Important: This Is Not a Crisis or Emergency Service
Your Life Is Your Wealth™ does not provide crisis, emergency, on-call, or after-hours services and is not a crisis line or emergency responder. The website, email, telephone, scheduling tools, and social media accounts are not monitored for emergencies.
- In the United States, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
- If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
- For domestic violence support in the United States, call 1-800-799-7233.
- For sexual assault support in the United States, call 1-800-656-4673.
- If you are outside the United States, contact your local emergency number or local crisis service. If there is immediate danger, go to the nearest emergency department.
Do not use email, a website form, direct message (DM), text, or social media to request urgent help. The practice cannot respond to crisis messages sent through those channels, and response times are not guaranteed. If you believe you may harm yourself or someone else, or that someone else may be in immediate danger, contact emergency services or an appropriate crisis service now.
1. Our Services and Their Scope
Your Life Is Your Wealth™ offers more than one kind of service. The scope, purpose, and terms of a particular service depend on the service selected and any agreement provided for it.
Licensed clinical services
Individual psychotherapy is offered only when provided by a licensed clinician within that clinician’s authorized scope of practice and applicable law. Ama A. Ronke, LCSW is licensed to provide psychotherapy in Indiana and Florida, subject to the location and other requirements described below.
Clinical services may include assessment or diagnosis when clinically appropriate, within the provider’s professional competence, and as part of an established clinical relationship.
Non-clinical services
Non-clinical offerings may include life coaching, hypnotherapy or self-hypnosis education, corporate wellness training, retreats, group sessions, workshops, and digital resources. These services are not psychotherapy. They do not provide a clinical diagnosis or constitute a substitute for psychotherapy, medical care, psychiatric care, or other individualized professional care.
A provider’s clinical credentials do not turn a coaching, hypnosis, retreat, workshop, group, corporate, or educational service into psychotherapy. The applicable service agreement and description should identify the service being provided.
2. Licensure and Location of Therapy Services
Psychotherapy is available only when the client is physically located in Indiana or Florida at the time of the clinical service, and only when the provider is authorized to provide that service under applicable law. A person’s state of residence, mailing address, or usual location does not replace the requirement to confirm where the person is physically located during a session.
Professional licensure is jurisdiction-specific. A license in one state does not, by itself, authorize practice in every other state or country. People located outside Indiana and Florida may access only those coaching, educational, or other non-clinical services that the practice offers and that may lawfully be provided to them. They may not access clinical therapy through this practice unless the provider is separately authorized to do so where the person is located.
3. No Assessment or Diagnosis Through the Website or Informal Communications
The practice does not assess, evaluate, or diagnose a website visitor or prospective client through the website, social media, blog content, downloads, quizzes, email, direct messages, or other informal communications. A quiz, questionnaire, screening tool, or self-reflection exercise, if offered, is not a clinical assessment or diagnosis.
Formal clinical assessment and diagnosis, if appropriate, occur only through clinical services within an established clinical relationship, after required intake and informed-consent steps, and within the clinician’s competence and legal authority. An inquiry or exchange of messages is not a clinical assessment.
4. Services and Needs Outside Our Scope
The practice does not offer:
- Forensic evaluations or custody, court, or other legal evaluations;
- Disability, workers’ compensation, or fitness-for-duty determinations;
- Medication management or prescribing;
- Psychiatric emergency, inpatient, detoxification, or hospital services; or
- Treatment as a sole or inadequate level of care for active psychosis, acute suicidality, severe eating disorders, or other conditions requiring a different or higher level of care.
Where appropriate and permitted, the practice may recommend that a person contact another provider or service. A referral is not a guarantee that another provider is available, accepts the person, or is the right fit.
Suicide or homicide risk assessment and management are not services offered through coaching, hypnosis, retreats, workshops, group programs, corporate programs, or educational services. Those services must not be used to address an immediate or urgent safety concern. Use the emergency and crisis resources listed above.
Nothing in this notice is intended to waive a duty that applicable law or professional obligations impose on a clinician in a particular situation.
5. Hypnosis and Self-Hypnosis
Clinician-guided hypnosis may be used as a technique within or alongside care when appropriate, within the clinician’s scope, and with the client’s informed agreement. Self-hypnosis is a learnable practice. Neither hypnosis nor self-hypnosis is equivalent to psychotherapy, appropriate for every person or concern, or a substitute for medical or mental health care.
No claim is made that hypnosis or self-hypnosis will recover memories, reliably “reprogram” the subconscious, cure a condition, or produce any particular outcome. Experiences and results vary, and no specific result is guaranteed.
