I do not offer any type of psychological services online or in real life, for a fee or otherwise. Nor have I ever held out in any way, shape or form that anything I do is other than as a free community service to the world in an effort to share my knowledge. My dedication of this Web page is clear as to why I do what I do -- to provide a source of reliable mental health information and educational resources.

If you attend any of my mental health chats, and ask a question or advice of me, I am responding as a caring and concerned individual. You should take everything I say with a grain of salt; I do not know you personally, nor your unique background, therefore I may be missing an important part of the picture. I am not liable for any advice I may give, or any observation I may make. You are the ultimate and final arbiter of the information you receive and should act accordingly. Always consult your own doctor or therapist before making any decisions about your treatment or therapy. I provide all the information on my Websites and in my mental health chats "as is," and make no warranties on the information, either expressed or implied.

By reading this and/or by your participation in my mental health chats and/or browsing through my Web pages, you have agreed to this disclaimer, as well as the site's terms and conditions of use. If you do not agree to this disclaimer or the terms and conditions of use, please do not attend any of my mental health chats and refrain from visiting my Web pages in the future.

Thank you,
John M. Grohol, Psy.D.
