Privacy Policy

We may collect the following categories of information:

Information You Provide Directly: such as your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any details you share through our contact forms, appointment requests, newsletter sign-up, giveaways or promotions, or email correspondence.

Client and Prospective Client Information: if you inquire about services, this may include your child's age or grade, general reason for inquiry, and insurance or payment information relevant to scheduling. Clinical and health-related information shared during intake or treatment is governed by our Notice of Privacy Practices and applicable HIPAA and California confidentiality laws, not this Site policy.

Automatically Collected Information: when you visit our Site, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring URLs, and the date and time of your visit, typically through cookies and similar analytics technologies.

Social Media Interactions: if you interact with our practice through Instagram or other social platforms (for example, giveaways, comments, or direct messages), those platforms collect information under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to inquiries and schedule appointments or consultations
• Communicate with you about our services, workshops, groups, and events
• Send newsletters or marketing communications, where you have opted in
• Administer promotions, giveaways, and webinars
• Maintain, improve, and secure our Site and its functionality
• Comply with applicable legal, licensing, and regulatory obligations
• Understand how visitors use our Site so we can improve content and user experience

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use website visitor data to make decisions about clinical care. Clinical decisions are based solely on information gathered through the intake and evaluation process.

Our Site may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as website analytics tools) to understand visitor traffic and improve our content. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; however, some Site features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

We may share limited information with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our practice and Site, such as website hosting, email and newsletter platforms, scheduling and electronic health record (EHR) systems, payment processors, and telehealth platforms. These providers are authorized to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us and are contractually or legally obligated to protect it. Providers who may access PHI in connection with clinical services do so under Business Associate Agreements consistent with HIPAA.

Our Site is intended for use by parents, guardians, and adult visitors, not for direct use by children. While our clinical services are frequently provided to children and adolescents, all such information is collected through the intake and treatment process with parent or guardian consent, and is protected under our Notice of Privacy Practices rather than through general Site data collection.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Clinical and health information is maintained in accordance with HIPAA security standards. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain website inquiry and marketing information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Clinical records are retained in accordance with California record retention requirements for psychological and educational assessment records.

Depending on your location and applicable law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), you may have the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of certain personal information
• Opt out of marketing communications at any time (for example, by using the "unsubscribe" link in our emails)
• Ask us not to share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below. Please note that certain clinical and billing records may be exempt from deletion requests due to legal and professional recordkeeping obligations.

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites or resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies directly.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. The "Effective Date" at the top of this policy indicates when it was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or your personal information, please contact us:
