Clinical Records and HIPAA Compliance

If you are a therapy client, your clinical information is protected under HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and state regulations. I maintain separate policies regarding clinical records, confidentiality, and your rights as a client. These policies are provided to you at the start of our therapeutic relationship.

Scheduling and communication platforms
Email service providers

These providers have access only to the information necessary to perform their services and are contractually obligated to maintain confidentiality and security.

Data Security

I take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information using industry-standard security measures. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. While I strive to protect your information, I cannot guarantee absolute security.

My website may contain links to external sites (such as UZAZU.org or professional organizations). I am not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party websites. I encourage you to review their privacy policies.
