Professional Disclaimer:
Dr. Lisa Pittman is a licensed psychologist in private practice; However, her services as a Travel Coach are separate from her role and services as a psychologist. As a Travel Coach, she provides advice and guidance related to travel, which may include benefits, barriers, and other aspects of travel that are relevant to the coaching process. While some of this advice and guidance could reflect her background as a mental health provider, she is not contracting with Travel Coach clients in a mental health capacity. If there is any indication that a Travel Coach client could benefit from mental health services, appropriate referrals will be made.
In addition, there are no guarantees with regard to trip outcomes, and The TravelDocta cannot be held liable for undesired trip outcomes.

REFERRAL TO PROFESSIONALS
Travel coaches are not consultants. In coaching, the client holds the power, and it is the duty of the coach to pull information and acknowledgment from within the client, and provide insight, guidance, support, and ideas for them to form their own decisions and realizations. Coaches help clients find the answers from within. This is in contrast to consultants, who hold all power with regard to decision-making and answers.
Travel coaches are not travel agents, and do not make any legal bookings of any travel-related services including, but not limited to: hotels, airlines, tours, reservations, etc. If a client is seeking legal travel-related bookings, it is the coach’s responsibility to direct them to a licensed travel agent (if they are not one themselves). Travel coaches do not make any travel-related bookings but, rather, focus on empowering and guiding clients on how to take control over their own travel planning and booking actions through coaching sessions, resources, information, encouragement, mindset work, and other services and products. Travel agents can be travel coaches or provide travel coaching services, but travel coaches, without necessary training and license, cannot be a travel agent.
Travel coaches do not offer any medical or professional health advice. It is the travel coach’s responsibility to refer the client to a licensed medical professional in situations that require a licensed professional. All wellness-related information is based solely the travel coach’s personal findings, perspectives, experiences, and insight, which may stem from highly-credible proven case studies or research (with sources referenced).
