Website Contact Is Not Therapy
Submitting a contact form, email, or appointment request does not create a therapist-client relationship.
A therapist-client relationship begins only after you have been accepted for services and completed the required counseling paperwork.
Privacy and HIPAA
Information connected to an established counseling relationship may have additional protections under HIPAA and other privacy laws.
This website Privacy Policy is separate from any Notice of Privacy Practices or clinical privacy documents provided to clients.

Third-Party Services
The website may use or link to third-party services such as scheduling platforms, client portals, website hosting, analytics tools, social media, or other online services.
Those companies have their own privacy policies and practices.
