Using this website or contacting FaithHavens does not create a physician–patient, therapist–client, or other professional relationship.

Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified health professional with any questions about a medical or mental health condition. Never disregard professional advice, stop or change prescribed medication, or delay seeking care because of something you read on this website.

Not for emergencies

No professional relationship

Using this website, submitting an inquiry, or communicating with FaithHavens through it does not create a physician–patient, therapist–client, counselor–client, pastoral, or any other professional relationship, and does not create a duty of confidentiality beyond that described in our Privacy Policy.
