Privacy Policy

Information Collected

Information may be collected when you use the contact form, communicate with the practice, or engage in services. This may include your name, email address, phone number, and any information you choose to share.

For individuals receiving services, additional personal and health-related information may be collected as part of the clinical or evaluation process.

How Information Is Used

Information is used to respond to inquiries, provide services, schedule appointments, conduct assessments, and communicate as needed. For clinical and forensic services, information may also be used to complete evaluations, prepare reports, and fulfill professional obligations.

Confidentiality

Therapy and psychological services are confidential, with certain legal and ethical exceptions. These may include situations involving risk of harm to yourself or others, suspected abuse or neglect, court orders, or other circumstances required by law.

The specific limits of confidentiality are discussed in more detail at the start of services so that you understand how your information may be used and protected.

Forensic and Evaluation Services

In some cases, services may be provided for legal, forensic, or evaluation purposes. In these contexts, confidentiality may differ from traditional therapy. Information gathered during an evaluation may be included in reports, shared with referral sources, or used in legal proceedings as required.

The nature and limits of confidentiality for these services will be explained prior to beginning work.

Website and Communication Security

Reasonable measures are taken to protect information submitted through this website. However, no method of internet transmission is completely secure. You are encouraged to avoid including highly sensitive or detailed personal information when using the contact form.

Third-Party Services

This website or practice may use third-party services for functions such as scheduling, communication, payment processing, or analytics. These providers may have their own privacy policies governing how information is handled.

Data Retention

Records are maintained in accordance with professional standards and legal requirements. The length of time information is retained may vary depending on the type of service and applicable regulations.

Your Rights

Depending on the nature of services and applicable laws, you may have rights related to accessing, reviewing, or requesting corrections to your information. These can be discussed upon request.
