These Terms of Service govern your use of the Take Root Therapy website at www.losangelesmftherapist.com (the “Website”). By visiting or using the Website, you agree to these terms.

Therapy services are provided under a separate informed consent and treatment agreement that you will review and sign as a client.
Not Medical or Mental Health Advice
The information on this Website, including blog articles, resources, and descriptions of services, is for general educational purposes only. It is not therapy, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for professional care tailored to your situation. Reading our content or contacting us through the Website does not create a therapist-client relationship. A therapist-client relationship begins only after we have both agreed to work together and you have completed our intake and consent paperwork.
In an Emergency
The Website and our contact forms are not monitored around the clock and should never be used for emergencies. If you are in crisis or believe you may harm yourself or someone else, call 988 (the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline), call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room.
Contacting Us Through the Website
Please do not include detailed personal, medical, or confidential information in contact forms, emails, or text messages, because these methods may not be fully secure. Use them only for general questions and to schedule a consultation. We may respond by email, phone, or text, and you agree that we may use the contact information you provide to reply to you. Please see our Privacy Policy for more detail on how we handle information.
