At Your Self Care Counseling, your privacy is important to me. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and protected when you visit this website or contact my practice.

  • Your name

  • Email address

  • Telephone number

  • Information about your counseling needs

  • Insurance information (if applicable)

How Your Information Is Used

Once you become a client, your protected health information is handled in accordance with applicable federal and Florida privacy laws, including HIPAA, and my Notice of Privacy Practices.

Third-Party Services

This website may contain links to third-party websites or use third-party services for scheduling, forms, payments, or other functions. These providers have their own privacy policies, and I encourage you to review them before providing personal information.

Data Security

Reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards are used to help protect the information submitted through this website. However, no method of electronic transmission or internet storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
