When you receive services from us, we may collect information such as your name, contact information, health history, appointment details, billing information, insurance information, and treatment-related information. This may also include information you share with us through our website, email, phone calls, intake forms, telehealth platforms, or in-person sessions.

We protect this information as required by law and only use or share it in ways that are allowed under HIPAA and other applicable privacy laws.

How We May Use Your Information

We may use your information for the following purposes:

• Treatment. To provide therapy services, coordinate your care, or consult with other health care professionals involved in your treatment.
