TERMS OF USE
1. Educational and Informational Purposes
The information provided on this website is intended for general educational and informational purposes only. Content related to mental health, emotional well-being, relationships, trauma, psychotherapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and other therapeutic approaches is not intended to substitute for individualized professional evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice. Although we strive to provide accurate and helpful information, mental health experiences and treatment needs vary from person to person. You should not rely solely on information presented on this website when making decisions about your mental or physical health. Please consult an appropriately qualified healthcare professional regarding your individual needs.
2. No Therapist-Client Relationship
Accessing or using this website does not establish a therapist-client relationship between you and Rooted Wellness Center LLC or any of its clinicians. A therapeutic relationship is established only after appropriate intake procedures, informed consent, applicable practice documentation, and mutual agreement to begin clinical services. Submitting a contact form, sending an email, requesting an appointment, or communicating with the practice does not independently establish a therapist-client relationship. We reserve the right to determine whether prospective clients are appropriate for the services offered, consistent with applicable professional and legal obligations.
3. Not Intended for Emergencies or Crisis Services
This website is not designed to provide emergency mental health services, crisis intervention, or immediate clinical support. Messages submitted through the website, email, or other non-emergency communication channels may not be monitored continuously and should not be used for urgent situations. If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, call 911 or seek assistance from the nearest emergency department. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis in the United States, you may call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Information provided on this website should not be used as a substitute for emergency evaluation or treatment.
4. Clinical Services and Availability
Rooted Wellness Center provides mental health counseling and related professional services in accordance with applicable licensing requirements, professional standards, and laws. Services may include individual psychotherapy, couples counseling, trauma-focused treatment, EMDR therapy, telehealth, and in-person sessions. The availability, format, duration, fees, and suitability of services may vary. Information presented on this website regarding services, fees, scheduling, or availability is subject to change and does not constitute a guarantee of treatment, appointment availability, insurance coverage, or clinical outcomes. Clinical services are governed by separate informed consent documents, practice policies, and any applicable agreements provided during the intake process. In the event of a conflict between general website information and an applicable signed clinical agreement, the clinical agreement will govern the clinical services to the extent permitted by law.
5. Telehealth and Geographic Limitations
Rooted Wellness Center is based in Florida and provides clinical services in accordance with applicable professional licensing laws and regulations. Telehealth services are generally available only when the clinician is legally authorized to provide services to a client in the jurisdiction where the client is physically located at the time of the appointment. Access to this website from another state or country does not establish eligibility for clinical services. Prospective clients are responsible for providing accurate location information when requesting or receiving telehealth services. Availability of telehealth services may depend on licensing requirements, clinical appropriateness, technology, and other applicable considerations.
