Policies

I am not licensed as a therapist, professional listener, or coach. The service I provide is not a substitute for professional therapy, counseling, or coaching.

Disclaimer

  • I will only meet in public spaces such as restaurants, libraries, etc., or online.

  • Will I get in your car? No. Will I get in a taxi or rideshare with you? Most likely, as long as I see that it's a legitimate taxi/rideshare.

  • There will be no touching. But will I hug?

    • If you request a hug *and* I feel comfortable with it, then yes.

  • There will be nothing sexual, sensual, or romantic between us.

  • I do not pretend to be a real friend. I’m unsure if a person can be paid to be a true friend.

  • I don’t call myself a “fake” friend either. I want to show up authentically for you.

  • I will not pretend to be your date, nor will I pretend to be anyone I’m not. I am your Social Accompanist, nothing more.

  • It's okay for me to say no at any time. I don't have to do something I'm uncomfortable with.

  • I will refuse to engage in any criminal activity. (Obviously.)

  • I am not licensed as a therapist, professional listener, or coach. I won’t attempt to diagnose you or come up with any solutions for you.

Boundaries

I have the right to refuse any request for any reason, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • I’m uncomfortable with the request

  • I have a scheduling conflict

  • I feel that the request is outside of my scope

Right to refuse

Cancellation

I ask that you notify me of your cancellation before I begin traveling to meet you, and that you reimburse me for any fare I may have already purchased. Other than that, there is no fee.
