These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of philhartwickcounseling.com (the “Website”), operated by Phil Hartwick Counseling (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.
1. Information only, not counseling or medical advice
Content on the Website, including blog articles, is for general information and education. It is not a substitute for professional counseling, diagnosis, or treatment. Do not delay seeking help, or disregard professional advice, because of something you read here.
2. No counselor-client relationship
Using the Website, submitting a form, calling, texting, or emailing us does not create a counselor-client relationship. That relationship begins only after you have completed intake paperwork and both you and Phil have agreed to begin services.
3. Emergencies
This practice does not provide emergency or crisis services. If you or someone else is in danger or in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, 24/7) or call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room.
4. Online counseling (telehealth)
Online sessions are available only to clients who are physically located in a state where Phil is licensed to practice at the time of each session, currently Colorado, Arizona, Oregon, Florida, Washington, and Virginia. Telehealth has limits, and Phil will discuss whether it is a good fit for you.
5. Consultations, scheduling, and fees
The free phone consultation is a short call to see whether working together is a good fit. It is not a counseling session. Session fees, insurance and superbill options, and cancellation policies are provided in writing before your first session and are governed by your intake agreement.
6. Communication by email and text
Email and text messages are not fully secure. By choosing to contact us this way, you accept that risk. Please keep messages limited to scheduling and general questions. Text messaging is also covered by Section 6 of our Privacy Policy, including how to opt out by replying STOP.
7. Reviews and testimonials
Any reviews or testimonials on the Website reflect individual experiences. They are not a guarantee or prediction of results. Every person’s experience in counseling is different.
8. Intellectual property
The Website’s content, including text, graphics, logos, and photos, belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by copyright and trademark law. You may view and share pages for personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, modify, or republish content without our written permission.
9. Acceptable use
You agree not to use the Website to:
- Submit false information or impersonate another person

- Interfere with the Website’s security or operation, or attempt to access it in unauthorized ways
10. Third-party links and services
The Website may link to or use third-party services, such as maps, review sites, scheduling tools, and crisis resources. We don’t control those services and are not responsible for their content, policies, or availability.
11. Disclaimer of warranties
The Website is provided “as is” and “as available.” We try to keep it accurate and available, but we make no warranties that it will be error-free, uninterrupted, or current.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Website or its content. This does not limit any rights you have as a client under your intake agreement or applicable law.
13. Privacy
Your use of the Website is also governed by our Privacy Policy.
14. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado. Any dispute related to the Website will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Denver, Colorado.
