You may voluntarily provide information when you:
Submit a consultation or contact form;
Call, email, or text the Practice;
Request information about counseling services;

Please provide only the minimum information needed for us to respond.
Standard website forms, ordinary email, text messaging, and voicemail may have privacy and security limitations. Do not use these methods to send urgent, emergency, or highly sensitive clinical information.

Analytics and advertising
The Practice may use Squarespace’s website analytics to understand general Website traffic and performance.
The Practice does not knowingly sell Website visitors’ personal information.
The Practice does not currently use Website visitor information for third-party, cross-context behavioral advertising or remarketing.
Aggregated or de-identified information that does not reasonably identify an individual may be used for Website administration, planning, security, and general business analysis.
How we use information
We may use information collected through the Website to:
Respond to questions and consultation requests;
Communicate about the Practice’s services;
Determine whether scheduling an initial consultation may be appropriate;
Direct visitors to the secure client portal;
Operate, maintain, and improve the Website;
Diagnose technical problems;
Protect the Website and Practice against fraud, abuse, or security threats;
Maintain business records;
Comply with legal, regulatory, ethical, and professional obligations; and
Establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.
We will not use information submitted through an ordinary inquiry form to provide counseling through the form itself.
Service providers and third parties
The Practice may use third-party companies to operate the Website and provide related services. Depending on the Website’s final configuration, these providers may include:
Squarespace
Squarespace hosts and operates the public Website and may process technical, cookie, analytics, and form-submission information.
Sessions Health
Sessions Health may provide secure scheduling, intake forms, the client portal, electronic records, telehealth, billing, or other practice-management functions.
When you leave the public Website and enter Sessions Health, the information you provide is governed by the applicable Sessions Health terms, the Practice’s clinical documents, and applicable privacy requirements.
Stripe
Stripe may process payment-card or transaction information. The Practice generally does not receive complete payment-card numbers from Stripe.
Email and telecommunications providers
Email, telephone, voicemail, and text-message providers may process contact information and the content of communications sent through their systems.
Embedded maps, videos, or social-media features
If the Website includes an embedded map, video, social-media feed, or similar feature, the provider of that feature may receive information such as your IP address, device information, and interaction with the feature.
Professional and technical providers
Information may also be processed by vendors providing website maintenance, information security, legal, accounting, regulatory, or other professional services.
These providers may process information only for the services they perform, subject to their agreements and applicable law.
When information may be disclosed
The Practice may disclose information:
To vendors assisting with Website or business operations;
With your direction or consent;
When reasonably necessary to respond to your request;
To comply with a law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or lawful governmental request;
To protect the rights, safety, property, or security of a person, the Practice, or the public;
To investigate fraud, misuse, or a security incident;
To professional advisers when reasonably necessary; or
As part of a lawful reorganization, transfer, or disposition of practice assets, subject to applicable confidentiality obligations.
Nothing in this Privacy Policy permits a disclosure that is prohibited by applicable healthcare privacy or professional-confidentiality requirements.
Clinical information and the Notice of Privacy Practices
This Website Privacy Policy is separate from the Practice’s Notice of Privacy Practices.
If you become a client, information associated with counseling, treatment, payment, or healthcare operations may be subject to additional legal and professional protections.
The Notice of Privacy Practices explains, where applicable:
How protected health information may be used or disclosed;
Your rights regarding that information;
The Practice’s legal responsibilities;
How to request access or amendments;
How to request restrictions or confidential communications; and
How to make a privacy complaint.
Data retention
Website inquiries and related administrative records are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy and to meet legal, regulatory, insurance, security, accounting, and professional obligations.
If information becomes part of a clinical or billing record, it may be retained according to the requirements that apply to those records.
Backup systems may retain copies for a limited period after information is removed from an active system.
Information security
The Practice uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information it maintains.
However, no website, email system, text-message service, electronic transmission, or data-storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You provide information electronically at your own risk.
If you believe information sent to the Practice has been accessed or disclosed improperly, contact the Practice promptly using the information below.
Data breaches
The Practice will investigate suspected security incidents and provide notifications when required by applicable law.
Depending on the type of information involved and the laws that apply, notification obligations may arise under healthcare privacy laws, Arizona law, or other applicable federal or state requirements.
Children’s privacy
The public Website is not directed to children under 13, and the Practice does not knowingly use the Website to collect personal information directly from children under 13 without appropriate authorization.
A parent or legal guardian should contact the Practice regarding services for a minor.
If you believe a child has submitted personal information through the Website without appropriate authorization, please contact us.
Your choices and requests
You may contact the Practice to:
Ask what information you submitted through the public Website;
Request correction of inaccurate Website inquiry information;
Request deletion of Website inquiry information when the Practice is not legally or professionally required to retain it;
Withdraw consent to non-essential cookies;
Ask questions about this Privacy Policy; or
Report a suspected privacy or security issue.
These Website privacy requests are different from requests involving clinical records or rights described in the Notice of Privacy Practices.
The Practice may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Some requests may be limited by legal, regulatory, ethical, security, or record-retention obligations.
External websites
The Website may contain links to external websites, directories, resources, or service providers. The Practice does not control the privacy, security, availability, or content of external websites.
Visiting an external website is subject to that provider’s own policies and practices.
Visitors from outside Arizona
The Practice is located in Arizona, United States. Information collected through the Website may be processed and stored in the United States.
The Website may be viewed from other locations, but counseling services are offered only where the Practice and counselor are legally authorized to provide them.
Changes to this policy
The Practice may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in law, technology, vendors, services, or Website practices.
The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Material changes may also be communicated through a Website notice when appropriate.
