Coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental health disorders, psychological conditions, or emotional pathologies.
Child & Youth Services
Coaching for minors is non-clinical and focuses on skill-building, emotional awareness, communication, and personal development. Coaching is not therapy, behavioral treatment, or clinical intervention. Parents or legal guardians are responsible for seeking licensed mental health care if clinical concerns arise.

Ministerial Services Disclaimer
Premarital preparation services offered through Grace Shannon Wellness are provided under the ministerial authority of Marchelle Brinson as an ordained minister through the American Marriage Ministries (AMM).
