3. Medical & Physical Health Disclaimer

  • The Therapy Services are not a substitute for evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment of physical or medical conditions.
  • I do not diagnose or treat physical diseases, injuries, or medical conditions. If you have or suspect you have a serious physical or medical condition (e.g., cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurological disorders, untreated infections, chronic illness with unknown cause), you agree you will seek evaluation by a qualified medical professional (M.D., D.O., or other licensed medical provider) before or concurrently with any psychotherapeutic work.

4. No Guarantees of Results

You understand and agree that therapy involves personal effort and that results vary. I make no guarantees, representations, or warranties that you will achieve any specific outcome. You accept responsibility for your decisions, actions, and outcomes.

5. Confidentiality & Limits
