Welcome to Hard Feelings. Shift Happens.

This page explains important information about using this website, protecting your privacy, understanding the limits of online information, and your rights when seeking mental health services.

We believe you deserve clear information about your care, your privacy, and what to expect. Legal language isn't always the easiest thing to read, so we've organized these policies to make them as accessible as possible.

Please review this page carefully before using the website.

1. Terms of Use

1.1 Acceptance of Terms

This website is operated by [insert full legal business name], doing business as Hard Feelings. Shift Happens. (“Practice,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use and the policies described on this page, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the website.

These Terms govern website use. They do not replace any separate agreement, informed consent, or professional obligations associated with receiving mental health services.

1.2 Website Purpose

This website provides general information about mental health services, EMDR therapy, trauma treatment, telehealth, professional consultation, and related educational topics.

The content is intended to help visitors understand available services and make informed decisions about seeking care.

Information presented here is not a substitute for individualized mental health assessment, diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice.

1.3 No Therapist-Client Relationship

Visiting this website, reading its content, submitting an inquiry, completing a consultation request, or communicating with the Practice does not automatically establish a therapist-client relationship.

A professional treatment relationship is established only after appropriate screening, acceptance into care, completion of required documentation, and mutual agreement to begin services.

The Practice reserves the right to determine whether services are clinically appropriate, consistent with professional obligations and applicable nondiscrimination laws.

1.4 Permitted Website Use

You agree to use this website lawfully and respectfully.

You may not attempt to interfere with website security, gain unauthorized access to systems, introduce malicious code, impersonate another person, or reproduce protected content without permission.

We may restrict access to the website when reasonably necessary to protect its security and operation.

1.5 Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate, current information.

However, services, availability, fees, scheduling arrangements, and policies may change.

Website descriptions are informational and do not guarantee eligibility for services, appointment availability, a particular treatment approach, or specific clinical outcomes.

2. Professional and Mental Health Disclaimer

2.1 Educational Information Only

Content on this website is provided for general educational and informational purposes.

Descriptions of anxiety, trauma, PTSD, phobias, relationship difficulties, and other mental health concerns should not be interpreted as individualized diagnoses.

Experiencing symptoms described on this website does not necessarily mean you meet criteria for a particular mental health condition.

A qualified professional must conduct an appropriate assessment before making clinical recommendations.

2.2 EMDR Therapy Disclaimer

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured psychotherapy approach used to address distressing experiences and certain mental health concerns.

EMDR has established research support for PTSD. Its effectiveness and appropriateness for other concerns vary depending on the condition, individual circumstances, and available evidence.

EMDR is not appropriate for every person or every clinical presentation.

Treatment may involve assessment, preparation, stabilization, memory processing, and ongoing evaluation.

No particular result, symptom reduction, treatment duration, or outcome is guaranteed.

2.3 EMDR Intensives and Extended Sessions

Extended therapy sessions and EMDR intensives may not be clinically appropriate for every individual.

Participation is subject to assessment, professional judgment, scheduling availability, and informed consent.

Longer sessions do not guarantee faster recovery, complete resolution of trauma symptoms, or a specific therapeutic outcome.

Any applicable fees, scheduling policies, and treatment expectations will be provided separately before services begin.

2.4 No Guarantee of Results

Mental health treatment is individualized.

Progress may depend on numerous factors, including treatment goals, clinical history, readiness, therapeutic fit, and circumstances outside the Practice's control.

Testimonials, examples, educational materials, or descriptions of potential benefits should not be interpreted as guarantees of similar results.

2.5 Other Health Professionals

This website does not replace medical evaluation, psychiatric care, emergency services, or consultation with other appropriately licensed professionals.

Do not discontinue prescribed medication or alter an existing treatment plan solely because of information on this website.

3. Crisis and Emergency Disclaimer

This website is not monitored for emergencies.

Hard Feelings. Shift Happens. is not an emergency response service, crisis hotline, or 24-hour mental health provider.

Do not use website forms, email, consultation requests, or social media messages to communicate urgent safety concerns.

If you or someone else is experiencing an immediate medical or psychiatric emergency:

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
Call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the United States.
If you are experiencing threats, violence, or abuse, contact emergency services when safe to do so.

For domestic violence support, you may contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-SAFE (7233) or visit thehotline.org.

For current clients, any crisis procedures established in your informed consent or treatment agreement should also be followed.

Sending a message to the Practice does not guarantee an immediate response.

4. Telehealth Services and New Jersey Practice

4.1 Geographic Eligibility

The Practice offers virtual mental health services to eligible adults physically located in New Jersey, subject to applicable licensing requirements and clinical appropriateness.

A therapist's ability to provide services depends on professional authorization in the jurisdiction where the client is physically located at the time of the appointment.

Clients must disclose their physical location accurately and notify the Practice of any changes that could affect eligibility for telehealth services.

