Disclaimer

Effective date: October 16, 2026

Information, not treatment

The articles, blog posts, and other content on www.yfpsychology.com are for general education. They are not psychological or medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and they do not replace care from a qualified professional who knows your situation.

No therapist-client relationship

Reading this website, sending a message, booking a consultation, or having a free consultation call does not make you a client. That relationship begins only after an intake session, once we have both agreed to work together and signed informed consent documents.

Not for emergencies

This website, contact form, booking page, and email are not monitored for emergencies. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself or someone else, call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline), call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room.

No guaranteed results

Research statistics on this website are averages from published studies and are credited to their sources. Everyone's experience in therapy is different, and no particular outcome can be promised.

Accuracy and outside links

We work to keep information accurate and current, but research and guidelines change, so some content may become out of date. Links to other websites are provided for convenience. We do not control or endorse their content.

Professional endorsements

Endorsements on this website come from professional colleagues and reflect their own views. They were not paid for. We do not request or publish testimonials from clients.

Fees and services

Fees, availability, and policies on this website may change. Your current fees and policies are the ones in your signed informed consent documents. The free 15-minute consultation is a chance to see whether we are a good fit, not therapy. If you do not have insurance or are not using it, you have the right to a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges. See our Good Faith Estimate notice.

Website content

The text, images, and design of this website belong to YF Psychology LLC or are used with permission. You are welcome to share links or quote brief excerpts with credit. Please do not copy or republish content for commercial use without written permission.
