Professional Code of Ethics
How To Overcome Betrayal LLC
Last Updated: September 12, 2026
This Professional Code of Ethics describes the standards that guide Marquis Jackson’s non-clinical betrayal recovery coaching practice and the professional commitments clients and website visitors can expect from How To Overcome Betrayal LLC. It is a public statement of professional principles. It does not replace or silently amend a signed Private Coaching Agreement, the Terms and Conditions, the Refund & Cancellation Policy, or the Privacy Policy.
1. PROFESSIONAL ROLE AND SCOPE
I provide non-clinical betrayal recovery coaching focused on education, reflection, personal development, boundaries, trust, decision-making, accountability, and forward movement after betrayal.
Coaching is not psychotherapy, professional mental-health counseling, psychiatric care, diagnosis, treatment planning, medical treatment, crisis intervention, legal advice, or another licensed clinical service. I will not represent coaching as a substitute for a service that requires a licensed or otherwise qualified professional.
When a client’s needs fall outside my coaching scope, I may recommend or require referral to an appropriate licensed or qualified professional.
2. HONEST REPRESENTATION AND NO GUARANTEES
I will communicate my role, services, qualifications, fees, expectations, and limitations honestly and will not knowingly make misleading claims about coaching.
Coaching is collaborative, and results depend on circumstances, readiness, participation, decisions, timing, and follow-through. I do not guarantee reconciliation, preservation or termination of a relationship, emotional recovery by a particular date, financial results, legal outcomes, or another specific result.
3. RESPECT, DIGNITY, INCLUSION, AND NON-EXPLOITATION
I am committed to providing coaching in a manner that respects the dignity, identity, culture, experiences, boundaries, and autonomy of each client.
I will not intentionally use the coaching relationship to manipulate, exploit, intimidate, coerce, or create inappropriate dependency. Coaching should support informed reflection and personal agency rather than replace the client’s own decision-making.
Professional boundaries apply throughout sessions, between-session communications, portal interactions, and other coaching-related contact.
4. PRIVACY AND RESPONSIBLE INFORMATION HANDLING
I will use reasonable measures to protect information shared in the coaching relationship and will handle client information in accordance with the applicable signed Coaching Agreement and Privacy Policy.
Coaching confidentiality is contractual and is not the same as therapist-patient, counselor-client, physician-patient, attorney-client, or another statutory or evidentiary privilege unless applicable law independently provides such protection.
Client information may be accessed, processed, retained, or disclosed in the limited circumstances described in the Coaching Agreement and Privacy Policy, including authorized service-provider processing, lawful process, protection of legal rights, and certain good-faith safety situations permitted or required by law.
I will not use a client’s name, voice, image, likeness, testimonial, direct quotation, identifiable personal story, actual session recording, or client-created written work for public advertising or promotional use without separate written authorization when required by law or Company policy.
5. BOUNDARIES, CLIENT AUTONOMY, AND CONFLICTS
Clients remain responsible for their own decisions, actions, relationships, health decisions, legal decisions, financial decisions, and results. My role is to support reflection, clarity, accountability, and forward movement without taking control of the client’s life decisions.
I will maintain professional boundaries and may pause, decline, refer, or end coaching when a matter falls outside my scope, a conflict materially impairs the coaching relationship, a serious safety concern arises, or continued coaching would otherwise be inappropriate under the signed Coaching Agreement.
6. COMPETENCE, REFERRAL, AND SAFETY
I will continue learning and improving my coaching practice while remaining within the limits of the services I am qualified and authorized to provide.
How To Overcome Betrayal LLC is not an emergency or crisis-response service. The portal, email, text messaging, and between-session communications are not continuously monitored. If there is an immediate danger of self-harm, harm to another person, or another emergency, the appropriate response is to contact 911, 988, local emergency services, or an appropriate licensed professional or crisis resource.
7. ACCOUNTABILITY AND PROFESSIONAL GROWTH
I will make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate business practices, communicate material expectations clearly, address mistakes when identified, protect professional boundaries, and improve systems when experience or changing obligations show that an update is appropriate.
I will not promise perfection, but I will approach the coaching relationship with integrity, care, professional responsibility, and respect for the client’s autonomy.
8. RELATIONSHIP TO CLIENT AGREEMENTS AND POLICIES
This Code describes my professional commitments. It is not a separate coaching contract and does not create financial, recording, dispute-resolution, refund, scheduling, or other terms that replace a signed Coaching Agreement.
For private coaching, the applicable signed Coaching Agreement controls the coaching relationship. The Refund & Cancellation Policy governs the public refund and cancellation framework, subject to more specific signed coaching terms. The Privacy Policy explains data practices. The Terms and Conditions govern the website, accounts, portal access, products, and other general online interactions.
