We use SimplePractice, a HIPAA-compliant platform, to collect, store, and communicate any information that constitutes PHI. This includes your name, contact details, health history, clinical notes, and any other information shared during the course of therapy.

If you are a patient, your health information is protected under HIPAA. We are committed to safeguarding your PHI, which may include your name, address, contact details, medical history, diagnosis, treatment information, and payment data. This section outlines your rights and our responsibilities under HIPAA.

We will not disclose your PHI without your written authorization unless required or permitted by law (e.g., for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations).

You have the right to access, amend, or request restrictions on your PHI.

You may request an accounting of disclosures and receive a copy of this privacy policy at any time.
