Educational content only.
Everything on this website, essays, guides, course materials, podcasts, videos, and social posts, is published for general educational purposes. It is not, and is not intended to be, the practice of social work, psychotherapy, counseling, medicine, or any other licensed clinical service. Nothing here should be used as a substitute for evaluation and care from a qualified licensed professional who knows you and your situation.
No clinician–client relationship.
Reading this site, subscribing to the newsletter, downloading a guide, purchasing a course, or sending a message through the contact form does not create a clinician–client, therapist–patient, social worker–client, or any other professional treatment relationship between you and Pamela Garfield-Jaeger, LCSW. A paid private consultation, booked separately, is an educational and consultative service, not psychotherapy and not ongoing clinical care.
Not HIPAA-covered.
This website and the services described on it are not a covered entity under HIPAA. Please do not send protected health information through the contact form, by email, or through course or community platforms. Any information you choose to share is shared at your own risk.
Not a crisis service.
We cannot respond to mental-health emergencies. If it is an emergency in the USA, dial 911. Outside the United States, please use the emergency number for your country.
Individual results are individual.
Clinical examples discussed on this site, in books, in essays, and in talks are either fictional composites or shared with the explicit consent of the people involved and with identifying details changed. Anything described as having worked for one person, family, or clinician is not a promise that the same approach will work for you.
Licensure and jurisdiction.
Pamela Garfield-Jaeger, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker in the state where she is licensed to practice. Public-facing educational content is offered to a general audience and is not the practice of social work in any other jurisdiction.
External links and third parties.
