Your privacy is important to us and we are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Notice outlines how we collect, use, store, and protect any information you provide through this website.

Information We Collect

When you visit this website, we may collect certain personal information that you voluntarily provide, including but not limited to your name, email address, phone number, and any details you share through contact forms, inquiry submissions, or appointment requests. We may also collect non-personal information such as browser type, device information, and website usage data through cookies and similar tracking technologies in order to improve your experience on our website.

Confidentiality

We take the confidentiality of your personal and clinical information extremely seriously. Any information shared within a therapeutic relationship is protected by professional ethical standards and applicable privacy laws, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act — commonly known as HIPAA — where applicable. Information shared in a therapeutic context will not be disclosed to any third party without your written consent, except in circumstances required or permitted by law, such as when there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or when disclosure is required by a court order.

No Guarantee of Outcome

We believe deeply in the value and transformative potential of therapy and counseling. However, it is important that all prospective and current clients understand that therapy is a deeply personal process and that outcomes can vary significantly from person to person.

Engaging in therapy or counseling services — whether individual, couples, group, or any other format — does not guarantee specific results, improvements, or outcomes of any kind. The effectiveness of therapy depends on a wide range of factors that are unique to each individual, including but not limited to the nature and severity of the presenting concerns, personal history and life circumstances, level of engagement and commitment to the therapeutic process, consistency of attendance, willingness to apply insights and skills outside of sessions, and the presence of any co-occurring medical or mental health conditions.

While many individuals experience meaningful and lasting positive change through therapy, we cannot and do not promise or guarantee that you will achieve any particular outcome, reach a specific goal, or experience improvement within a defined period of time. Therapy is a collaborative process that requires active participation, openness, and patience, and progress may not always follow a linear or predictable path.

Additionally, therapy may at times involve exploring difficult emotions, memories, or experiences that can feel uncomfortable or challenging before improvement is felt. This is a normal and often necessary part of the healing process, and your therapist will work with you to ensure you feel supported throughout.

If at any point you feel that the therapy you are receiving is not meeting your needs, we strongly encourage you to discuss this openly with your therapist. Adjustments to the therapeutic approach, frequency of sessions, or referral to another provider or specialist can always be explored in the interest of your wellbeing.

By engaging with our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this statement and that you enter into the therapeutic relationship with realistic expectations about the nature and potential outcomes of therapy.
