Terms & Conditions
Last Updated: September 2026
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the Nurturing You Counseling website. By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms.
If you do not agree with these Terms, please discontinue use of the website.
Informational & Educational Purposes Only
The information provided on this website is intended for general informational and educational purposes only.
Website content does not constitute psychotherapy, medical advice, mental health treatment, diagnosis, crisis intervention, or individualized professional advice.
Information provided on this website should not be used as a substitute for evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, or advice from a qualified healthcare professional who is familiar with your individual circumstances.
No Therapist-Client Relationship
Visiting this website, reading its content, submitting a contact form, sending an email, requesting an appointment, or interacting with Nurturing You Counseling through social media does not establish a therapist-client relationship.
A therapist-client relationship is established only after appropriate intake procedures have been completed, required practice documents and informed consent have been addressed, and Nurturing You Counseling has agreed to provide professional services.
Submitting an inquiry or requesting an appointment does not guarantee acceptance as a client or availability of services.
Not for Emergencies or Crisis Care
This website, its contact forms, email accounts, and social media accounts are not emergency or crisis services and may not be monitored continuously.
If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, believe you may harm yourself or someone else, or otherwise require immediate assistance, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
In the United States, you may also call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
Do not rely on this website, email, website forms, or social media to communicate urgent or emergency mental health concerns.
Professional Services & Licensure
Mental health services are provided only in jurisdictions where the treating clinician is legally authorized to practice and when services are clinically appropriate.
Information on this website regarding locations or states served does not guarantee that services can be provided to every individual in every circumstance.
Actual therapy services are governed by separate informed consent documents, practice policies, professional standards, licensing requirements, and applicable laws.
No Guarantee of Results
Every individual and therapeutic experience is different.
Nurturing You Counseling does not guarantee any particular outcome from therapy or the use of information provided through this website.
Descriptions of common experiences, therapeutic approaches, potential benefits, testimonials, examples, or educational content should not be interpreted as promises or guarantees of individual results.

Nurturing You Counseling may use social media to provide general education, information, resources, and marketing content.
Social media content is not therapy and does not create a therapist-client relationship.
Following an account, commenting, liking, sharing, tagging, sending a direct message, or otherwise interacting with Nurturing You Counseling through social media does not constitute treatment or clinical communication.
Social media should not be used to communicate confidential clinical information, urgent mental health concerns, or emergencies.
Because social media interactions may be publicly visible, users are responsible for considering their own privacy when choosing to interact with Nurturing You Counseling online.
To protect confidentiality, Nurturing You Counseling may choose not to respond publicly to interactions from current or former clients and will not publicly confirm an individual’s client status.
