Not a Substitute for Therapy

The content on this website—including but not limited to blog posts, articles, newsletter excerpts, resources, and any other written or multimedia material—is provided for informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute psychotherapy, medical advice, or any other form of professional mental health treatment.

Reading, viewing, or engaging with any content on this website does not establish a therapist-client relationship between you and Jessica "Chiara" Viscomi. A therapist-client relationship is established only through a formal intake process and signed clinical consent documentation.

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or emergency, please contact 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline), 911, or go to your nearest emergency room. This website is not an appropriate resource for crisis situations.

No Therapist-Client Relationship

Visiting this website, subscribing to The Lapidary newsletter, submitting a contact form, or scheduling a consultation call does not create a therapist-client relationship. A formal therapist-client relationship is only established upon completion of the intake process and execution of a clinical services agreement.

Any information you share through this website prior to becoming a client is not protected by therapist-client privilege and should not include sensitive personal or clinical information.

Disclaimer

Your use of the Service is at your sole risk. The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or course of performance.

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Los Angeles County, California.

My failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between us regarding the Service.

Changes

I reserve the right, at my sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material I will endeavor to provide at least 30 days notice before any new terms take effect. By continuing to access or use the Service after revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, please discontinue use of the Service.
