Terms of Use
Effective Date: September 18, 2026
Welcome to www.inpsychotherapy.com (the "Website"), operated by In Psychotherapy ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.
About the Website
In Psychotherapy provides online (telehealth) psychotherapy to clients located in Illinois, including Chicago and surrounding suburbs. The Website provides information about our practice and a way to contact us and request services.
No Therapist-Client Relationship
Visiting the Website, reading its content, or sending us a message does not create a therapist-client relationship. That relationship begins only after we have both agreed to work together, you have completed our intake process, and you have signed our informed consent documents.
Not for Emergencies
The Website, its contact forms, our email, and our voicemail are not monitored for emergencies, and we cannot guarantee a timely response. If you are in crisis or believe you may harm yourself or others, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room.
Educational Information Only
Content on the Website, including any blog posts, articles, or resources, is provided for general educational and informational purposes. It is not medical, psychological, or professional advice, and it is not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment from a qualified professional who knows your individual situation. Please do not rely on it to make decisions about your mental health care.
Please Do Not Send Sensitive Information
Website forms, standard email, and text messages are not guaranteed to be secure. Please do not send detailed health or clinical information through them. Clinical information is shared only within our secure client portal or telehealth platform after you become a client. See our Privacy Policy for more on how we handle information.
Eligibility for Services
Our telehealth services are available to individuals who are physically located in Illinois at the time of each session. Submitting an inquiry does not guarantee that we can accept you as a client. Acceptance depends on availability, clinical fit, and our professional and legal obligations. If we are not the right fit, we will do our best to point you toward other resources.
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Website. Services for minors are handled through our intake process and require consent from a parent or legal guardian, as permitted by law.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
Use the Website for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website, its servers, or any related systems
Introduce viruses, malware, or other harmful code
Interfere with or disrupt the Website's operation or other users' experience
Use automated tools to scrape or copy the Website's content without our written permission
Submit false, misleading, or harassing information, or impersonate another person
Intellectual Property
The Website and its content, including text, graphics, logos, images, and design, are owned by In Psychotherapy or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You may view and print content for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from the Website's content without our prior written permission.
Third-Party Links and Services
The Website may link to third-party websites or use third-party tools, such as scheduling, payment, or telehealth platforms. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, availability, or privacy practices. Your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their own terms.
Disclaimer of Warranties
The Website is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not guarantee that the Website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that its content is complete, accurate, or current.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, In Psychotherapy and its owner, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Website. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, and these Terms do not govern or limit obligations arising from any treatment relationship, which are addressed in your informed consent documents.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising from your use of the Website will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Illinois, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Effective Date" above shows when they were last revised. Continued use of the Website after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.
