Accessibility.

The first step of asking for help should not be a fight with a website. This site is built with the intention that anyone who might want to reach out can — including people using screen readers, keyboards, magnification, voice control, or a slow connection.

The standard I am working toward

This website aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA. In practice, that means:

• Text has enough contrast against its background to be read comfortably.
• Every meaningful image has alternative text so screen readers can describe it.
• Every page uses one clear H1 and a logical heading order.
• Forms have labels tied to their inputs and describe errors in words, not only in color.
• You can move through the site using only the keyboard — links and buttons show a visible focus outline.
• Motion is used sparingly, and animations respect the “reduce motion” setting in your operating system.
• The site works at 200% zoom without breaking, and works on a phone as well as a laptop.

What is not perfect yet

I am not going to claim the site is finished. Websites are living things. Some pages may still have room to improve — an image alt that could be clearer, a color pairing that is close but not ideal, a form message that could describe an error more plainly. If you land on one of those spots, I want to know.

How to report a barrier

The fastest way is the contact form. Tell me:

• Which page you were on (a link or a title is enough).
• What you were trying to do.
• What got in the way — for example, “the button did not announce itself to VoiceOver” or “the text was too small to read on my phone at the size I use.”

You do not need technical language. A sentence in your own words is exactly right. If you would rather write in Spanish than in English, please do — I read and reply in both.

What happens after you report

I read every report myself. Small fixes — like a missing alt or a low-contrast link — are usually made quickly. Larger ones may take longer, but I will let you know that I saw your message and what I am doing about it.

Accessibility inside the therapy itself

If you use assistive technology in a session — a screen reader, captions on video, a communication device, a preferred visual layout — please tell me during the free 15-minute call. Therapy adapts to you, not the other way around. If you would like an interpreter in a language other than English or Spanish, we can talk about how to arrange one.

Third-party components

Some parts of the site — for example, the client portal, the video-session platform, or the payment page — are provided by outside services. Their accessibility is under their control, not mine. If one of them is a barrier, please tell me anyway. I would rather find an alternative for you than pretend I did not know.

Thank you for helping make this site work for more people. Access is part of care.
