Siegel Academy is a therapeutic support school that provides:

• Individual and group therapy sessions
• Mentor sessions for life goal planning
• Social skills and sharing circles
• Gaming and connection groups
• 24/7 chat-based support and community access

Important: Siegel Academy does not issue diplomas or academic credentials. We are a therapeutic support school that works alongside accredited educational programs. We help families find appropriate online schools for official academic credentials.

Our services are available to students ages 3 to 26. For students under 18, enrollment and participation require parental or guardian consent and involvement. Parents or guardians are responsible for:

• Providing accurate information during enrollment
• Ensuring the student's participation in scheduled sessions
• Communicating with our team about the student's needs
• Providing necessary technical equipment for online participation

Enrollment Process

Enrollment involves an interview process with the parent/guardian, the student, and then a family meeting together. There are no required documents to begin the process. Upon mutual agreement, we create a personalized plan based on the student's needs.

Fees and Payment

Our services are billed according to the agreed-upon plan. Current pricing includes:

• Monthly Membership: $200/month (may be waived for financial need)
• Individual Therapy: $90/session

Payment terms and schedules will be discussed during enrollment. Financial aid is available for qualifying families.

All participants in Siegel Academy services are expected to:

• Treat all staff, students, and family members with respect
• Maintain confidentiality about other students and their situations
• Participate in sessions in good faith and with a genuine desire to grow
• Use the chat and communication features appropriately
• Report any concerns about safety or wellbeing to staff

We reserve the right to terminate services for violations of these expectations, particularly those that impact the safety or wellbeing of others.

We maintain confidentiality of student information in accordance with applicable laws and professional ethics. Information shared during therapy and other sessions is confidential, with exceptions required by law (such as mandatory reporting of child abuse or imminent danger to self or others).

We do not share student information with other educational institutions or third parties without parental consent, except as required by law.

Siegel Academy services are not intended to replace:

• Emergency mental health services or crisis intervention

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Siegel Academy shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our services.

Either party may terminate services with reasonable notice. We reserve the right to terminate services immediately if:

• There are safety concerns for staff or other students
• The student's needs exceed what we can appropriately provide
• There are repeated violations of the code of conduct
• Payment obligations are not met
