TERMS & CONDITIONS
Limitations of Service/Pros and Cons
 Online Therapy is not intended to replace face-to-face therapy with
a professional therapist. The pros and cons of using this service need
to be fully considered when determining if online
therapy is right for
you.
Online Therapy is likely to be ineffective for people who are actively
suicidal, homicidal, hallucinating, or extremely paranoid. If you are
suicidal you should contact your local emergency room or
1-800-SUICIDE. Online Therapy also eliminates physical and visual
emotional cues which can make interpretation of statements difficult
at times.
Online
Therapy is effective for those who wish to speak to a
professional about their problems while in the privacy of
their own home.
This service also enables
those who are not, due to physical limitations, able to chat
with a professional therapist about problems they may be
facing.
This service allows for
increased privacy for those who do not wish to be seen going
for services in a clinic, office, or hospital setting.
This service can also save
you time and money as the fees offered on this site are a
fraction of the cost to visit a therapist in private
practice face-to-face.
