The author is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).
Her professional education, experience, and credentials may inform the educational and self-help content published through DeEveria Lacy Publishing.
However, the books, materials, website content, and other resources offered through DeEveria Lacy Publishing are provided for general educational, informational, self-help, literary, and personal development purposes only.
Nothing contained on this website or in any publication is intended to constitute or replace individualized mental health counseling, psychotherapy, psychological services, psychiatric care, medical care, diagnosis, treatment, crisis intervention, or other professional healthcare services.
Purchasing, reading, downloading, or using any book or other material published by DeEveria Lacy Publishing does not establish a therapist-client, counselor-client, or other professional treatment relationship between the reader and the author.

The author does not provide individualized counseling, therapy, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or crisis services through this publishing website, through the purchase of books, through customer service communications, or through general email or social media communications associated with the publishing business.
Readers should consider their own individual circumstances and, when appropriate, seek guidance from a qualified healthcare or mental health professional who can provide individualized care.
