Accessibility Statement

Beachside Mental Health Counseling, PLLC  · 

Effective Date: April 23, 2026

 

Our Commitment

Beachside Mental Health Counseling, PLLC is committed to ensuring that our website and services are accessible to all people, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that everyone deserves equitable access to mental health information and care — and accessibility is part of delivering on that commitment.

 

Website Accessibility

We are working to ensure that our website conforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including those who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, magnification software, voice recognition, and alternative input devices.

 

Our ongoing efforts include:

  • Using sufficient color contrast ratios for text and background elements

  • Providing text alternatives for non-text content (alt text for images)

  • Ensuring keyboard navigability throughout the site

  • Using clear, descriptive headings and page structure

  • Avoiding content that flashes or strobes in ways that could trigger seizures

  • Using plain language and avoiding unnecessary jargon

 

Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some areas of our website may not yet meet all WCAG 2.1 AA criteria. We are actively working to identify and address these gaps. If you encounter a specific barrier, please let us know — your feedback helps us improve.

 

Third-Party Content

Some content on our website may be provided or hosted by third parties (including our client portal, TheraNest, and affiliated websites). We work with vendors that prioritize accessibility, but we cannot guarantee third-party compliance. Please contact us if you experience accessibility barriers with any tools linked from our site.

If you require an accommodation, please contact us in advance of your appointment so we can make appropriate arrangements.
