Terms of Service
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Steady Mind Counseling website, online forms, scheduling tools, and informational resources. By accessing or using this website, you agree to comply with these Terms. Steady Mind Counseling is based in Texas and provides telehealth services to clients located in states where the clinician is appropriately licensed, including Texas, Pennsylvania, and Indiana. These Terms are governed by applicable federal and state laws, including the laws of the State of Texas, except where another jurisdiction's laws apply to the provision of professional services. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please discontinue use of the website immediately.
About Our Services
Steady Mind Counseling provides online mental health counseling and psychotherapy to clients located in states where the clinician is appropriately licensed, including Texas, Pennsylvania, and Indiana. This website provides general information about the practice, the therapist, services offered, and how to get started with therapy.
The information provided on this website is for general informational and educational purposes only and is not a substitute for individualized clinical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Visiting this website, submitting an inquiry, or using its informational resources does not establish a therapeutic relationship. A therapeutic relationship is established only after appropriate screening, completion of required documentation, and execution of an informed consent agreement prior to the start of services.
If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or are in immediate danger, call or text 988, call 911, or go to the nearest emergency department. This website and its contact forms are not continuously monitored and should not be used for emergency or crisis communication.
Telehealth Services
Therapy services are provided online via HIPAA-compliant telehealth platforms. By scheduling and attending sessions, you agree to a separate Informed Consent for Telehealth Services, which will be provided to you prior to your first appointment. That agreement governs clinical relationships and supersedes anything stated on this website regarding therapy services.
Telehealth services are subject to applicable licensing laws and professional regulations. Services are available only to clients who are physically located in a state where the clinician is appropriately licensed at the time of service, including Texas, Pennsylvania, and Indiana.

Governing Law & Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, except where the laws of another jurisdiction apply. For clients receiving professional services while located in Texas, Pennsylvania, or Indiana, applicable federal and state laws, licensing requirements, and professional regulations may also apply.
