Independent practices

John Rodriguez, LMT and Dane Esses, LMT operate as wholly separate, independent businesses. Each therapist maintains his own professional licensure, liability insurance, client records, scheduling, and treatment protocols. This website is provided solely as a shared online directory and booking platform; it does not constitute a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employer-employee relationship between the practitioners. Neither therapist is responsible for the services, acts, omissions, advice, or conduct of the other. Clients contract directly with the individual therapist they book, and each therapist is solely responsible for the quality, safety, and outcomes of her or his own services. By booking or receiving services through this site, you acknowledge that you are engaging the individual practitioner directly and that the website owner and the non-treating therapist bear no liability for the other's services. Each therapist maintains independent professional liability coverage. In the event of any claim, dispute, or question regarding a session, please direct it to the specific therapist you saw.
