Terms of Use

Educational Only

Everything on this site is general education. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and reading it or contacting me does not create a clinician-patient relationship. Talk to your own clinician about your situation.

Not Currently in Practice

I am a registered nurse (BSN, RN) completing graduate training as a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner. I am not a licensed advanced practice registered nurse, I am not accepting patients, and I do not provide psychiatric evaluation, treatment, or prescribing.

Planned Services Are a Preview

Pages describing services and fees show what I plan to offer once I am licensed and the practice opens in 2028. They are not offers, nothing can be booked or bought now, and final services and fees may change, including for inflation. Care will be available only to people physically in Illinois at each visit.

Founding Rates

Founding rates are offered when the practice opens, in sign-up order, to people on the list who are in Illinois. They are locked for the first year and then move to the standard rate. Joining the list does not guarantee a place.

In a Crisis

This site cannot help in an emergency. Call or text 988, call 911, or go to the nearest emergency department.

Accuracy and Outside Links

I work to keep the writing accurate and sourced, but medicine, laws, and resources change, and the content is provided as is. Links to other sites are for convenience; I am not responsible for their content.

Copyright

The writing, design, and the free guide are copyright Jerrin Mathew. You are welcome to share links. Please do not republish the content without permission.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois. If they change, the updated version will be posted here with a new date.
