Privacy Notice

Website and online forms

What you send us. When you fill out our “Find the Right Therapist” form, our new client form, or the course sign-up, we receive the information you enter, such as your name, contact details, insurance, and a short note about what you need. We use it only to respond to you, check fit and insurance, schedule care, or send the course you asked for.

How it’s sent. Our forms are hosted by Jotform on an account set up for health information. Only our intake team and clinicians can see what you submit.

Share only what you’re comfortable with. You don’t need to give details about your history to reach out. You can always tell us more by phone or in your first session.

Website analytics. We use Vercel Web Analytics and Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are useful. Google Analytics uses cookies to tell new visitors from returning ones. Neither tool records what you type into our forms, and we don’t use them for advertising. You can block analytics cookies in your browser settings.

Email. If you sign up for a free course, we use your email to send it. You can unsubscribe anytime.

We do not sell your information, and we don’t share it with advertisers.

This website is not monitored for emergencies. If you are in danger or having a mental health emergency, call or text 988, or call 911.

Notice of Privacy Practices

This notice describes how medical information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to this information. Please review it carefully.

Effective date: January 2026

Our responsibilities

• We are required by law to keep your protected health information private and secure.
• We will let you know promptly if a breach occurs that may have compromised the privacy or security of your information.
• We must follow the duties and privacy practices described in this notice and give you a copy of it.
• We will not use or share your information other than as described here unless you tell us we can in writing. If you tell us we can, you may change your mind at any time in writing.

How we may use and share your information

Treatment. We use your information to provide care, and we may share it with other professionals who are treating you, such as a doctor or psychiatric provider.

Payment. We use and share your information to bill and get paid by your health plan, for example to confirm benefits or submit claims.

Health care operations. We use your information to run our practice, such as for scheduling, quality review, supervision, and training.

Other ways we may share your information

We are allowed or required to share information in limited situations, usually to meet legal requirements or protect safety. These include:

• When required by federal, state, or local law
• To prevent or reduce a serious threat to someone’s health or safety
• To report suspected abuse or neglect of a child or vulnerable adult
• For public health activities and health oversight, such as audits and licensing
• In response to a court order, subpoena, or other lawful process
• To law enforcement, coroners, or medical examiners when the law allows
• For workers’ compensation and certain government functions

Delaware law may give your mental health information more protection than federal law. When it does, we follow the stricter rule.

Uses that need your written permission

• Most sharing of psychotherapy notes
• Marketing
• Selling your information (we never do this)
• Any other use not described in this notice

Your rights

• See or get a copy of your records. Ask us in writing. We may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee.
• Ask us to correct your records if you think they are incorrect or incomplete. We may say no, but we’ll tell you why in writing.
• Ask for confidential communications, such as calling a different number or mailing to a different address.
• Ask us to limit what we use or share. We are not required to agree, except that if you pay for a service in full out of pocket, you can ask us not to share that information with your health plan.
• Get a list of those we’ve shared your information with for up to six years before the date you ask, with some exceptions.
• Get a paper copy of this notice at any time.
• Choose someone to act for you, such as a legal guardian or someone with medical power of attorney.
• File a complaint if you believe your rights were violated (see below).

Changes to this notice

We can change this notice, and the changes will apply to all information we have about you. The current notice will be on this page and available in our office.
