Community Guidelines
Serenity Now Counseling, LLC (SNC) is dedicated to providing an informational, safe, and supportive space online for individuals seeking general mental health information and access to therapeutic services.
In an effort to create a positive and safe environment, we have developed community guidelines to use when engaging and interacting with our website, social media platforms, and when connecting with our clinicians and team of administrators to schedule future services:
SNC content does not replace professional advice
SNC content, shared on our website and social media pages, is informational in nature only. SNC content is not intended to replace recommendations or treatment plans developed for you by your individual care team and should never be considered a substitute for professional care.
SNC public content is not diagnostic
SNC content is not meant to provide a diagnosis or treatment recommendation for any specific mental health condition. If you have concerns about your mental health we encourage you to consult with a qualified healthcare professional who can assess your unique situation and provide appropriate individualized care.
SNC maintains client confidentiality
SNC will not share or discuss personal patient care items on social media as this is a violation of health privacy laws. If you are looking to discuss elements of your care, please contact SNC or your health care team directly.
SNC encourages you to keep it private & confidential when interacting online
Do not share personal or sensitive information about yourself or others. Do not share patient health information (PHI) with us, on our public platforms, or with anyone outside of your direct care team.
Engage responsibly: Be kind, considerate, and respectful
Express opinions respectfully, thoughtfully, and with consideration. Mental health is a unique experience for everyone. What is considered typical for one person may not be the same for another. Treat others the way you want to be treated.
You are responsible for what you share
You are responsible for the content/information you share and post. SNC is not responsible for anything that may occur as a result of you sharing general and/or personal content. Do not share copyrighted material or content without permission.

Furthermore, if you are in repeat violation of these guidelines, SNC reserves the right to block, ban, or remove you from all SNC digital community spaces.
