Terms of service.
The agreement between you and this website. Plain language, no surprises.
This page describes the terms that govern your use of therapywithjuliag.com (“the site”). By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.
Using the site does not create a therapeutic relationship.
Reading this site, sending a message through the contact form, or chatting with the AI assistant does not, by itself, establish a therapist–client relationship. A therapeutic relationship begins only after we have completed a consultation, signed an Informed Consent for Treatment, and scheduled a first session.
Information on this site is general and educational. It is not clinical advice and is not a substitute for evaluation or treatment by a licensed professional.
The site is not for emergencies.
If you are in crisis or believe you may harm yourself or someone else, do not use this site. Call or text 988 (the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room.
Messages submitted through the site, the AI assistant, or email are not monitored 24/7 and should not be used to communicate emergencies.
About the AI assistant.
The chat widget on this site uses a large language model to answer general questions about the practice. It is not a therapist, does not provide clinical advice, and does not retain a clinical record of your conversation.
Please don’t share sensitive personal health information with the assistant. If you’d like to talk about something private, contact me directly by phone or through the secure client portal.
Acceptable use.
You agree not to use the site to:
- Violate any applicable law or regulation.
- Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity.
- Send unsolicited commercial messages, spam, or malware.
- Attempt to access non-public areas, scrape at scale, or interfere with site operation.
- Reproduce or republish substantial portions of the site’s written content without written permission.
Intellectual property.
All written content, photographs, and design on this site are © 2026 Julia Gurzi, AMFT, unless otherwise credited. You may quote brief excerpts with attribution and a link back. For longer excerpts or republication, please email therapywithjuliag@gmail.com.
Third-party links and services.
Scheduling and the client portal are provided by SimplePractice. The site is hosted on Vercel. When you follow a link to a third-party site or service, those services have their own terms and privacy policies, which I don’t control.
Disclaimer & limitation of liability.
The site is provided “as is,” without warranty of any kind. Although I aim to keep information accurate, I make no guarantee that everything is current, complete, or error-free.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Julia Gurzi, AMFT is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site.
Governing law.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Orange County, California.
Changes to these terms.
I may update these terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
