Last updated: May 25, 2026
Welcome to the Cedar Elm Clinical Services public website. By using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the website.
This website is provided for educational information, public resources, and nonclinical resource updates only. It is not a counseling intake platform, client portal, scheduling system, crisis service, emergency contact system, or clinical communication tool.
Website purpose
Cedar Elm Clinical Services provides this public website to share educational resources, public information, and updates related to Cedar Elm resource work for veterans, first responders, couples, families, and referral partners.
The information on this website is general and educational. It is not individualized counseling, psychotherapy, diagnosis, treatment, clinical consultation, legal advice, VA benefits advice, claims assistance, supervision, or emergency support.
No counseling relationship
Use of this website does not create a counselor-client relationship, therapist-client relationship, provider-client relationship, supervisory relationship, fiduciary relationship, or clinical relationship.
This website does not provide diagnosis, treatment, counseling intake, or individualized clinical advice.
Reading Cedar Elm content, signing up for resource updates, clicking links, submitting a resource-update form, or communicating through public website channels does not make you a client of Cedar Elm Clinical Services.
Cedar Elm is not currently offering counseling services through this website. Future clinical services, if offered, will require separate informed consent documents, privacy documents, clinical procedures, and approved workflows.
No emergency or crisis use
This website is not monitored as a crisis service and should not be used for emergencies, urgent safety concerns, or crisis communication.
If this is an emergency or crisis, call 911, call or text 988, or use Veterans Crisis Line options if applicable.
Do not use this website, forms, email updates, or public contact methods to submit crisis concerns, suicide risk information, threats of harm, abuse or neglect reports, medical emergencies, or urgent safety concerns.
Do not submit private information
Do not submit private health information, diagnosis information, medication information, trauma details, VA claims information, custody information, legal information, insurance information, counseling requests, or other sensitive personal information through this website, any website forms, or replies to Cedar Elm emails.
Cedar Elm Resource Updates are for nonclinical educational updates only. They are not for counseling inquiries, scheduling, referrals involving private client details, treatment questions, or clinical communication.
Resource updates and email communication
If you sign up for Cedar Elm Resource Updates, you may receive occasional educational resource updates or launch-related updates. You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in those emails.
Cedar Elm uses MailerLite to help manage this email list and send resource-related emails. These emails are limited to general educational and Cedar Elm-related updates.
Email updates are not counseling, treatment, crisis support, case management, referral coordination, or clinical advice. Do not reply to Cedar Elm emails with private health information, crisis concerns, counseling requests, or urgent safety concerns.
No guarantees
Cedar Elm does not guarantee any specific result, outcome, response time, service availability, resource availability, future launch date, referral result, clinical acceptance, or change in personal circumstances.
Educational resources may be useful for general learning, but they are not a substitute for professional counseling, medical care, legal advice, emergency services, benefits advising, or individualized support from a qualified provider.
