Not Medical or Mental Health Treatment

WithMarsha is an educational tool, not therapy or medical care.

WithMarsha is designed to help you learn and practice Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills. However, it is NOT:

  • •A substitute for professional mental health care
  • •Psychotherapy or counseling
  • •Medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment
  • •A crisis intervention service
  • •A replacement for medication or other prescribed treatments

Always consult with qualified healthcare professionals for medical or mental health concerns.

AI Technology Limitations

Marsha is powered by artificial intelligence (AI) technology. While we strive for accuracy and helpfulness, you should be aware that:

  • •AI responses may occasionally be inaccurate or incomplete
  • •Marsha cannot understand context or nuance like a human therapist
  • •The AI cannot detect emergencies or assess risk
  • •Responses are generated based on patterns, not clinical judgment
  • •The technology may have biases or limitations we're working to address

Use your own judgment and consult professionals when making important decisions about your health.

Not Affiliated with Dr. Marsha Linehan

  • •We are NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Dr. Marsha Linehan
