Acceptance of terms
These terms apply only to use of this website and related online tools. Clinical care, patient consents, HIPAA notices, payment terms, and insurance policies may be governed by separate documents.
Use of this website
By using this website, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.
You agree not to misuse the website, attempt unauthorized access, interfere with site operation, submit false or misleading information, or use the website for unlawful purposes.
No emergency services
This website, contact forms, email links, and online scheduling links are not for emergencies, crisis care, or urgent clinical needs.
If you may harm yourself or someone else, or if you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, call 911, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or go to the nearest emergency room.
No medical advice through the website
Website content is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or a substitute for care from a qualified health professional.
Submitting a contact form, sending an email, calling the practice, or using this website does not create a provider-patient relationship. A provider-patient relationship begins only after the practice accepts you as a patient and you complete required intake and consent processes.
Appointments and online scheduling
Online booking may be provided through a third-party scheduling platform. Appointments are subject to availability, eligibility, insurance verification where applicable, completion of intake documents, and practice policies.
The practice may decline, reschedule, or cancel appointments when clinically, administratively, or legally appropriate. Specific billing, cancellation, insurance, and payment policies may be provided separately during intake or scheduling.
Telehealth
Telehealth services are available only where the provider is licensed and legally permitted to practice. You are responsible for providing accurate location and contact information at the time of service.
Telehealth requires a reliable internet connection, a private location, and technology that supports clinical communication. The provider may determine that in-person care, emergency care, or another level of care is more appropriate.
Privacy
Your use of this website is also governed by our Privacy Policy. Protected health information handled by the practice may be governed by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.
Third-party links and services
This website may link to third-party websites or services, including scheduling, insurance, payment, map, analytics, or communication providers. We do not control third-party sites and are not responsible for their content, availability, privacy practices, or terms.
Intellectual property
The website design, text, logos, graphics, images, and other content are owned by Mental Health Abounds or used with permission unless otherwise noted.
You may view and use website content for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, modify, distribute, scrape, frame, or exploit website content without prior written permission.
Disclaimer of warranties
This website is provided on an as-is and as-available basis. We do not guarantee that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, current, or free from harmful components.
We make reasonable efforts to keep practice information accurate, but availability, insurance participation, services, hours, and policies may change without notice.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Mental Health Abounds and its owners, clinicians, employees, contractors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from website use.
Nothing in these terms limits rights or remedies that cannot be limited under applicable law.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where federal law controls or applicable law requires otherwise.
Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. The updated terms will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the website after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.
