Disclaimer

Effective Date: November 15th, 2024

The information provided on this website, by Atlantis Counseling ("I," "me," or "my"), is intended for informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for professional mental health advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

1. No Professional Advice

The content provided on this website, including but not limited to text, articles, blog posts, videos, and any other materials, is for general informational purposes only. It is not intended to provide professional, medical, or psychological advice. While I strive to provide accurate and helpful information, the use of this website does not establish a therapist-client relationship, nor should it be considered a replacement for seeking professional counseling, therapy, or other mental health services.

If you are experiencing mental health concerns, emotional distress, or medical conditions, I strongly encourage you to seek the guidance of a licensed mental health professional. In case of a medical emergency or crisis, please call emergency services immediately or go to the nearest emergency room.

2. No Therapist-Client Relationship

Accessing or using this website does not establish a therapist-client relationship between you and Atlantis Counseling. A therapist-client relationship can only be established through a formal agreement and in-person or telehealth sessions. Please note that any communication through this website or via email does not replace an official appointment or therapeutic intervention.

3. Telehealth Services and Limitations

If you are accessing therapy services through telehealth (online therapy), it is important to recognize that online therapy may not be appropriate for all individuals or conditions. While telehealth services are a convenient and effective way to receive therapy, there may be limitations compared to in-person care, including technological issues, difficulty in establishing rapport, or challenges in managing emergencies remotely.

4. Confidentiality and Privacy

I take confidentiality seriously, and all services provided by Atlantis Counseling adhere to strict privacy protocols, including HIPAA compliance. However, I cannot guarantee complete confidentiality through email or other unencrypted communication methods. Please review our Privacy Policy for more detailed information about how your data is collected, used, and protected.

5. No Guarantee of Results

While therapy can be a transformative and healing process, individual results vary. Atlantis Counseling makes no guarantees regarding the outcomes of therapy. Success in therapy depends on many factors, including the nature of the issue being addressed, the client’s commitment to the process, and the therapeutic techniques used. I am committed to providing high-quality, compassionate care, but I cannot promise specific results or outcomes.

6. External Links and Third-Party Content

This website may contain links to external websites for your convenience. These links are provided for informational purposes only and do not imply endorsement or responsibility for the content, accuracy, or views expressed by those external sites. Atlantis Counseling does not control or operate these third-party websites, and we are not responsible for any damages or issues that arise from your use of these linked websites.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Atlantis Counseling, its therapists, and staff shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or any damages arising from loss of data or profits, arising out of your use or inability to use this website or services.

I do not guarantee that this website or any of its services will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free of viruses or other harmful components. You assume all responsibility for your use of this website and agree to take appropriate precautions when accessing any content.

8. Changes to the Website or Services

I reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of this website or our therapy services at any time, without notice. I may also update or change the content on this site, including this Disclaimer, and encourage you to review it periodically to stay informed of any changes.

9. Jurisdiction and Governing Law
