Terms & Conditions

Last updated: November 6, 2026

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms & Conditions govern your use of yourowngrounds.org (the “website”), operated by Your Own Grounds PLLC, doing business as Your Own Grounds Psychiatric Care (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By using the website, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

2. Educational information only, not medical advice

Content on this website, including service and condition pages, articles, and FAQs, is for general educational purposes. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for an evaluation by a qualified clinician. Never disregard professional advice or delay seeking care because of something you read here. Do not start, stop, or change any medication without talking with your prescriber.

3. No provider–patient relationship

Using this website, emailing the practice, or leaving a message does not create a provider–patient relationship. A provider–patient relationship begins only after you complete our intake process and a clinician agrees to provide your care. We may refer you elsewhere when another level or type of care would better meet your needs.

4. Telehealth services

• Telepsychiatry is available only to eligible patients who are physically located in Texas at the time of each appointment.
• Telehealth is not appropriate for every situation. Some needs require in-person, urgent, or higher levels of care.
• You are responsible for joining from a private location and for a device and internet connection that support video visits.
• Technology problems can interrupt a visit. If a visit cannot be completed, we will work with you to reschedule.

5. Medications and treatment

Treatment recommendations, including whether to prescribe a medication, are made only after an evaluation and are based on clinical judgment, your safety, and applicable law. Visiting the website or scheduling an appointment does not guarantee that any particular treatment or medication will be recommended or prescribed. Results of treatment vary from person to person, and no specific outcome is guaranteed.

6. Communications

Our practice email is for scheduling and non-urgent questions and may not be answered right away. Do not use email or social media for emergencies. Please avoid sending sensitive health information through unsecured channels.

7. Appointments, fees, and policies

Appointment scheduling, cancellations, fees, insurance, and payment are governed by the patient agreements and financial policies we provide when you begin care. Information about insurance and your right to a Good Faith Estimate is on our Insurance & Fees page.

8. Accuracy of information

We work to keep the website accurate and up to date, but information may change and may contain errors. Crisis lines and other outside resources are provided for convenience; please confirm details with each organization.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the website for any unlawful purpose
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website, its servers, or any connected system
• Interfere with the website’s operation, for example with malware or excessive automated requests
• Copy, republish, or sell website content except as these terms allow

10. Intellectual property

The website’s text, logo, design, and images are owned by Your Own Grounds PLLC or its licensors and are protected by copyright and trademark law. You may view and print pages for personal, non-commercial use. Any other use requires our written permission. You may link to the website and quote brief excerpts with credit.

11. Links to other websites

The website links to outside websites for your convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices, and a link is not an endorsement.

12. Disclaimer

The website is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee that the website will always be available, uninterrupted, or free of errors.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Your Own Grounds PLLC and its clinicians and staff will not be liable for any damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the website or its content. This section does not limit any professional obligations we owe to our patients in the course of their care.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute about the website will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Texas.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date above shows when they were last changed, and continued use of the website means you accept the updated terms.
