Terms of Use & Professional Disclosures

Welcome to Animare Play, LLC ("Animare Play," "we," "our," or "us"). This website provides information about professional consultation, play therapy, educational resources, and services offered now or in the future.

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the website.

1. About Animare Play

Animare Play, LLC is a professional practice founded by Sarah Jensen Bluth, MS, CMHC, RPT-S™.

Animare Play currently provides professional consultation and may offer additional educational and mental health services in the future.

Information about services, availability, fees, and offerings may change over time.

2. Website Information Is Educational

The information provided on this website—including blog posts, articles, artwork, downloadable resources, worksheets, and other educational materials—is provided for general educational and informational purposes.

Although we make reasonable efforts to provide accurate and thoughtful information, website content:

• Is not a substitute for psychotherapy or other mental health treatment.
• Is not individualized clinical advice.
• Is not legal advice.
• Is not medical advice.
• Does not establish a professional relationship with Animare Play.

You should seek appropriate professional advice regarding your individual circumstances.

3. No Therapist-Client Relationship

Using this website, reading its content, downloading resources, submitting a contact form, or communicating through ordinary website channels does not establish a therapist-client relationship between you and Animare Play or Sarah Jensen Bluth.

A psychotherapy relationship is established only through a separate process that includes appropriate intake procedures, informed consent, and agreement to begin services.

Nothing on this website should be interpreted as an invitation to begin psychotherapy simply by contacting Animare Play.

4. Consultation Is a Separate Professional Relationship

Animare Play provides professional consultation to mental health professionals, including consultation related to play therapy and the Registered Play Therapist (RPT™) credential.

Submitting an inquiry does not establish a consultation relationship.

A consultation relationship begins only after the appropriate consultation agreement has been reviewed and accepted and both parties have agreed to begin services.

Unless specifically stated in a separate written agreement, consultation through Animare Play is not supervision toward state mental health licensure.

Consultation does not create responsibility for the clinical care of a consultee's clients. Consultees remain responsible for their own clinical decisions, documentation, ethical obligations, and compliance with applicable laws.

5. Professional Licensure and Geographic Limitations

Psychotherapy services are provided only in jurisdictions where Sarah Jensen Bluth is licensed or otherwise legally authorized to practice.

The availability of consultation services does not mean that psychotherapy services are available in every state.

If you are seeking psychotherapy services, you are responsible for confirming that you are located in a jurisdiction where services may legally be provided.

Animare Play may limit or decline services when doing so is necessary to comply with applicable laws, licensing requirements, professional standards, or ethical obligations.

6. No Emergency Services

Animare Play does not provide emergency or crisis services through this website.

7. Contact Forms and Electronic Communication

Contact forms and ordinary email are intended for general communication and scheduling inquiries.
