Third-Party Platforms
We may use third-party service providers to support functions such as website hosting, online forms, scheduling, email and text communications, analytics, advertising measurement, and other business operations.
These providers may process limited information as necessary to provide their services to us and are subject to their own privacy practices and applicable contractual requirements.

If you become a client, information related to your treatment may be subject to additional federal and state privacy protections. Our Notice of Privacy Practices provides additional information regarding how protected health information may be used, disclosed, and safeguarded in connection with clinical services.
This website Privacy Policy does not replace our Notice of Privacy Practices or your informed consent for treatment.
