Hope in Serenity LLC is a holistic wellness practice offering non-clinical services intended to support mindfulness, self-exploration, stress reduction, relaxation, and overall well-being. Services may include meditation, mindfulness practices, energy-based wellness services, yoga-informed practices, and other holistic approaches. These services are not psychotherapy, counseling, medical treatment, or any form of licensed mental health care and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical or mental health condition.

Although I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of New Jersey, services provided through Hope in Serenity are separate from my psychotherapy services and are offered solely in a non-clinical wellness capacity. Participation in these offerings does not establish a therapist-client relationship, does not create a duty of care as defined under mental health treatment regulations, and should not be considered a substitute for professional medical, psychiatric, or psychological care.

By participating in any service, you acknowledge that you are voluntarily engaging in wellness-based services and accept full responsibility for your physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. Results from holistic wellness practices may vary from person to person. Hope in Serenity and its practitioners disclaim liability for decisions, actions, or outcomes resulting from participation in these services to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.

If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, call 911, go to your nearest emergency department, or contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988 within the United States.
