1. Purpose of the Website
This Website is provided for informational, educational, and administrative purposes, including learning about THGCCS, contacting our office, requesting information, and initiating inquiry into services.
2. No Clinical Relationship Created by Website Use
Use of this Website does not establish a counselor-client, therapist-client, or other professional relationship between you and THGCCS.
A professional counseling relationship is established only after appropriate intake procedures have been completed, THGCCS has determined that services are appropriate, required consents and agreements have been signed, and you have been formally accepted as a client.
Submitting a form, sending an email, or requesting an appointment through the Website does not guarantee that a professional relationship has been created.
3. No Emergency Use

If you are experiencing an emergency, call 911, go to the nearest emergency room, or call or text 988 for immediate crisis support.
4. Informational Content Only
All content provided on this Website is for general informational purposes only. Nothing on this Website should be interpreted as medical advice, mental health advice, psychiatric advice, legal advice, crisis intervention, diagnosis, or treatment.
