Privacy policy

Evolving Minds Therapy respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and protected when you visit our website, contact the practice, or submit information through an online form.

This website Privacy Policy is separate from the privacy practices that apply to protected health information obtained in connection with therapy services.

Information you voluntarily provide in a message or form
The website or services used to operate the website may also collect limited technical information, such as browser type, device information, IP address, or general website usage information.

How We Use Your Information
Information submitted through this website may be used to:

Respond to your questions or requests

Coordinate consultation or therapy appointments

Insurance Benefits Verification
If you submit an insurance benefits verification form, the information you provide may be used to verify your eligibility, benefits, network participation, deductible, copay, coinsurance, or other information related to your behavioral health coverage.

Information may be shared with your insurance company, billing service, clearinghouse, or other entities involved in verifying benefits or processing claims when necessary.

Verification of insurance benefits is not a guarantee of coverage or payment. Your insurance company makes the final determination regarding eligibility, benefits, and payment of claims.

Website Forms & Electronic Communication
Please use caution when sending sensitive information electronically.

General website contact forms, standard email, and text messaging should not be used to communicate highly sensitive clinical information or for urgent mental health concerns.

When a designated form is provided for a specific purpose, such as insurance verification, information submitted through that form will be used for the purpose for which it was provided and handled in accordance with applicable privacy requirements.

Submitting a website form does not establish a therapist-client relationship with Evolving Minds Therapy.

Confidentiality & Therapy Services
Once you become a client of Evolving Minds Therapy, information related to your treatment is handled according to applicable federal and state privacy laws, professional ethical standards, and the practice's Notice of Privacy Practices.

Therapy records and protected health information are subject to privacy protections that are separate from this general website Privacy Policy.

There are circumstances in which disclosure of confidential information may be permitted or required by law. Additional information regarding the privacy of your health information will be provided as part of the informed consent and intake process.

Third-Party Services
Evolving Minds Therapy may use third-party services to support functions such as website hosting, appointment scheduling, electronic health records, insurance verification, billing, payment processing, website analytics, or secure communications.

Information provided to these services is subject to applicable privacy and security requirements as well as the privacy practices of the individual service provider.

Evolving Minds Therapy takes reasonable steps to select services appropriate for the type of information being handled.

Cookies & Website Analytics
This website may use cookies or similar technologies to support website functionality and understand how visitors interact with the site.

Depending on the website services in use, this may include information about pages visited, browser or device type, and general website activity.

You may be able to limit or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how some portions of the website function.

Your Privacy Choices
You may contact Evolving Minds Therapy if you have questions about personal information you have provided through this website or would like to request access to or correction of that information, as permitted by applicable law.

Certain information may need to be maintained for legal, professional, insurance, billing, or record-retention purposes and therefore may not be eligible for deletion upon request.

Protecting Your Information
Evolving Minds Therapy takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.

However, no website, electronic communication system, or method of transmitting information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

For this reason, please avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive or clinical information through general website forms or email.

Emergencies & Urgent Concerns
The Evolving Minds Therapy website, contact forms, email, and insurance verification forms are not monitored as emergency or crisis services.

Do not use website forms or email to communicate an emergency or request immediate assistance.

Changes to This Privacy Policy
Evolving Minds Therapy may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in practice operations, technology, legal requirements, or website services.

The most current version will be posted on this website with the date of the latest update.
