Legal and Privacy
An overview of every notice and policy, and what each one actually governs.
Most people reach a page like this for one of two reasons. Either something specific needs checking before going further, or something has already happened and there is a question about what the practice is obliged to do. Both are reasonable and neither should require reading seven documents to answer.
These documents govern a practice treating love obsession and love addiction, compulsive sexual behavior and sex addiction, and sexual trauma, which is why several of them go further on confidentiality than a general business would need to. Each summary below says what its document is for in a sentence, so the right one can be opened directly. Two things worth knowing before any of it: these are the documents governing this website and the business behind it, and none of them is the service agreement, which is a separate document signed before clinical care begins and is not published here.
Seven Documents, Three Groups
How This Section Is Organized
The grouping is by what a document governs: health information, the website itself, or how to raise something formally. Every document carries its own effective date at the top, and a revision means a new date on that document rather than a silent edit.
Nothing on this page is legal advice, and nothing on it replaces reading the document itself.
Health information, and the rights attached to it.
The document required by federal law, covering how protected health information is used and disclosed, the special protection covering psychotherapy notes, and the rights every client holds over their own record.
This website, and what using it means.
What the site collects, what agreeing to use it commits a visitor to, what the content on it is and is not, and how the site is built to be usable.