Hypnosis or self-hypnosis may not be appropriate for everyone. If you have a serious mental health condition, a history of psychosis or significant dissociation, a neurological or seizure-related condition, or another health concern that may affect suitability, consult a qualified treating clinician before participating or practicing. Do not use hypnosis in place of needed assessment or treatment.
6. Retreats, Workshops, Groups, and Corporate Programs
Retreats, workshops, group sessions, and corporate programs are educational, wellness-oriented, or experiential unless a specific written agreement expressly states otherwise and the service is lawfully offered as clinical care. Attendance alone does not create a clinician-client relationship or provide psychotherapy.
Group settings have limits on privacy. The practice may set expectations that participants respect one another’s privacy, but it cannot guarantee that other attendees will keep information confidential. Do not share information in a group that you are not comfortable sharing with other participants.
Participants are responsible for maintaining their own treating providers and obtaining medical or mental health advice appropriate to their needs. Inform the practice of relevant participation needs through the designated process, not through public or social media channels. Do not attend or participate while impaired by alcohol or other substances. Participants are responsible for considering relevant medical conditions, medications, accessibility needs, and personal limits before taking part.
Retreats and in-person programs may involve travel, lodging, physical activity, environmental conditions, or other ordinary and unexpected risks. Review the applicable event description, participant agreement, safety information, and any event-specific terms before registering. This notice does not replace any required event-specific consent, release, or safety documentation.
7. When a Clinical Relationship Begins
Visiting the website, subscribing to a mailing list, downloading a free resource, purchasing a digital product, attending a public workshop or retreat, or emailing or messaging the practice does not, by itself, create a clinician-client relationship.
A clinical relationship is intended to begin only after the required clinical intake and informed-consent documents have been completed and signed, the provider has accepted the person for clinical care, and the provider is authorized to provide that care where the person is physically located. The provider may decline or discontinue a proposed service when appropriate and consistent with applicable law and professional obligations.
This statement describes the practice’s intended intake process; it does not waive duties that may arise under applicable law from a particular interaction or circumstance.
8. Educational Content
Blog articles, social media posts, worksheets, downloads, recordings, quizzes, and other public or digital materials are for general educational or informational purposes. They are not individualized medical, mental health, legal, or other professional advice, and they do not create a clinician-client relationship.
Content may not reflect the most current research, law, or professional guidance. Do not make a health or treatment decision, or delay seeking care, based solely on website or social media content. Consult an appropriately qualified professional about your individual circumstances.
9. Testimonials and Outcomes
Individual experiences, testimonials, and examples reflect the circumstances of the individuals who provided them. They do not promise or predict that another person will have the same experience or result. Outcomes vary, and the practice makes no guarantee of any particular result from therapy, coaching, hypnosis, a retreat, a group, a corporate program, or a digital resource.
10. Privacy and Third-Party Services
Clinical services
For clients receiving clinical services, the practice handles protected health information in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including HIPAA where it applies. Clinical clients will be provided the practice’s Notice of Privacy Practices as required. The applicable notice and clinical consent documents govern additional details about the use and disclosure of clinical information.
Non-clinical and public-facing services
Coaching, retreats, corporate programs, public workshops, and public-facing resources are not covered by HIPAA merely because they are offered by a practice that also provides clinical services. Information associated with those services is handled under the practice’s applicable privacy policies, service agreements, and other laws that may apply. The practice does not represent that every service, record, communication, or platform is covered by HIPAA.
Scheduling, payment, email, portal, video, website, and content-delivery tools may be provided by third parties. Those providers have their own terms and privacy practices. Review those terms and policies before using their services or submitting information. Do not send sensitive clinical or emergency information through a tool or channel unless the practice has specifically designated it for that purpose.
Links to outside websites or resources are provided for convenience and do not constitute an endorsement. The practice is not responsible for the content, availability, security, or privacy practices of third-party websites or services.
11. Intended Audience and No Emergency Monitoring
This website and its materials are intended for people seeking general information about the practice’s services, prospective and current clients, retreat or workshop attendees, and organizations considering wellness or educational programs. The website is not a way to obtain immediate clinical attention, emergency assistance, or guaranteed monitoring by the practice.
Messages and forms may be reviewed during the practice’s operating hours, if applicable, but the practice does not guarantee when or whether a particular message will receive a response. Do not rely on a reply from the practice to address an urgent health, safety, or emergency concern.
12. Trademarks, Copyright, and Use of Materials