4.2 Telehealth Limitations

Telehealth can provide convenient access to mental health care, but it also involves limitations and potential risks.

These may include technological interruptions, internet connectivity problems, privacy concerns, limitations in clinical observation, and challenges responding to emergencies remotely.

Telehealth may not be appropriate for every clinical concern or level of risk.

The Practice may recommend in-person services, additional support, referral, or a different level of care when clinically indicated.

4.3 Privacy During Virtual Sessions

Clients are encouraged to attend telehealth sessions from a private, reasonably quiet location where conversations cannot easily be overheard.

Public places, shared spaces, and unsecured networks may create additional privacy risks.

Clients should use the communication platform designated by the Practice and follow applicable telehealth instructions.

4.4 Emergency Planning

As part of telehealth care, the Practice may request the client's current physical location, emergency contact information, and information about appropriate local emergency resources.

This information supports clinical safety planning and emergency response when necessary.

4.5 Recording Sessions

Therapy sessions must not be recorded without the knowledge and appropriate consent of the parties involved, consistent with applicable law and professional requirements.

Any recording arrangements must be addressed separately through informed consent.

5. Website Privacy Policy

5.1 Information We May Collect

When you use this website, information collected may include:

Information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, and information submitted through contact or consultation forms.

Technical information, which may include IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, approximate location derived from technical data, and website usage activity.

Communication information, including correspondence submitted through website-supported communication channels.

The actual information collected depends on the website's enabled forms, hosting services, analytics tools, and third-party integrations.

Information collected through this website may be used to:

Respond to inquiries and consultation requests.
Provide information about available services.
Maintain website security and functionality.
Troubleshoot technical issues.
Understand general website usage.
Comply with applicable legal obligations.
Support administrative operations associated with legitimate Practice activities.

We do not use information submitted through website inquiries as a substitute for formal clinical assessment.

5.3 Website Forms and Sensitive Information

Please avoid submitting detailed mental health histories, trauma narratives, diagnoses, medication information, Social Security numbers, or other highly sensitive information through general website contact forms.

A general website form should not be assumed to be a secure clinical communication system.

If you become a client, the Practice will provide instructions for completing intake documents and communicating through approved channels.

5.4 Email and Electronic Communications

Standard email and other ordinary electronic communication methods may involve privacy and security risks.

Although reasonable precautions may be used, no internet-based communication method can be guaranteed completely secure.

Please do not use ordinary email or website forms to communicate emergencies.

Clinical communications and records are governed by applicable privacy laws, professional requirements, and the Practice's separate patient privacy documentation.

5.5 Cookies and Website Analytics

This website may use cookies or similar technologies necessary for website functionality, security, and permitted analytics.

Depending on the website's configuration, third-party services may collect information about website interactions.

Where legally required, visitors will be provided with appropriate notice and choices regarding nonessential cookies or tracking technologies.

Browser settings may allow visitors to restrict certain cookies, although doing so could affect website functionality.

5.6 Third-Party Service Providers

The Practice may use third-party providers for website hosting, forms, scheduling, secure communications, administrative operations, or payment processing.

These providers operate under their own applicable terms and privacy obligations.

Where required, the Practice will implement appropriate contractual and security protections for vendors that handle protected health information.

5.7 Disclosure of Information

Website information may be disclosed to service providers supporting legitimate website operations, when required by law, or when otherwise permitted under applicable privacy requirements.

We do not authorize the unrestricted disclosure of confidential clinical information through this website.

5.8 Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational precautions appropriate to the information and systems involved.

However, no website, electronic storage system, or internet transmission is completely free from risk.

Visitors should exercise care when sharing personal information online.

5.9 Data Retention

Website information is retained only as reasonably necessary for legitimate business, administrative, security, or legal purposes, subject to applicable requirements.

Clinical records are governed by separate professional recordkeeping and retention obligations.

5.10 Children's Privacy

This website is intended primarily for adults seeking information about professional mental health services.

It is not designed to knowingly solicit personal information directly from children under 13.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information through the website without appropriate authorization, please contact the Practice.

5.11 Privacy Requests

You may contact the Practice to inquire about website information collected about you or to request correction or deletion where applicable law provides such rights.

Certain information may need to be retained to comply with legal, security, or professional obligations.

6. HIPAA and Protected Health Information

6.1 Clinical Privacy

When applicable, protected health information maintained by the Practice is governed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), its implementing regulations, and other relevant federal and New Jersey laws.

Clinical information may be subject to stronger privacy protections than ordinary website usage data.

6.2 Notice of Privacy Practices

Patients are entitled to receive an applicable Notice of Privacy Practices describing how protected health information may be used and disclosed and explaining their rights.

