Therefore, there is no therapist/patient relationship.
In my coaching, speaking, blog posts, articles, and advice to parents I draw on my training as a Marriage and Family Therapist, my research in the field, my own parenting experience, and my many years observing and coaching parents and kids. My intention is that my advice is helpful and inspirational to parents. The following disclaimer reminds advice-seekers that this website is solely educational in nature, and that individual parents are responsible for the use they make of all advice in the website, my newsletters, or courses. The text that may be displayed on the website at any one time may contain only a portion of the relevant information. No therapist/patient relationship is intended nor implied by your use of this website.

Confidentiality
In parent coaching/consulting the client/therapist relationship has not been established for the reasons given above.

Please be forewarned that in such a case, your disclosure or email to me will not be considered confidential and will be shared to the authorities. There are other instances where disclosure to the authorities is required by law.
