Coaching & content disclaimer

Draft — review with a qualified professional before launch.

Coaching is not therapy

Shamica Baxter is a life coach. She is not a licensed therapist, counselor, psychologist, physician, attorney or other licensed professional, and life coaching is not a substitute for their services. Coaching does not diagnose or treat any mental-health or medical condition.

Dear Shamica content is perspective, not professional advice

Letters, responses, articles, videos and events on this site share perspective, experience and education. They are general in nature, may not fit your specific circumstances, and are not therapy, mental-health treatment, medical care or legal advice. Please use your own judgment, and consult a qualified professional about your situation.

No guarantees

Every person and situation is different. Coaching and content are offered to help you think, reflect and decide more clearly. We can’t promise specific results.

If you’re in crisis

If you are in crisis, thinking about harming yourself or someone else, or in an unsafe relationship, please reach out for immediate help:

• Call or text 988: Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (US)
• National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233
• In an emergency, dial 911

Letters and submissions

By submitting a letter you agree it may be edited and published anonymously under the name you signed. Not every letter can be answered, and a response is not a substitute for individualized professional support.
