Important Disclaimer & Service Limitations
Psychologist Vietnam (PV) is a mental health referral and coordination service dedicated to supporting and advocating for individuals and families in identifying and accessing independent mental health and psychiatric professionals and services in Vietnam.
PV may provide information about, and facilitate referrals to, psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, therapists, and other appropriately qualified mental health providers. PV verifies relevant provider qualifications, professional credentials, and, where applicable, authorization to practice in accordance with applicable Vietnamese laws and regulations, based on documentation and information available to PV at the time of verification.
Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing, all referred providers operate as independent professionals and are not employees, agents, or representatives of PV. Provider verification by PV does not mean that PV provides, directs, or controls the provider’s clinical services or professional judgment.
This Disclaimer explains the nature, scope, and limitations of PV’s role and should be carefully reviewed before using PV’s referral or coordination services.
