I am the sole owner of the information collected on this site. I only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give me via email or another direct contact from you. I will not sell or rent this information to anyone.
I will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted me. I will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, e.g. to ship an order.
Unless you ask me not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services, or changes to this privacy policy.
See what data we have about you if any.
Change/correct any data we have about you.
Have me delete any data we have about you.
Express any concern you have about misuse of your data.
I take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever I collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the Web page.
While I use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, I also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
Please give 24 hours (1 working day) notice of cancellation. For Monday appointments, cancellations must occur on the prior Friday. For less than 24 hours notice, the full cost of the visit will be charged to you credit card on file.
If you feel you are in crisis, you can leave a message on my voicemail and expect a return call, in most cases, within 24–48 business hours. If your emergency is so acute that waiting for a response is not appropriate, please call 911 or go to the nearest Emergency Department. HMHI Crisis Services can also be reached 24/7 at (801) 583-2500.
Client information will not be shared, sold or otherwise disclosed to any other party except as requested by the client in writing. The law protects the relationship between a client and therapist with the exception of the following situations:
Suspected child abuse or dependent adult or elder abuse, for which I am required by law to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.
If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person/s, I must notify the police and inform the intended victim.
If a client intends to harm himself or herself, I will make every effort to enlist their cooperation in insuring their safety. If they do not cooperate, I will take further measures without their permission that are provided to me by law in order to ensure their safety.
Therapists are required by law to report incidences of sexual misconduct on the part of other therapists.
Additionally, I may consult with my clinical supervisor and/or consultation group without disclosing any identifiable information.
I abide by HIPAA practice standards.
There are limits to protecting your confidentiality over the internet. Please consider the information you submit over the internet prior to sending. Please do not use email or “contact us” form to send messages of a personal or confidential nature. Even though I do my best to keep my email confidential, email is copied, archived, and retransmitted continuously as part of normal processing. Because of this, please use email only to request information about my services, or other non-confidential matters.
There are several ways you can communicate with me without having to send information over the Internet: in person, by phone, fax or mail.
Email and texting is intended in my practice for administrative purposes i.e. changing appointment times, contacting me to request an appointment, or confirm appointment times. Please recognize that email or texting is not completely secure or confidential. If you choose to communicate via email, be aware that emails are retained in the logs of internet service providers. While it is unlikely that someone will be looking at these logs, they are in theory available to be read by the system administrator(s) of the internet service provider. Please be aware that any emails received or sent can become part of the legal record.
