Post-Certification Questions

  1. Does the Relational Life Institute provide graduates with access to clients once graduated?

No. We have several different programs such as the full Certification and the Training program.  While the full Certification allows access to being listed on our Practitioner Directory, the Training program does not.  For Certified Students, we require that they enroll in one RLI hosted course in the calendar year in order to stay on the Practitioner Directory.


  1. What are the annual course requirements to stay on the Practitioner Directory?

We require that you enroll in one RLI hosted course in the Calendar year and to then reach out to Lisa Sullivan, our Manager of Operations, with your receipt so that she can check you off to stay on the Practitioner Directory.

NOTE: we DO NOT require that you have CEs for a course, only that you enroll in one hosted by RLI, taught by Terry either with another Instructor or on his own. This is to help you stay up to date on Terry's current RLT work that does change and evolve.​​​​


  1. Can I, as a Therapist, work as a Coach with clients in other states or countries than my license?

Licensing boards vary widely from state to state, and province to province.  They also vary greatly by license type; licensed psychologist, licensed professional counselor, licensed marriage and family therapist, etc. Each of these licenses has its own governing body and it varies state to state even within the same license.

You as the Clinician should take this question to your licensing board. That is the governing body in your region for your license and the only body that can properly answer this question for you. 

It is  important to note, if you as a Therapist call your work Coaching and you are ever sued, it will be considered at the level of your highest licensure, not your coaching certification. It is also important to note the regulations for the state or province where the client is. 

Basically, at least in North America, we do not encourage people to work across state or provincial lines where they do not hold a valid license.