The Practice's separate HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices is available at:

[Insert link to the Practice's complete Notice of Privacy Practices]

The Notice of Privacy Practices, rather than this general website policy, provides the authoritative description of the Practice's HIPAA obligations and patient rights.

6.3 Patient Privacy Rights

Depending on applicable law and the circumstances, patients may have rights to request access to their health information, obtain copies of records, request corrections, request certain restrictions, request confidential communications, receive an accounting of certain disclosures, and submit privacy complaints.

Some information, including psychotherapy notes as specifically defined under HIPAA, may be subject to different access and disclosure rules.

For details, consult the Practice's Notice of Privacy Practices.

6.4 Confidentiality Exceptions

Mental health confidentiality is important, but it is not absolute.

Applicable laws and professional duties may permit or require disclosure in circumstances involving serious safety concerns, suspected abuse or neglect, valid legal processes, and other legally recognized exceptions.

The specific limits of confidentiality will be explained through the Practice's informed consent and privacy documentation.

6.5 Substance Use Disorder Records

Certain substance use disorder treatment records may be subject to additional federal protections, including 42 CFR Part 2, when applicable.

The Practice will follow relevant confidentiality requirements based on its legal status, services, and records.

7. Good Faith Estimate and No Surprises Act

Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate

Under the federal No Surprises Act, individuals who do not have health insurance or who choose not to use their insurance to pay for health care services generally have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges.

A Good Faith Estimate helps you understand the anticipated cost of non-emergency health care services before receiving them.

7.1 Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible for a Good Faith Estimate if:

You do not have health insurance.
You have insurance but choose not to use it for the services.
You are otherwise considered an uninsured or self-pay individual under applicable federal requirements.

7.2 When Will You Receive an Estimate?

If you schedule services at least 3 business days in advance, you generally must receive a Good Faith Estimate within 1 business day after scheduling.

If you schedule services at least 10 business days in advance, you generally must receive the estimate within 3 business days after scheduling.

You may also request a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling services. Generally, it must be provided within 3 business days after your request.

7.3 What Will the Estimate Include?

Your individualized Good Faith Estimate will include applicable information about expected services and charges.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include the anticipated session fees, expected frequency or duration of services, applicable service codes, and other information required by federal law.

A Good Faith Estimate is not a bill, a guarantee of total treatment costs, or a requirement that you receive services.

Actual costs may change if treatment needs, service frequency, or other circumstances change.

7.4 Your Right to Dispute Certain Bills

If you receive a bill from a provider that is at least $400 more than that provider's Good Faith Estimate, you may be eligible to use the federal patient-provider dispute resolution process.

Generally, you must begin the dispute process within 120 calendar days after receiving the initial bill.

For more information about your rights or the dispute process, visit:

https://www.cms.gov/medical-bill-rights

You may also contact the federal No Surprises Help Desk at 1-800-985-3059.

7.5 Requesting Your Estimate

If you are uninsured or self-pay, you may request a written Good Faith Estimate before beginning treatment or at any time permitted by law.

Contact: [Insert Practice administrative email or secure contact method]

The Practice will provide estimates in accordance with applicable federal requirements.

7.6 Fees and Financial Policies

Actual session fees, intensive fees, payment arrangements, cancellation policies, and other financial responsibilities will be explained through the Practice's current fee schedule and financial agreement.

Nothing in this website policy replaces an individualized Good Faith Estimate or the financial agreement provided before treatment.

8. Scheduling, Fees, and Cancellations

8.1 Appointment Availability

Submission of a consultation request does not guarantee appointment availability or acceptance into treatment.

The Practice may recommend referrals or alternative services if clinical needs fall outside its scope, capacity, or availability.

8.2 Payment Responsibilities

Clients are responsible for fees and payment arrangements disclosed and agreed to before services begin, subject to applicable law.

Insurance coverage, reimbursement eligibility, and out-of-network benefits may vary.

Any insurance-related information provided on the website is general and should be verified directly with the relevant insurer.

8.3 Cancellation and Missed Appointments

Cancellation requirements and any applicable late-cancellation or missed-appointment fees are governed by the Practice's separately provided financial agreement.

No specific cancellation fee is established by this website policy.

8.4 Refunds and Prepaid Services

Refund eligibility for prepaid services, intensives, or other professional offerings is governed by the applicable written service agreement and relevant law.

Any nonrefundable fee or cancellation condition must be disclosed appropriately before payment.

9. Professional Consultation and Therapist Resources

9.1 Consultation Services

The Practice may offer EMDR consultation, adjunctive services, and educational resources for mental health professionals.

Professional consultation is not a substitute for independent clinical judgment, licensure requirements, or supervision where supervision is legally required.

Participants remain responsible for complying with applicable professional standards, ethical obligations, and licensing requirements.

9.2 Client Confidentiality in Consultation

Professionals seeking consultation must protect the confidentiality of their clients and share only information that may lawfully and ethically be disclosed.

