Privacy Policy
This policy explains how information submitted through this website is collected, used, and protected. It applies to this website only. Health information created in the course of treatment is governed separately by the Notice of Privacy Practices.
Please do not send clinical information
This website's contact form is not a secure or confidential channel. Please do not include detailed clinical, medical, or personal health information in your message. A brief note about what you are seeking is all that's needed — everything else is best discussed by phone.
Information collected
The only information collected through this site is what you voluntarily submit through the contact form: your name, email address, optional phone number, and a brief message about your reason for reaching out. No account creation is required, and no payment information is collected on this website.
Like most websites, standard technical information such as browser type, device type, and pages visited may be logged by the site's hosting provider for security and performance purposes.
How information is used
- To respond to your inquiry and, where appropriate, to schedule an initial phone consultation.
- To maintain the security and functioning of the website.
Information submitted through this website is never sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing purposes. It is not used for advertising, and it is not disclosed except as required by law.
Service providers
This website is hosted by a third-party website platform, and form submissions are transmitted by email. These providers may process information on our behalf in order to operate the site. Once a therapeutic relationship begins, clinical records and communications are maintained in a HIPAA-compliant practice management system, separate from this website.
Retention
Inquiries that do not lead to services are retained only as long as reasonably necessary. If you become a client, information about your care is retained in accordance with California and federal recordkeeping requirements.
Your choices
You may request that an inquiry you submitted be deleted, or ask what information has been retained, by contacting the practice. California residents have additional rights regarding personal information under California law; requests will be honored in accordance with those laws.
Most browsers allow you to control or disable cookies through their settings. This website does not respond to “Do Not Track” browser signals.
Children
This practice provides services to adults 18 and older, and this website is not directed to children.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
