Terms & Conditions

Last Updated June 2026

By accessing or using this Website, you agree to be bound by the following Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree with these terms, please discontinue use of this Website.

1. Purpose of This Website

The information provided on this Website, including blog posts, articles, downloadable resources, and other content, is intended for educational and informational purposes only. The content is designed to promote mental health awareness, personal growth, and emotional wellness but should not be interpreted as individualized psychological advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Every person's experiences and circumstances are unique. The information shared here is not a substitute for working with a qualified mental health professional or other healthcare provider.

2. No Therapist-Client Relationship

Your use of this Website does not establish a therapist-client relationship.

Reading blog posts, downloading resources, subscribing to newsletters, sending messages through the contact form, or communicating by email does not create a professional counseling relationship.

A therapist-client relationship is established only after:

  • An initial consultation,

  • Completion of required intake documentation,

  • Mutual agreement that services are appropriate, and

  • Formal acceptance as a client.

Until that process has occurred, please do not assume that I am acting as your therapist or providing individualized mental health care.

3. Not for Emergencies

This Website and any associated communication channels are not monitored continuously and should never be used for urgent or emergency situations.

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, believe you may harm yourself or another person, or require immediate assistance:

  • Call 911

  • Go to your nearest emergency room

  • Contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline

  • Reach out to a trusted local emergency resource

Please do not rely on this Website, email, or contact forms during a crisis.

4. No Guarantee of Results

The content provided on this Website reflects professional knowledge, clinical experience, and personal perspective; however, no guarantees are made regarding any particular outcome.

Healing is deeply personal and influenced by many factors beyond the scope of educational content. Your use of the information on this Website is voluntary and at your own discretion.

5. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise noted, all content on this Website—including text, blog posts, graphics, logos, branding, downloadable resources, photographs, and original written materials—is the intellectual property of Olivia Burdick and is protected by applicable copyright laws.

You may:

  • Read and share links to Website content

  • Print materials for personal, non-commercial use

You may not:

  • Copy or reproduce content in its entirety

  • Republish blog posts without permission

  • Sell, modify, or distribute Website materials

  • Claim any original content as your own

Written permission is required for any use beyond personal reference.

6. Blog Comments and Community Standards

If comments are enabled, visitors are expected to engage respectfully.

I reserve the right to edit or remove comments that are:

  • Offensive or abusive

  • Harassing or discriminatory

  • Defamatory

  • Promotional or spam-related

  • Misleading or inappropriate

Comments posted by users represent the opinions of those individuals and do not necessarily reflect my views or professional opinions.

7. External Links

This Website may occasionally provide links to third-party websites or resources for additional information or convenience.

I am not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, or privacy practices of any external website and make no endorsements or guarantees regarding third-party information or services.

Users access external resources at their own discretion.

8. Contact Form and Electronic Communication

The contact form and email are intended for scheduling inquiries and general questions only.

Please do not submit confidential, sensitive, or detailed personal health information through these channels.

While reasonable efforts are made to maintain security, electronic communication carries inherent privacy risks and cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Submitting information through this Website does not establish a therapist-client relationship.

9. Geographic Scope of Services

Therapy services are provided only where permitted by applicable licensing laws.

The information presented on this Website is intended for a general audience and should not be interpreted as an offer to provide counseling services in jurisdictions where I am not authorized to practice.

10. Limitation of Liability

By using this Website, you acknowledge that you assume full responsibility for your use of the information provided.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Olivia Burdick shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from the use of this Website or reliance upon its content.

11. Changes to These Terms

These Terms & Conditions may be updated periodically to reflect changes in services, legal requirements, or Website functionality.

The most current version will always be posted on this page with an updated effective date.

Continued use of the Website following any revisions constitutes acceptance of those changes.