De-identification alone may not eliminate all privacy risks.

Any consultation involving protected health information must comply with applicable law and professional requirements.

9.3 Training and Credentialing

Participation in consultation or educational services does not automatically guarantee EMDR certification, professional credentialing, continuing education credit, or eligibility for any particular designation.

Any applicable credentialing requirements are determined by the relevant credentialing organization.

9.4 Therapist Resources

Resources provided through this website are intended for professional education and general reference.

They should not be treated as a substitute for individualized clinical assessment, current research, legal advice, or professional supervision.

10. Intellectual Property and Copyright

Unless otherwise indicated, original website content, including written materials, graphics, logos, branding, and original design elements, is owned by or licensed to the Practice.

Certain website components may be licensed from third-party creators or design professionals.

You may access and view website materials for personal, noncommercial informational purposes.

You may not reproduce, redistribute, sell, republish, or commercially exploit protected materials without appropriate permission, except as allowed by applicable law.

References to third-party products, publications, clinical methods, or organizations remain subject to the rights of their respective owners.

DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT (DMCA) NOTICE

Hard Feelings. Shift Happens. respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects visitors and users of this website to do the same.

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, we will review properly submitted notices alleging copyright infringement involving content hosted on or accessible through this website.

1. Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you believe that material appearing on this website infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to enforce, you may submit a written notification to our designated copyright agent.

To comply with the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notification should include:

Your physical or electronic signature, or that of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple copyrighted works are involved.
Identification of the allegedly infringing material, including the specific URL or other information reasonably sufficient to locate it.
Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement that the information in your notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.

Incomplete notices may not satisfy the statutory requirements for a valid DMCA notification.

2. Designated Copyright Agent

DMCA notices should be directed to:

Hard Feelings. Shift Happens.
Attn: Designated Copyright Agent
[Legal Business Name]
[Business Mailing Address]
[DMCA Contact Email]
[Telephone Number]

Important: To claim the applicable DMCA safe-harbor protections, an eligible online service provider generally must designate an agent with the U.S. Copyright Office and make the required contact information publicly available. Merely listing a contact address on this page does not complete that registration.

The designated agent information should be finalized before this notice is published.

3. Response to Copyright Complaints

Upon receipt of a valid copyright infringement notification, we may:

Review the identified material and the allegations presented.
Remove or disable access to material alleged to be infringing when appropriate.
Notify the person responsible for posting the material, where applicable.
Provide information about the counter-notification process.
Take additional action as required or permitted by applicable law.

Submitting a DMCA notice does not automatically establish that copyright infringement has occurred.

4. Counter-Notification Procedure

If material you submitted to this website has been removed or disabled as a result of a DMCA notification, and you believe that removal resulted from a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification.

To satisfy 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), the counter-notification must include:

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal.
A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of a mistake or misidentification.
Your name, address, and telephone number.
A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate Federal District Court—generally the district where your address is located, or, if your address is outside the United States, a judicial district in which the service provider may be found—and that you will accept service of process from the original complaining party or that party's agent.

Counter-notifications should be submitted to the designated copyright agent identified above.

5. Restoration of Removed Material

When applicable, we may forward a valid counter-notification to the party who submitted the original infringement notice.

Under the DMCA's statutory counter-notification procedure, material may generally be restored no fewer than 10 and no more than 14 business days after receipt of a valid counter-notification, unless the designated agent receives notice that the complaining party has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

This process applies where the relevant statutory conditions are satisfied.

6. Repeat Infringement Policy

Where applicable, Hard Feelings. Shift Happens. maintains a policy providing for termination, in appropriate circumstances, of users or account holders who repeatedly infringe copyrights.

We reserve the right to restrict access to website features, remove submitted material, or terminate applicable user privileges when legally appropriate.

7. Misrepresentations and False Claims

Knowingly submitting materially false claims of copyright infringement or materially false counter-notifications may result in legal liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), including potential damages, costs, and attorneys' fees.

Individuals submitting notices or counter-notifications should ensure that their statements are accurate and made in good faith.

8. Copyright Ownership and Permitted Use

Unless otherwise indicated, original website content, including written materials, branding, graphics, design elements, and other original creative works, is owned by Hard Feelings. Shift Happens. or used with appropriate authorization.

Certain photographs, fonts, illustrations, website components, and other materials may be licensed from third parties and remain subject to their respective intellectual property rights.

Website visitors may view and use publicly available content for lawful, personal, noncommercial informational purposes, subject to applicable copyright law and any relevant licensing restrictions.

Nothing in this notice limits rights available under copyright law, including fair use.

9. Changes to This DMCA Notice

We reserve the right to update this DMCA Notice to reflect changes in applicable law, website functionality, or our copyright compliance procedures.

Changes will become effective when posted unless otherwise stated.
