Legal Question in Legal Ethics in California
As a Life Coach without licensing, what can I legally refer to my work as: can I say I specialize in things like addiction counseling or addiction therapy, youth counseling, nutritional counseling, family counseling, art therapy etc. or are the terms "counseling" and "therapy" and "treatment" only legally applicable to licensed Mental Health Professionals?

Those terms require licensing if that is what you are doing. It sounds like what you are doing is illegal to do without a license. If what you are doing is not actually the activities you describe, then you are issuing false advertising.
