When reaching out to treatment providers, we always encourage people to begin by connecting with resources from licensed mental health providers. While TWLOHA believes in the power and efficacy of treatment, you are responsible for interviewing and selecting the provider or treatment. As TWLOHA does not provide treatment services, TWLOHA cannot accept responsibility for any of the services provided by these or any other providers.
