Purpose The Love-Life Workshop Service is an online Service available to adult men and women with internet access. The primary purpose of the Love-Life Workshop Service is the provision of a broad range of thematic workshops and consultations, public and private chat-rooms, and bulletin boards that address the love-life concerns of our members. We help identify and define our members’ love-life issues while providing information, instruction, advice, guidance, and support for more effective love-life solutions in the context of an online membership community. Our workshop leaders and consultants are independently contracted New York State licensed Ph.D. Psychologists selected on the basis of academic credentials, professional training, and personal love-life experience. They were all specifically trained in our workshop methodology by the Love-Life Workshop administration.

Eligibility The Love-Life Workshop is exclusively for adult men and women who are 21 years old and older. You must be 21 or over to register as a member of Love-Life Workshops and use this Website. Membership in this Service is void where prohibited. By using this Website, you represent and warrant that you have the right, authority, and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to abide by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Service is not intended for children, adolescents, and young adults under the age of twenty-one, and they are prohibited from membership with or without parental consent.

Communicating in a Workshop or Consultation The Love-Life Workshop discourages the use of common forms of internet ‘chat-room’ communication involving acronyms, abbreviations, and emoticons in our workshops and consultations. Instead we encourage our members to ‘workshop talk,’ or more specifically, to utilize ‘long-hand’ modes of speech in workshops and consultations. We request that members type as though they were actually talking. This will allow emotional experience to emerge more visibly into what is being typed, bring participants more fully into the workshop or consultation dialogue, and help nonparticipating members who are observing workshops or consultations better understand what is happening. Workshop leaders and consultants instruct and guide participants as needed to remain in ‘workshop talk’ throughout their participation in any and all workshops and consultations.

Service The Love-Life Workshop is a Psycho-Educational Service. The Love-Life Workshop is not a form of psychotherapy, counseling, psychiatric, or medical treatment, or a mental health therapy of any kind, nor should a Love-Life Workshop be used as a substitute for psychotherapy or other appropriate and necessary medical or mental health treatments and services. If you are currently suffering from suicidal, homicidal, or psychotic symptoms, you should not participate in this Service. Individual psycho-educational consultations conducted at the Love-Life Workshop Website are individual applications of our Psycho-Educational Service available by request to Website members and workshop participants. The thematic public and private chat-rooms available at our Website are not group psychotherapy, group counseling, or group treatment of any kind, nor do they pretend to be. Their sole purpose is to provide ‘mutual support’ for our Website members who have a particular love-life theme, issue, or problem in common they wish to address in a chat-room format. The use of bulletin board services and/or e-mail correspondence at the Love-Life Workshop Website as a method of internet communication about love-life matters does not intend to be or portray itself to be nor should it be used as a substitute for, mental health therapy, counseling, or psychiatric treatment.

Focus The Love-Life Workshop is a Psycho-Educational Service with an exclusive focus on adult love-life issues. The Love-Life Workshop is not an adult oriented website for the purpose of fostering adult oriented sexual activities, sexual fantasies, or other related adult-oriented entertainment. The Love-Life Workshop is not a dating or introductory service for men and women seeking dating, meeting, and/or networking experiences. The Love-Life Workshop is not for the procurement of online cyber-sexual contact or as a prelude to offline sexual contact or relations.

Competence The Love-Life Workshop has taken great care in providing our members with the best New York State licensed psychologists available. Even though we have confirmed their credentials and experience to the best of our ability, we cannot be responsible for the quality and conduct of their workshop leadership or consultation as independent contractors of Psycho-Educational Services on our website. Beyond the professional ethics and standards that govern a Psychologist’s professional representation, the Love-Life Workshop cannot guarantee the validity of what workshop leaders and consultants say about themselves or what they post on our workshop leader profile pages. Our Love-Life Workshop Leaders are contracted to provide love-life advice, instruction, guidance, and support as workshop leaders and/or individual consultants. Our workshop leaders are not authorized to provide psychotherapy, counseling, or any other mental health services or treatment while functioning as workshop leaders or consultants at our Love-Life Workshop Website. The Love-Life Workshop is not responsible for any intentional or unintentional breach of this limited and specific responsibility while a workshop leader or consultant is conducting Love-Life Workshops, individual consultations, or any other activity at our website.
