DISCLAIMER

Please read this carefully as it outlines how the offerings of Soul y Sombra (“we”, “us”, “our”) differ from clinical therapy and how our website may (and may not) be used.

  • The educational content, courses, resources, and somatic support sessions offered through Soul y Sombra are not clinical therapy, diagnosis, or medical treatment. These offerings are designed for nervous system education, self awareness, and general well being, and are not a substitute for psychotherapy, medical care, or any licensed health service. Participation in these offerings does not create a therapist and client relationship.

    All information, guidance, and practices are for personal and educational purposes only. By choosing to engage with Soul y Sombra content or sessions, you agree that you are participating voluntarily and at your own risk. You accept full responsibility for your physical, emotional, and mental well being while using or applying any of the materials shared. Soul y Sombra is not liable for any injury, loss, or adverse outcome that may result from your participation or reliance on this information.

    If you are experiencing distress or mental health concerns, please seek care from a qualified licensed professional in your state. If you are in crisis or need immediate help, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department.

  • Soul y Sombra is an independent venture and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the Regents of the University of California, UC San Diego, UC San Diego Health, or any other UC entity.

    If you are currently receiving therapy or clinical services from me, please do not participate in Soul y Sombra offerings or purchase products. This helps protect the therapeutic relationship and avoid dual roles.

    Soul y Sombra is not clinical care, and engaging here does not create or extend a therapeutic relationship. Clinical communication must remain on HIPAA-compliant platforms (such as MyChart, secure email, or your client portal), not through Soul y Sombra’s site or social channels.

    Thank you for helping maintain clarity, safety, and respect.

  • The Good Faith Estimate is provided in compliance with the No Surprises Act to promote transparency in service costs. It is an estimate based on the information available at the time of scheduling and reflects the anticipated frequency and duration of services discussed. Actual costs may differ depending on treatment progress, frequency of sessions, or other clinical factors.

    This estimate is not a contract or guarantee of total costs. You may request an updated estimate at any time. If your actual charges exceed the estimate by more than four hundred dollars, you have the right to dispute the charges through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ patient-provider dispute resolution process.

    By receiving a Good Faith Estimate, you acknowledge that it is an informational document intended to help you understand possible costs and that final charges depend on the services actually provided.
