About This Website
Intimate Lens is a sexuality education and counseling website founded by Dr. Ditza Katz, PT, PhD, and operated in association with Women's Therapy Center and affiliated clinicians. In these Terms, the terms "Intimate Lens," "we," "us," and "our" refer collectively to Dr. Ditza Katz, Women's Therapy Center, affiliated clinicians, associated professional staff, and any future clinicians or associates who provide services through the platform.
Virtual Vaginismus Coach is a separate, affiliated educational platform. It is referenced where relevant but is not part of the primary entity defined above.
The website provides educational content about women's sexual health and offers information about counseling and clinical services available through our affiliated clinicians and associated professional staff.
Educational Purpose Only
All content on this website, including written material, video links, descriptions of services, and answers to common questions, is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for individualized medical, mental health, or clinical advice from a qualified professional who has evaluated your specific circumstances.
No Therapeutic Relationship Through Website Use
Use of this website, including reading content, submitting an inquiry through the contact form, sending email, or contacting us by phone or messaging, does not create a clinician-patient, therapist-client, or doctor-patient relationship between you and Intimate Lens, Women's Therapy Center, or any affiliated clinician or associated professional staff member.
A clinical relationship is established only after a formal engagement is initiated, including review of intake materials, signed informed-consent documents, completed registration, and confirmation of an appointment. Until such an engagement is formally established, you should not consider yourself a patient or client, and you should not rely on website content or inquiry responses as personalized clinical advice.

This website is not intended for emergencies of any kind. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately. If you are in crisis or considering self-harm, please contact a crisis service in your area or, in the United States, dial or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
