Terms of Use

The ground rules for using this website.
Effective October 21, 2026

These Terms of Use apply to this website, operated by Inspired Therapy, the private clinical social work practice of Melissa Pazen, MSW, LCSW. By using the site you agree to them.

Information only, not therapy

The content on this website, including any downloadable resources, is general information. It is not therapy, diagnosis or medical advice, and it does not replace care from a qualified professional. Reading the site, sending the consultation form or exchanging messages does not create a therapist-client relationship. That relationship begins only once we have agreed to work together and you have completed the intake process.

Not for emergencies

Do not use this website or its form in an emergency. If you are in a mental health emergency or crisis, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or dial 911.

Who the practice serves

Melissa Pazen is licensed in Illinois and provides individual telehealth sessions to adults located in Illinois at the time of the session.

Booking, fees and third-party services

Scheduling, video sessions, insurance billing and payments run through Grow Therapy, under Grow Therapy's own terms and privacy policy. Fees and accepted insurance shown on this site are given in good faith and may change; your fee and coverage are confirmed when you book. Links to other websites are provided for convenience; I am not responsible for their content.

Website content

The text, images, logo and design of this website belong to Inspired Therapy or are used with permission. You may view and print pages for your personal use. Please do not copy or republish them without written permission. Client reviews are shared with the clients' consent.

Using the site

Please do not misuse the website, for example by trying to disrupt it, gain unauthorized access, or send unlawful or abusive messages through the form.

No warranty and limitation of liability

The website is provided "as is". I work to keep it accurate and available but cannot guarantee that it will always be complete, current or uninterrupted. To the extent the law allows, Inspired Therapy is not liable for any loss arising from use of this website or reliance on its content.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois.

Changes

I may update these terms from time to time. The effective date above shows when they last changed.
