HIPAA & Notice of Privacy Practices

Your privacy matters. The law also has limits. This is a plain-language notice, not a claim of perfect secrecy. TODO: legal review.

When you become a patient, information about your care is protected health information under HIPAA. We use it to provide treatment, arrange payment, and run our operations.

We will not share your information with an employer, school, or family member without your written permission, except when the law requires or allows it. That includes situations where someone is in immediate danger, certain public-health reports, and valid legal orders.

You have the right to ask for a copy of your records, request corrections, and ask how we have shared your information. You may file a complaint with us or with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services if you believe your privacy rights were violated.

A consultation on this website is a first conversation, not enrollment in treatment. We still treat what you share with care.
