Website Terms and Conditions

Last updated: August 31, 2026

Welcome to the Six Pines Counseling website. By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the website.

About This Website

This website is owned and operated by Six Pines Counseling, a Texas-based counseling practice offering virtual mental health services to clients located in Texas.

The information provided on this website is intended for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for individualized mental health care, diagnosis, treatment, medical advice, or emergency services.

No Therapist-Client Relationship

Visiting this website, submitting a contact form, sending an email, or requesting an appointment does not establish a therapist-client relationship with Six Pines Counseling or any therapist associated with the practice.

A therapist-client relationship is established only after:

  • A therapist has confirmed that they are able to provide services;

  • The required intake and informed-consent documents have been completed; and

  • Both the therapist and client have agreed to begin services.

Counseling services are governed by separate clinical documents, including the Informed Consent, Notice of Privacy Practices, practice policies, fee agreements, and any other applicable forms.

Not for Emergencies

This website and its contact forms are not monitored continuously and should not be used during a mental health emergency or crisis.

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you are experiencing a mental health or suicidal crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Six Pines Counseling cannot guarantee an immediate response to website submissions, emails, voicemails, or other electronic communications.

Eligibility and Location of Services

Six Pines Counseling provides telehealth services only to clients who are physically located in Texas at the time of their appointment, unless otherwise permitted by applicable licensing laws.

Information on this website may be viewed by individuals outside Texas, but viewing the website does not mean that Six Pines Counseling can provide counseling services in another state or jurisdiction.

Individuals under 18 should use this website only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian.

Scheduling and Availability

Submitting an appointment request does not guarantee that an appointment will be available or that Six Pines Counseling will be able to provide services.

Therapist availability, accepted insurance plans, fees, and services may change. Any eligibility or insurance information provided through the website is general information and is not a guarantee of coverage or payment. Clients are responsible for verifying their insurance benefits and understanding their financial responsibility.

Website Communications and Privacy

Please do not include sensitive personal, medical, or mental health information in a general website contact form or standard email.

Current clients should use the designated secure client portal for clinical communications, forms, scheduling, and other protected information whenever possible.

Information submitted through this website will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and, when applicable, our Notice of Privacy Practices. However, no method of transmitting information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
