1. Important Disclaimer – Please Read Carefully

This Medical Disclaimer (“Disclaimer”) outlines the limitations of the services provided by TherapyNeed (“we,” “us,” or “our”), operated by Tourpraha s.r.o., through our website therapyneed.com (the “Platform”).

TherapyNeed is an online directory and connecting service, not a healthcare provider, medical facility, or emergency service. The information provided on this Platform is for general informational purposes only and is intended solely to help users find and connect with independent mental health professionals.

By using our Platform, you acknowledge and agree to this Disclaimer. This Disclaimer forms an integral part of our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

2. Not Medical Advice or Professional Services

  • No Doctor-Patient Relationship: TherapyNeed does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or psychotherapy. Your use of this Platform does not create a doctor-patient, therapist-client, or other healthcare professional relationship between you and TherapyNeed.
  • Informational Purpose Only: All content, including therapist profiles, articles, and general information on the Platform, is for general informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical, psychological, or psychiatric advice, diagnosis, or treatment from a qualified and licensed healthcare provider.
  • Independent Therapists: Therapists listed on our Platform are independent practitioners. TherapyNeed does not employ, supervise, endorse, or guarantee the quality of care provided by any Therapist. Any therapeutic services, advice, or treatment you receive are provided directly by the Therapist, and any professional relationship formed is solely between you and the chosen Therapist.

3. Not for Emergencies or Crisis Intervention

DO NOT USE THIS PLATFORM FOR MEDICAL EMERGENCIES, MENTAL HEALTH EMERGENCIES, OR CRISIS INTERVENTION.

If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, or if you are considering self-harm or harming others, please immediately:

  • Call your local emergency number (e.g., 112 in the European Union, 911 in the United States, or your country’s equivalent).
  • Go to the nearest emergency room or hospital.
  • Contact a national suicide prevention lifeline or crisis hotline. Examples include:
    • In the European Union: Each country has specific numbers. Please search for “crisis hotline [your country]” or “suicide prevention [your country]”.
    • International: Befrienders Worldwide (https://www.befrienders.org/) provides contact information for helplines across the globe.
  • Reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or mental health professional you already know.

TherapyNeed’s platform and communication tools are not monitored for emergency situations and cannot provide immediate assistance in a crisis.

4. Your Responsibility

  • Due Diligence: It is solely your responsibility to thoroughly research, vet, and verify the qualifications, licenses, and specializations of any Therapist you choose to contact or engage with through our Platform.
  • Professional Judgment: You are responsible for ensuring that any advice, diagnosis, or treatment you seek from a Therapist is appropriate for your specific needs and circumstances.
  • No Guarantee of Outcome: We do not guarantee any specific results from engaging with a Therapist found through our Platform. The effectiveness of therapy varies for each individual.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, TherapyNeed, its directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with:
