​

1. Introduction and Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to the website of Honoring Your Journey Counseling, LLC (“HYJC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), located at www.honoringyourjourney.com (the “Website”).

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) describe the conditions for accessing and using our Website, including its informational content, online inquiry forms, and other website features.

​

By accessing or using the Website, you acknowledge these Terms. If you do not agree with them, please discontinue use of the Website.

These Terms concern use of the Website only. They do not replace any clinical treatment agreement, informed consent, financial agreement, patient privacy notice, or other document applicable to services provided by a licensed healthcare professional.

 

2. Purpose of the Website

This Website provides general information about behavioral health services, participating clinicians, areas of clinical practice, insurance information, resources, and ways to request an initial consultation.

​

HYJC operates the Website and performs administrative, practice-management, coordination, and related support functions.

​

Professional counseling, psychotherapy, and other clinical services are provided by appropriately licensed individual healthcare professionals, acting within their authorized scopes of practice and subject to applicable professional and state licensing requirements.

​

Clinicians may participate in different professional, contractual, or insurance arrangements. Information displayed on this Website does not alter the identity, professional responsibilities, or legal obligations of the clinician or entity providing a particular service.

​

Nothing on this Website should be interpreted as representing that HYJC, solely through its business or administrative operations, independently practices a licensed healthcare profession.

​

3. Website Information Is Not Medical Advice

The Website may contain educational articles, general mental health information, descriptions of therapeutic approaches, and other resources intended for informational purposes.

​

Such content is not a substitute for an individualized professional assessment, diagnosis, treatment, or advice from a qualified healthcare professional.

Reading Website content does not create a therapist-client or healthcare provider-patient relationship.

​

Visitors should consult an appropriately qualified healthcare professional regarding their specific health concerns.

​

4. No Therapist-Client Relationship Through Website Use

Accessing the Website, submitting an inquiry, requesting a consultation, or communicating through a website form does not automatically establish a therapist-client relationship.

​

A professional treatment relationship is established only when the appropriate clinician accepts the individual for services and applicable intake, consent, and other required procedures have been completed.

​

A consultation request does not guarantee an appointment, acceptance for treatment, a particular clinician, or availability of services.

​

5. Emergencies and Crisis Situations

This Website is not an emergency service and must not be used for urgent mental health or medical emergencies.

​

Website forms, general email addresses, and consultation requests may not be monitored continuously and should not be used to report an immediate crisis.

If you are experiencing an emergency or believe that you or someone else is in immediate danger:

​

• Call 911 or your local emergency services.

• Go to the nearest emergency department.

• In the United States, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

​

Do not wait for a response to a website inquiry during an emergency.

​

6. Consultation Requests and Website Forms

The Website may allow visitors to request an introductory consultation, submit general inquiries, or communicate with HYJC's administrative team.

When using these features, you agree to provide information that is reasonably accurate and necessary for the inquiry.

​

Please avoid including more sensitive personal or health information than is necessary for HYJC to respond to your request.

​

Submitting a form does not guarantee that a clinician is available, that a particular service is appropriate, or that your health insurance will cover services.

Personal and health-related information submitted through the Website will be handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws and HYJC's published privacy notices.

​

7. Availability of Clinical Services and State Licensure

The availability of services depends on factors that may include:

​

• The clinician's professional licensure and authorization to practice in the state where the client is located.

• The clinician's availability and clinical scope of practice.

• Clinical appropriateness and eligibility for services.

• Applicable legal and professional requirements.

• Insurance participation, benefits, and payment arrangements.

​

A reference to a state, city, service, or clinician on the Website does not guarantee that appointments are currently available in that location.

Clinical services will be furnished only when permitted by applicable law and professional licensing requirements.

​

8. Telehealth Services

The Website may describe telehealth and online psychotherapy services provided by participating licensed clinicians.

​

Actual telehealth treatment, including clinical appointments and patient documentation, is coordinated through designated clinical and practice-management systems, such as TherapyNotes, rather than through general Website content.

​

Telehealth availability, consent, privacy, technology requirements, and clinical suitability may be addressed in separate documents provided as part of the clinician's intake and treatment process.

​

These Terms do not replace telehealth-specific informed consent or professional obligations.

​

9. Insurance, Fees, and Payment Information

The Website may provide general information concerning accepted insurance plans, payment arrangements, and fees.

​

Insurance participation may differ by clinician, billing entity, plan, location, and date of service.

​

Information displayed on the Website does not guarantee insurance eligibility, network participation for a particular appointment, reimbursement, coverage, or a specific out-of-pocket expense.

​

Patients remain subject to applicable financial agreements, payer requirements, and legally required cost-sharing obligations.

​

Any fees or payment terms applicable to actual clinical services will be addressed separately through the relevant intake, treatment, billing, or financial documentation.

​

10. Privacy and Protected Health Information

HYJC respects the privacy of Website visitors and individuals seeking behavioral healthcare.

Certain Website features may require users to establish an account or use external services.

​

The Website may link to or interact with third-party platforms, including systems used for patient intake, clinical documentation, scheduling, or other administrative services.

​

Those platforms may have separate terms, privacy policies, and security requirements.

​

Website membership or access to a general visitor account does not, by itself, establish a clinical relationship or provide access to clinical records.

​

Prohibited activities include:

​

The Website may provide links to external websites, professional organizations, educational resources, community services, and third-party platforms.

These links are provided for convenience and informational purposes.

​

Unless otherwise stated, inclusion of a link does not imply that HYJC endorses, controls, or guarantees the accuracy, availability, privacy practices, or services of the external website.

​

Visitors should review the relevant terms and privacy policies before providing information to third-party websites.

​

15. Testimonials, Educational Content, and Treatment Outcomes

Individual experiences described in testimonials, articles, or other Website content do not guarantee that another person will have the same experience or achieve a particular outcome.

​

The effectiveness of behavioral health treatment depends on individual circumstances and many other factors.

​

Information about a clinician's qualifications, licensure, training, and professional experience should be understood in the context of that clinician's specific professional credentials.

​

Nothing on the Website constitutes a guarantee of a particular clinical result.

​

16. Website Availability and Accuracy

HYJC makes reasonable efforts to maintain accurate and current Website information.

​

However, Website information may change, including clinician availability, professional affiliations, insurance participation, and services.

​

The Website may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, technical issues, or other circumstances.

​

Visitors are encouraged to contact HYJC to confirm information that may affect their decisions.

​

To the extent permitted by applicable law, HYJC does not guarantee uninterrupted Website availability or that all general informational content will be free of errors.

​

Nothing in this section limits rights or remedies that cannot legally be waived, or alters the professional duties of licensed clinicians.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, questions concerning these Website Terms will be interpreted under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
