1. About The Guided Studio

The Guided Studio is a digital product brand offering specialized tools, workbooks, clinical guides, and interactive resources designed exclusively for licensed mental health professionals. Our offerings are focused on EMDR therapy, trauma treatment, expressive arts therapy, and parts work, and are intended to support clinicians in their professional practice — not for use by the general public.

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and The Guided Studio ("we," "us," or "our") and govern your use of our website, digital products, downloadable materials, interactive tools, and any related services (collectively, the "Services").

​

2. Eligibility and Professional Use Requirement

2.1 Who May Use Our Services

Our Services are intended solely for licensed or credentialed mental health professionals, including but not limited to licensed professional counselors, licensed clinical social workers, licensed marriage and family therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and supervised trainees under the direct oversight of a licensed supervisor. By accessing our Services, you represent and warrant that you hold the appropriate professional credentials required to use clinical tools in your jurisdiction.

​

Our products are not designed for, marketed to, or appropriate for use by the general public, individuals seeking personal self-help resources, or unlicensed individuals acting outside the scope of a supervised clinical role.

​

2.2 Minimum Age

You must be at least 18 years of age to use our Services or make a purchase.

​

2.3 Account Responsibility

If you create an account with The Guided Studio, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

 

3. Clinical Disclaimer and Limitation of Scope

3.1 Not Clinical Advice

The resources, tools, workbooks, and information provided by The Guided Studio are intended for educational and professional support purposes only. Nothing within our Services constitutes medical advice, psychiatric evaluation, clinical diagnosis, or a recommendation for any specific therapeutic intervention with any individual client.

​

3.2 Your Professional Responsibility

As a licensed clinician, you bear sole professional and ethical responsibility for determining the appropriateness of any tool, resource, or technique for a given client. You must apply your own clinical judgment, adhere to your professional licensing board's standards of care, and comply with all applicable ethical codes and regulations. The Guided Studio does not supervise, direct, or oversee your clinical practice.

​

3.3 Mandatory Per-Visit Disclaimer Agreement

Access to certain interactive tools and public-facing applications provided by The Guided Studio requires your explicit agreement to our clinical disclaimer upon every visit, regardless of prior acknowledgment. This is a non-negotiable requirement and exists to ensure ongoing, active acknowledgment of the professional nature and limitations of our tools. Declining the disclaimer will prevent access to the relevant tool or application.

​

5. Purchases, Payments, and Refund Policy

5.1 Pricing and Payment

All prices are listed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated. We reserve the right to modify pricing at any time. Payment is processed securely through our third-party payment processor(s). By completing a purchase, you authorize us to charge your selected payment method for the total amount due.

 

5.2 Digital Products — All Sales Final

Because our products are delivered digitally and are immediately accessible upon purchase, all sales are final. We do not offer refunds, returns, or exchanges once a digital product has been purchased and the file or access link has been delivered, regardless of whether the file has been downloaded or opened.

We strongly encourage you to review all product descriptions, previews, and any available sample content before completing your purchase. If you have questions about a product prior to purchasing, please contact us.

 

5.3 Subscription and Tool Access

Certain interactive tools or premium content areas may require a mandatory subscription or account registration for access. Subscription fees, billing cycles, and cancellation terms will be clearly disclosed at the point of sign-up. Cancellation of a subscription will not result in a refund for any previously billed period.

 

5.4 Exceptions

In the rare event that a product is delivered incorrectly, is technically inaccessible due to an error on our end, or is materially different from its description, please contact us within 7 days of purchase and we will work to resolve the issue, which may include a replacement, store credit, or, at our sole discretion, a refund.

 

6. Privacy, Data Transparency, and AI Disclosure

6.1 Privacy Policy

Your use of our Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Please review our Privacy Policy to understand how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information.

 

6.2 Transparency in Interactive Tools

The Guided Studio is committed to full transparency regarding data collection and the use of artificial intelligence within our tools. For each interactive or public-facing tool we offer:

•Static tools that do not collect user data or engage active AI processing will clearly state this within the tool's interface.

•Tools that collect data or use AI features will disclose this clearly before you access or use the tool, and will describe what data is collected, how it is used, and how it is protected.

We prioritize building tools that allow you to maintain control over your data and your clients' data, and we avoid unnecessary reliance on third-party platforms wherever possible.

 

6.3 Client Data

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of our tools complies with all applicable privacy laws and regulations, including HIPAA (if applicable in your jurisdiction), and with your professional ethical obligations regarding client confidentiality. Do not enter any identifiable client information into any tool or platform unless you have verified that it meets your jurisdiction's data security requirements.

 

7. Inclusive Language and Community Standards

7.1 Our Commitment to Inclusive Language

The Guided Studio is deeply committed to trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, and culturally responsive practice. Our content is developed with intentional care around language. We use terminology such as "parts work" or "IFS-informed" and prefer "aspects" or "parts" when referring to internal experiences. We avoid terms that carry harmful historical connotations or that may cause harm to individuals with dissociative experiences.

 

7.2 User-Generated Content

If any area of our platform permits user-generated content (such as community forums or comments), you agree to uphold these same standards of inclusive, respectful, and professional communication. Content that is discriminatory, harmful, or violates professional ethical standards may be removed at our discretion.

8. Third-Party Links and Resources

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, resources, or tools. These links are provided for informational purposes only. The Guided Studio does not endorse, control, or assume responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of any third-party site. Your use of any third-party site is at your own risk and subject to that site's own terms and conditions.

If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it shall be submitted to binding arbitration or the appropriate courts of competent jurisdiction, as applicable.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other policies incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and The Guided Studio with respect to the Services and supersede all prior agreements.
