In Therapy ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the intellectual property rights associated with our website, therapeutic resources, clinical materials, and brand assets. This policy outlines how our content is protected, how it may be used, and how to request permission for reuse.

By accessing or using our platform, you acknowledge that all proprietary materials are protected under applicable intellectual property laws and agree to comply with the guidelines set forth below.

2. Copyright Protection

All original content published on the In Therapy website and delivered through our therapeutic services—including but not limited to blog articles, clinical worksheets, psychoeducational materials, assessments, video content, website copy, and graphical designs—is the exclusive property of In Therapy or its licensed contributors.

These materials are protected by United States and international copyright laws. Unauthorized reproduction, distribution, modification, or commercial use of any copyrighted content without express written permission from In Therapy is strictly prohibited.

3. Trademarks & Branding

The name "In Therapy," our logo, taglines, service names, and distinctive visual elements are registered or unregistered trademarks of In Therapy. These marks may not be used, displayed, or reproduced in any manner that implies endorsement, affiliation, or sponsorship by In Therapy without prior written consent.

Third parties are permitted to reference our organization in editorial, news, or academic contexts provided such use is factual, non-misleading, and does not dilute or tarnish our brand identity.

4. Client Materials & Rights

Clients retain ownership of their personal insights, journal entries, and session reflections. However, proprietary clinical frameworks, standardized assessments, and structured therapeutic curricula remain the intellectual property of In Therapy and our licensed therapists.

Clients are granted a limited, non-transferable license to use provided materials for self-help and personal growth. Redistribution, resale, or public posting of clinical materials (including on social media, educational platforms, or commercial products) requires explicit authorization.
