Disclaimer

Sacred Self Counseling provides outpatient behavioral health services only. Our clinicians operate within the scope of their professional training, licensure, and ethical guidelines. If a client’s needs require services beyond what can be safely or appropriately provided in an outpatient setting, Sacred Self Counseling reserves the right to refer the client to another provider, specialist, or a higher level of care. This may include, but is not limited to, situations involving acute suicidal ideation, significant self-harm behaviors, severe and persistent mental illness, psychosis, delusional disorders, substance withdrawal requiring medical monitoring, or other conditions that require more intensive treatment.

Sacred Self Counseling is not a crisis response service. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency or are in immediate danger, please call 911 or contact your local crisis line.

We are committed to maintaining a safe, professional, and respectful environment for both clients and staff. Sacred Self Counseling reserves the right to decline, suspend, or terminate services if a client’s behavior is threatening, abusive, harassing, or otherwise disruptive to the safety and functioning of the practice.

By engaging in services with Sacred Self Counseling, clients acknowledge and agree that referrals to other providers or levels of care may be necessary when clinically indicated.
