Limits of Online Classes

Although many former clients express a positive attitude towards our online classes, We cannot guarantee a positive outcome. In addition, online education has only been in existence for several years, and researchers are only now beginning to study its effectiveness. Thus, you understand that engaging in online classes may be considered experimental. Based on what is known thus far, online distance education is not equally safe and effective for all individuals. Thus, we reserve the right to choose whether or not to work with you online. We will work with you only if we feel that you are a suitable candidate. If, during our work together, we discover that you are not, in fact, someone who can benefit from online classes we will discuss this with you immediately and will suggest that you seek out the services of another professional in your local area to for a face-to-face consultation.

We cannot be held responsible for providing services to you in the event of a crisis or emergency situation. While we will do our best to continue to provide services as appropriate if a crisis or emergency develops during our work together, because we are working long-distance, we do not have access to resources that we would otherwise have in such a situation. Thus, you may need to find a local counselor if such a situation arises.We cannot be held responsible for breaches in provision of services to you that are due to our computers malfunctioning, and/or loss of electricity or Internet connection. Our phone number is posted on this website; if you hear from us when you expect to, please don't hesitate to call us at this number. However, bear in mind that if there is an electrical outage, the phone lines may also not be working, temporarily.
