She is not a psychiatrist or a licensed clinical psychologist. Nothing on this Site, including the blog, FAQ, or any session, constitutes a medical diagnosis, a prescription, or a substitute for assessment or treatment by a qualified psychiatrist, licensed clinical psychologist, speech therapist, occupational therapist, or special educator where one is needed.
