Thetsy Therapist Content Guidelines & Terms of Use

SECTION 1: Content Guidelines for Therapists

Our Vision

Thetsy exists to elevate the voices of licensed therapists who are committed to healing, excellence, and integrity. This platform is built on the belief that therapists offer more than sessions—they create transformational resources that reflect deep care, lived wisdom, and ethical discernment.

Our goal is to curate content that supports human flourishing, uplifts the spirit, and provides practical tools for emotional and relational growth.

4. AI Use and Representation

• All content must be substantially authored and edited by you.
