Terms of Use and Privacy Statement
The short version:
This site is for information only, not a substitute for therapy or professional advice. You don’t need to share any personal information just to browse, and if you do reach out, I only use it to respond to you or provide the service you’re asking for. I don’t sell or share your information. I can’t guarantee specific results from coaching, consulting, or therapy, and you’re responsible for your own choices and outcomes. The full details, including your privacy rights, are below.
Terms of Use
Please take a moment to read through these terms before using this site. By using SANEresources.org, you’re agreeing to them. I may update these terms from time to time, so it’s worth checking back occasionally. If you don’t agree with any part of these terms, please don’t continue using the site.
Scope of These Terms
These terms apply to SANEresources.org, annavalenti.com, and any other site I own or operate, including this website, my private practice services, workshops and intensives, my CSAT Supervision, and my coaching and consulting practice at MyCoachAnnaV. This site is intended for use within the United States.
By using this website, and any other site I own or operate, reaching out to me through email or telephone, or purchasing or engaging in any program, product or services I offer, you’re agreeing to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site or engage in these services.
Purpose
Everything on this website, and across my services and social media, is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It’s meant to be general, supportive information, not a substitute for professional advice specific to your own situation.
Coaching, Psychoeducation, Consulting vs. Therapy
Coaching, psychoeducation and consulting, including Psychoeducational Intensives, are not psychotherapy. Psychotherapy uses methods to address mental health issues, where you’ll explore and process how your thoughts, emotions and behaviors impact you. Coaching and consulting focuses primarily on more specific envisioning goals — individually or an organization — in the present and future (perhaps basic problem-solving of simply one specific situation). Psychoeducation or Psychoeducational Intensives provide basic information and general skills so content is generally the same regardless of who’s in the room (how a condition works, coping strategies, communication tools), rather than diagnosing or treating an individual’s specific pathology (please note that for Couples Counseling I do not provide a diagnosis and couples will receive no reimbursement if attempting to submit a claim to their insurance provider).
Documents
If you download or purchase documents through this site, I retain full ownership of them. Downloads are at your own risk, for personal, non-commercial use only, and copyright or proprietary notices must stay intact. I make no guarantees about the accuracy or availability of these documents and am not responsible for any issues that come from downloading them.
Age
This site is intended for people 18 years and older. By using it, you’re confirming that you’re at least 18 years of age.
Links to Third-Party Websites
This site sometimes links out to other websites I don’t control, such as recovery resources or directions through Google Maps. I’m not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices, so please look into those sites on your own. I do my best to keep the information here accurate and current, although I don’t guarantee it, especially as research and best practices evolve over time.
Personal Responsibility
By using this site or engaging with my services, you’re taking responsibility for your own choices, actions, and outcomes, including your health, your relationships, and your well-being; and that of your family where it applies.
Guarantees
If we work together, my role is to support, encourage and challenge you in reaching your goals. I don’t guarantee a particular outcome because every client is unique with diverse situations. Results are different for everyone, depending on a whole lot of various factors, including your own motivation and follow-through. What’s your “Want – Willing – Able”?
Limitation of Liability
I am not liable for any damages, direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential, related to your use of this site or its content, services, or programs, even if I’ve been made aware they could happen. This also applies to my staff, affiliates, and anyone else involved in providing these services, whether we’re talking about a business interruption, a technical glitch, or anything else, in any format or location, in-person, by phone, virtual, or online, including individual and group programs, workshops, intensives, and trainings.
Indemnity
If a claim, cost, or legal expense (including attorneys’ fees) comes up because of how you’ve used this site, its content or services, or because you’ve violated the law, you agree to cover me, my staff, any volunteer, and anyone affiliated with SANE Resources, Anna Valenti or Anna Valenti-Anderson, for those costs.
Privacy Statement
How information you share with me through SANEresources.org is handled:
1. Information Collection and Use
If you reach out by email or phone to ask a question or schedule an Initial Introductory Meet-and-Greet, I’ll only use what you share to respond to you or provide the service you’re asking for. When I return your phone call I will use your name or name you left on my voicemail. I don’t sell, share, or trade your information. This site doesn’t have a mailing list, does not collect payment information, or use any outside scheduling or e-commerce platform.
2. Links to Third-Party Websites
This site sometimes links to outside resources, like Google Maps for directions to my office. I’m not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, so check their policies directly.
3. Security
I take reasonable steps to protect any information you share with me; however, no method of sending information electronically over the internet, including texts or email, or storing it electronically, is completely secure, so I can’t guarantee it one hundred percent.
4. Cookies and Analytics
This site doesn’t currently use cookies or analytics tools to track visitors or collect personally identifiable information.
5. Collection and Use of Personal Information of Children Under Age 13
This site does not collect personal information from children under 13 years of age, in line with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
6. Transfer of Data Abroad
If you’re visiting this site from outside the United States, keep in mind that any information you share with me may be transferred across international borders. By using the site and contacting me electronically, you’re agreeing to that.
7. Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement
I’ll cooperate with law enforcement and government officials when necessary, and I may share information about you if I believe in good faith it’s required to comply with the law, respond to legal process, protect my rights or someone else’s, or protect anyone’s safety.
8. Changes to Terms of Use and Privacy Statement
I may periodically update the Terms of Use and Privacy Statement and post it here, so check back here from time to time. If you have any questions about this Terms of Use and Privacy Statement, or my practices, we can discuss this when we speak over the phone or at our Initial Introductory Meet-and-Greet.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by Arizona law. Any legal action related to these terms will be handled in Arizona courts, and by using this site, you agree to that jurisdiction.
Injunctive Relief
If you break these terms in a way that causes harm that’s difficult to undo or put a dollar value on, I have the right to ask a court for an injunction or other equitable relief to stop it, in addition to any other legal options available to me.
Miscellaneous
If any part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still stands, and that part will be read in a way that reflects its original intent as closely as possible under the law. These terms are the entire agreement between us about this site, and can only be changed by me updating this page or through a signed written agreement.
By using this site, you’re agreeing to everything above.
