Service Agreement
Welcome to Spill the Beans. Before we sit down to chat, I want to make sure we’re on the same page regarding what this service is—and what it isn't. This agreement ensures that our time together is safe, productive, and respectful.
1. The Nature of the Service
Peer-to-Peer Support: This service is strictly a person-to-person, live venting, and active listening experience.
Not Therapy: I am not a licensed therapist, psychologist, or medical professional. Our sessions do not include clinical diagnoses, treatment plans, or medical advice.
Professional Peer: While I bring twenty years of experience in public relations and human communication to the table, I am acting as a supportive peer, not a counselor.
2. Logistics & Fees
Meeting Places: All sessions take place in public, high-traffic locations (coffee shops, tea rooms, or boba shops) within the greater Las Vegas area to ensure the safety and comfort of both parties.
Pricing: The service is billed at $50.00 per hour with a one-hour minimum.
Prorated Time: Any time spent beyond the first hour will be prorated based on the $50/hour rate.
Incidental Costs: The session fee covers the time and the conversation; any food or beverages purchased at the meeting location are the responsibility of the individual.
3. Confidentiality & Safety
The "Vegas" Rule: What is shared at the table stays at the table. I maintain high ethical standards regarding your privacy.
Mandatory Reporting: The only exception to confidentiality is if there is talk of self-harm or harming others. In these instances, I am ethically and legally required to report the conversation to the appropriate authorities or emergency services.
Crisis Support: If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please contact the national 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline or local emergency services immediately, as this service is not equipped for crisis intervention.
4. Liability & Release
By booking a session, you acknowledge that you are seeking peer-to-peer support and not professional medical or mental health treatment. You agree to hold Spill the Beans and its founder harmless from any and all claims, loss, or liability arising out of or in connection with the sessions. You understand that "perspective giving" is subjective and that any actions you take following a session are your own responsibility.
5. Acceptance of Terms
Scheduling and paying for a session constitutes your agreement to these terms. I’m looking forward to helping you find some clarity.
