Welcome to the website of Laura Long Therapy Services, LLC (“Laura Long Therapy Services,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with these terms, please discontinue use of the website.

Website for Informational and Educational Purposes

The information provided on this website is intended for general informational and educational purposes.

Although Laura Long is a licensed mental health professional, information provided through this website is not a substitute for individualized psychotherapy, mental health treatment, diagnosis, medical care, legal advice, financial advice, or other professional services appropriate to your individual circumstances.

Website content should not be used as the sole basis for making decisions about your mental health, relationships, medical care, finances, business, or other important matters.

No Therapist-Client Relationship

Viewing this website, reading its content, completing a quiz, submitting an inquiry, sending an email, or scheduling a consultation does not establish a therapist-client relationship with Laura Long or Laura Long Therapy Services, LLC.

A therapist-client relationship is established only after the appropriate intake and consent process has been completed, the parties have agreed to begin psychotherapy services, and any other applicable requirements have been satisfied.

Psychotherapy services may be provided only when permitted by applicable licensing laws and professional regulations.

Emergencies and Crisis Situations

This website is not a crisis service and should not be used to request emergency mental health assistance.

Website inquiries, email, scheduling systems, and other website communication methods may not be reviewed immediately.

If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

If you are experiencing a suicidal, mental health, or substance-use crisis in the United States, you may call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Do not use this website or its contact features as your primary means of seeking emergency assistance.

Clinical Supervision

Information on this website regarding clinical supervision is provided for informational purposes and does not establish a supervisory relationship.

A clinical supervision relationship begins only after Laura Long and the prospective supervisee have mutually agreed to work together and any required agreements, documentation, and professional requirements have been completed.

Supervision services are subject to applicable professional licensing requirements and may not be available to every visitor or in every jurisdiction.

Business Consulting

Laura Long Therapy Services also provides private practice consulting and other business-related educational services for mental health professionals.

Business consulting is separate from psychotherapy and does not establish a therapist-client relationship.

Information provided through website articles, resources, consultations, coaching, or other business-related services is educational in nature. Laura Long Therapy Services does not provide legal, tax, accounting, or financial advice.

You are responsible for evaluating business decisions and obtaining advice from appropriately qualified legal, financial, tax, accounting, or other professionals when needed.

No particular business, financial, professional, or practice-growth outcome is promised or guaranteed.

Discernment Counseling Quiz and Other Interactive Content

Any quiz, questionnaire, checklist, article, download, or other interactive resource available through this website is provided for general informational and educational purposes.

Results are not a clinical diagnosis, psychological assessment, professional recommendation, or determination that a particular service is appropriate for you.

In particular, results from the Discernment Counseling quiz are intended to help visitors learn more about Discernment Counseling and consider whether they may wish to seek additional information. Quiz results do not determine whether Discernment Counseling or any other form of treatment is clinically appropriate for a particular couple or individual.

Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate and useful information. However, mental health research, professional standards, laws, regulations, business practices, fees, availability, and other information may change over time.

We do not guarantee that every piece of website content will always be complete, current, or applicable to your individual circumstances.

No Guarantee of Results

Every individual, couple, supervisee, and consulting client is different.

Information presented on this website, including descriptions of services, testimonials where permitted, examples, educational content, or descriptions of possible outcomes, does not constitute a promise or guarantee of a particular result.

Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise indicated, the original text, graphics, branding, downloadable resources, photographs owned by Laura Long Therapy Services, and other original materials appearing on this website are owned by or licensed to Laura Long Therapy Services, LLC and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Third-Party Links and Services

This website may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites and services, including scheduling platforms, educational resources, professional organizations, social media services, and other resources.

Your use of third-party services is subject to the terms and policies of those providers.

Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Laura Long Therapy Services, LLC and its owner, employees, contractors, and representatives will not be responsible for damages arising solely from your use of, inability to use, or reliance upon general informational content provided through this website.

If you become a psychotherapy client, additional privacy practices, informed consent documents, and other professional policies will apply to the clinical relationship.
