Privacy & Client Policies
Your privacy and confidentiality are important parts of the therapy process. This page provides a general overview of how your information is protected and outlines the legal limits to confidentiality.
A full Notice of Privacy Practices is provided to all clients through the secure client portal during the intake process.
Confidentiality & Legal Limits
Therapy is a confidential space. Information shared in session will not be disclosed without your written permission, except in situations where disclosure is required by law.
In accordance with applicable state law, confidential information may be disclosed to law enforcement or a potential victim if a client makes a specific threat of serious bodily harm or death to an identifiable person and has the intent or ability to carry out that threat.
As a mandated reporter, I am legally required to report suspected child abuse or neglect, as well as abuse, neglect, or exploitation of vulnerable adults or elderly persons.
If a situation arises that requires disclosure, I will make every effort to discuss it with you whenever possible.
Notice of Privacy Practices (HIPAA)
As a Licensed Certified Social Worker - Clinical (LCSW-C) I comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which protects the privacy of your health information.
A detailed Notice of Privacy Practices, outlining how your protected health information may be used and your rights under HIPAA, is provided through the secure client portal at the start of services. You may request a copy at any time.
Electronic Communication & Telehealth
While reasonable safeguards are used to protect your information, communication via email or website contact forms may not be fully secure. Please avoid submitting sensitive or detailed clinical information through online forms.
Telehealth services are provided through secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms.
Website Privacy Policy
Information submitted through this website, including contact forms, is used solely for communication and scheduling purposes. This website does not sell or share personal information with third parties.
