Effective October 1, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of clarapsychotherapy.com (the “Website”), operated by Clara Psychotherapy LLC (“Clara Psychotherapy,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

Informational Purposes Only

The Website provides general information about Clara Psychotherapy, psychotherapy services, relationships, mental health, and related topics.

Website content is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not psychotherapy, medical care, diagnosis, treatment, crisis intervention, or individualized professional advice. Website content should not be used as a substitute for care from a qualified professional who understands your particular circumstances.

No Therapist-Client Relationship

Visiting the Website, reading its content, subscribing to emails, submitting an inquiry, sending an email, or scheduling or attending an initial consultation does not automatically create a therapist-client relationship.

A therapist-client relationship is established only after Clara Psychotherapy has determined that services are appropriate, both parties have agreed to work together, and all required intake and informed-consent documents have been completed.

Clara Psychotherapy may decline an inquiry or referral when services are unavailable, outside the practice’s scope, outside an authorized jurisdiction, or otherwise not an appropriate fit.

Emergencies

The Website, email address, contact forms, newsletter, and consultation system are not monitored as emergency or crisis services.

If you may harm yourself or someone else, are experiencing a medical or mental-health emergency, or need immediate assistance:

• Call 911 or your local emergency number.

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

• Go to the nearest emergency department.

• Contact an appropriate local crisis service.

Do not wait for a response from Clara Psychotherapy through the Website or email during an emergency.

Location and Eligibility for Services

Clara Psychotherapy provides telehealth psychotherapy only when the client is physically located in a jurisdiction where the treating clinician is legally authorized to practice.

At present, services may be available to appropriate clients physically located in California, Florida, or Puerto Rico at the time of a session.

Website access is not limited to these locations, but the ability to view the Website does not establish eligibility for clinical services. Service availability may also depend on clinical fit, scheduling capacity, licensing requirements, and other professional considerations.

Communications and Sensitive Information

Website forms and ordinary email are intended for general questions and administrative communication. They should not be used to submit detailed clinical information, medical records, diagnoses, Social Security numbers, payment-card information, or other highly sensitive information.

Electronic communications may not be fully secure, uninterrupted, or confidential. By contacting Clara Psychotherapy electronically, you acknowledge the ordinary risks associated with electronic communication.

Scheduling, Fees, and Practice Policies

Information displayed on the Website about scheduling, session length, fees, availability, reimbursement, or practice policies is general information and may change.

Clinical services are governed by the agreements and disclosures provided during the intake process, including applicable informed-consent documents, financial policies, cancellation policies, privacy notices, and Good Faith Estimate information.

If Website content conflicts with a signed clinical agreement or legally required clinical notice, the signed agreement or required notice controls.

Clara Psychotherapy does not guarantee that an insurance company will reimburse any particular service or amount. Clients are responsible for confirming their out-of-network benefits directly with their insurance carrier.

Third-Party Services and Links

The Website may include links to third-party services, including SimplePractice, Squarespace, Google services, social-media platforms, and other external resources.

Those services are operated independently and may have their own terms, privacy policies, security practices, and accessibility standards. Clara Psychotherapy does not control and is not responsible for third-party content, availability, security, or data practices.

A link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement of every statement, service, or product offered by the third party.

Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the Website’s original text, branding, graphics, design elements, downloads, and other original content are owned by or licensed to Clara Psychotherapy and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may view and print reasonable portions of the Website for your personal, noncommercial use. You may not reproduce, republish, sell, distribute, modify, scrape, frame, or commercially exploit Website content without prior written permission, except as permitted by law.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Website for an unlawful, fraudulent, threatening, or abusive purpose

• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website or related systems

• Introduce malware, malicious code, or disruptive technology

• Interfere with the Website’s operation or security

• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity

• Use automated methods to scrape, copy, or overwhelm the Website

• Submit information that infringes another person’s rights

• Attempt to use the Website as an emergency or crisis-response service

No Guarantees

Clara Psychotherapy does not guarantee a particular clinical outcome, personal result, availability, response time, insurance reimbursement, or suitability of services.

The Website is provided on an “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties concerning uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, completeness, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose.

Nothing in these Terms limits obligations or rights that cannot legally be limited.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Clara Psychotherapy will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from or related to Website use, inability to use the Website, reliance on general Website content, or use of a third-party link or service.

This limitation does not apply where liability cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. It does not alter any duty that may arise through an independently established therapist-client relationship.

Privacy

Use of the Website is also subject to the Clara Psychotherapy Privacy Policy. Clinical information and records are governed separately by the privacy notices and clinical documents provided to clients.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Louisiana, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where another jurisdiction’s mandatory consumer or professional protections apply.

Nothing in this section changes the professional laws and regulations governing psychotherapy services in the jurisdiction where a client is physically located.

Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms when the Website, practice, services, or applicable requirements change. Revised Terms will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.

Continued use of the Website after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Severability

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
