A Note About Privacy

At Tranquility Counseling LLC, your privacy matters. Whether you're simply browsing this website or reaching out about therapy, I am committed to handling your information respectfully and responsibly.

Effective Date: October 3, 2026  ·  Last Updated: October 3, 2026

Visiting this website or submitting a contact form does not establish a therapist-client relationship.

This page explains what information may be collected through this website, how it is used, and how it is protected.

Information You Choose to Share

If you contact me through this website, you may choose to provide information such as your name, email address, phone number, or a brief note about what brings you to therapy.

This information is used only to respond to your inquiry, answer questions, verify insurance eligibility, or help determine whether I may be a good fit for your needs.

I do not sell, rent, or share your personal information for marketing purposes — ever.

Website Analytics

Like most websites, this site may collect limited technical information — such as browser type, device type, general geographic region, pages visited, and performance data. This information helps improve how the site works and is not used to identify individual visitors.

Email and Contact Form

This website's contact form is transmitted through FormSubmit and delivered to my secure practice email. Standard email and website contact forms are not fully encrypted methods of communication. Please avoid including highly sensitive medical, psychiatric, or confidential details through the contact form.

This website and contact form are not monitored 24 hours a day and should not be used for emergencies. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please call 911, go to your nearest emergency room, or call or text 988.

Therapy Services and HIPAA

This website is not a HIPAA-covered communication channel. Please do not share protected health information — such as diagnoses, medications, or sensitive clinical details — through the contact form.

If you become a client, your protected health information is governed by separate clinical privacy practices, including HIPAA requirements and the Notice of Privacy Practices provided during intake. All clinical sessions are conducted through a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform.

Third-Party Services

This website uses the following services, each with their own privacy practices:

  • Webflow — website hosting
  • FormSubmit — contact form processing (does not store submissions long-term)
  • TherapyPortal — HIPAA-compliant client scheduling and secure messaging
  • YouTube — embedded video content
  • Headway & Alma — insurance verification and billing
  • Psychology Today & social media platforms — external directory and profile links

I am not responsible for the privacy practices of these services and encourage you to review their policies if you have questions.

Cookies

This website may use cookies or similar technologies to improve functionality and understand how visitors use the site. You may disable cookies through your browser settings at any time.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically as website features, technology, or legal requirements change. The most current version will always be posted on this page.
