HIPAA & Privacy Policy

Your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal health information are extremely important to us. As a mental health practice, we are committed to maintaining your trust and complying fully with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

What is HIPAA?

HIPAA is a federal law that protects your personal health information. It gives you rights over your health records and sets rules for who can access and share your information.

How We Protect Your Information

We are required by law to:

  • Maintain the privacy and security of your protected health information (PHI)

  • Inform you of our legal duties and privacy practices

  • Notify you promptly if a breach occurs that may compromise your information

  • Only share your information when necessary for treatment, billing, or healthcare operations—or with your written permission

We use secure, HIPAA-compliant tools for scheduling, communication, and record-keeping.

Your Rights as a Patient

You have the right to:

  • Access your medical records

  • Request corrections to your health information

  • Receive a list of disclosures we’ve made of your information

  • Request confidential communications (e.g., via a specific phone number or email)

  • File a complaint if you believe your rights have been violated

How Your Information May Be Used

Your information may be used for:

  • Treatment (communicating with other healthcare providers involved in your care)

  • Payment (billing you or your insurance provider)

  • Practice operations (quality improvement, training, etc.)

We will never share your information for marketing purposes or sell your data.
