Disclaimer & Scope of Service
Spiral to Anchor provides parent coaching and education for families in high-conflict co-parenting situations, along with related resources for the professionals who support them. It is not therapy, occupational therapy, medical care, mental health treatment, or legal advice, and it does not replace working with a licensed provider.
Coaching vs. Clinical Services
The coaching and education offered through Spiral to Anchor are not clinical or licensed health services. Working with Spiral to Anchor does not create a therapist-client relationship, an occupational therapy provider-patient relationship, or any other clinical relationship, and it is not a substitute for evaluation or treatment by a licensed professional in your area.
About Joanie’s Credentials
Joanie Johnson is a licensed occupational therapist in Oregon, with more than twenty years of pediatric experience. That background informs the tools, language, and coaching approach used throughout Spiral to Anchor. It does not mean that clients are receiving occupational therapy. Spiral to Anchor does not provide occupational therapy services, clinical treatment, diagnosis, custody recommendations, forensic evaluations, court testimony, or legal strategy.
Availability & Licensing
Because parent coaching and education are not state-licensed clinical services, they are available to families regardless of where they live. Occupational therapy is not offered through this site.
Insurance & Payment
Spiral to Anchor does not bill insurance, and its services are not covered medical or clinical services. Payment is made directly for coaching and educational resources as described at the time of purchase.
