Submitting a website inquiry or appointment request does not guarantee an appointment, establish eligibility for services, or create a patient and provider relationship.
A patient and provider relationship is established only through the practice's applicable intake, acceptance, and care processes.
Appointment availability, treatment recommendations, and continuation of services depend on individual circumstances and professional assessment.
Additional policies regarding scheduling, cancellations, payment, and telehealth consent may be provided separately.
Our website, contact forms, email, and SMS messaging services are not emergency communication channels and should not be relied upon for immediate assistance.

Electronic communications may include email, telephone calls, secure patient portal messages, and SMS text messages where appropriate consent has been obtained.

Please do not include sensitive medical information, confidential clinical records, or urgent treatment requests in ordinary website inquiries or text messages.
Communications involving protected health information are subject to applicable healthcare privacy laws and practice policies.
Emotionally Centered Psychcare offers an optional SMS messaging program for individuals who affirmatively consent to receive text messages from the practice.

Depending on your inquiry, appointment activity, and consent preferences, messages may include:
You may opt in by providing your mobile telephone number and selecting the optional SMS consent checkbox on an applicable website form or through another documented consent process offered by the practice.
Providing a phone number alone does not automatically constitute consent to receive optional SMS messages.
Your consent to receive text messages is voluntary and is not a condition of purchasing services or receiving care.
Message frequency varies depending on your inquiries, appointment schedule, and communication needs.
Message and data rates may apply based on your mobile carrier and service plan.
You can opt out of receiving SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to a message from Emotionally Centered Psychcare.
After opting out, you may receive one final message confirming your request. You will not receive further optional messages through that messaging program unless you provide consent again.
