Reading it establishes no clinical relationship. Every personal account on this page is fiction, written by Dr. Lapite-Garrett from her own clinical knowledge and expertise; she uses AI as a drafting tool and approves every word. No client information of any kind was used to make them. --- **Alafiora · Legal · Site Credits** # Site Credits ### This page names who wrote alafiora.com, who directed it, which tools helped build it, and where its images come from, in the same spirit of transparency the practice brings to its clinical work. Alafiora is built with the same care the practice brings to a session. This page states who wrote it, who directed how it looks and works, which tools were used along the way, and where its photographs and images come from, because the people who trust this practice with private matters deserve to know how the site itself was made. Dr. Lapite-Garrett made every choice on this website, including which images appear and which do not, with one specific reader in mind: the person who might be reading this page in a moment of real vulnerability. --- # Authorship and Clinical Direction | Who Wrote Every Page on This Website Every page on this website was written under Dr. Esther Lapite-Garrett's own authorship and clinical direction, drawing on her doctoral training and her years of direct clinical work across the three domains this practice treats. Claude AI served as an editorial collaborator throughout the writing process, helping structure pages and revise drafts for clarity. The clinical judgment behind every page, and its final wording, belong to Dr. Lapite-Garrett, who reviews and approves each page before it is published. The composite, fictionalized reflections that appear in some of this website's quote sections carry their own disclosure, stated directly above those quotes, describing how they were written and confirming that no client information of any kind was used to make them. --- # Creative Direction and Web Design | Who Directed This Site's Look and Build Dr. Lapite-Garrett conceived and directed the full aesthetic direction of this website herself, from its color palette and typography through its layout and the overall experience of moving through it. She worked through that direction in close, ongoing collaboration with Claude Code, an AI development tool, always measured against whether it kept the site usable for a reader in real distress. The crisis resources button stays reachable from every page. Every control on the site can be operated from a keyboard alone. Text size, spacing, contrast, and motion can each be adjusted without needing a browser's own settings. The practice's own [accessibility statement](/website-accessibility-statement) sets out this commitment in full, including how to report a barrier that is found. --- # Photography and Imagery | Where This Site's Photographs Come From The photographs and images across this website are drawn from several different sources, each chosen for a specific reason rather than for convenience. A number of images were generated using ChatGPT under detailed creative direction, built specifically for a scene no existing photograph could supply. Others are licensed through Styled Stock Society, and a further set sourced from Unsplash is being added to round out the site's environmental and landscape photography. Most of the imagery on this website favors place and atmosphere over an identifiable stock-photo face, so that no one arriving here in the middle of a specific struggle sees a stranger's face standing in for their own experience, and so that no stock photograph inadvertently features someone who could, in another context, be a client of this practice. The one deliberate exception is [Dr. Lapite-Garrett's](/meet-the-psychologist-dr-esther) own professional portrait, which appears on her About page, because that photograph identifies the person actually providing care rather than standing in for anyone else's experience. --- # Frequently Asked Questions ## Does AI write any of the clinical information on this website without Dr. Lapite-Garrett's review? No page on this website is published without her review. Claude AI and Claude Code are used as drafting and development tools throughout. Dr. Lapite-Garrett reads and approves every sentence, every layout choice, every image, and every link before it reaches this site. ## Do any of the images on this site show real clients of this practice? No. Nothing on this site depicts an actual client, colleague, or other real, identifiable person connected to Alafiora, with the single exception of [Dr. Lapite-Garrett's](/meet-the-psychologist-dr-esther) own professional portrait on her About page, described above. ## Where can a privacy, records, or accessibility concern about this website be raised? A concern of that kind belongs on the [Compliance Contact Form](/compliance-contact-form), which logs every submission so it can be tracked to a response. General questions or feedback about the site itself follow their own separate path, noted in the footer. --- Every decision on this site, clinical, visual, editorial, and technical, is made in service of one aim: that the person who needs this practice most can find it and feel steadied by it before ever saying a word. ---
