Privacy & Professional Disclosure

Last Updated: May 20, 2026

Welcome to Heal From Trauma. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado, I believe that privacy and confidentiality are the foundations of a safe therapeutic relationship. This policy explains how information is handled on this website.

1. Website Data & Tracking

To prioritize your privacy, this website is designed to be a “low-data” environment:

  • No Internal Storage: This website does not store, save, or “harvest” any personal data you enter.

  • No Third-Party Cookies: We do not use tracking cookies for the purpose of targeted advertising or behavioral profiling.

  • Global Privacy Control (GPC): This site honors GPC and “Do Not Track” signals sent by your browser.

2. Contact Form & Encryption (Hushmail)

When you use the contact form on this site to inquire about services:

  • Encryption: Your message is sent directly to a HIPAA-compliant, encrypted Hushmail account.

  • Data Flow: Once you hit “Send,” the data is no longer on the website; it exists only within the secure, encrypted email environment.

  • Purpose: I use this information solely to respond to your inquiry and determine if my clinical expertise is a fit for your trauma-recovery needs.

3. Sensitive Demographic Information

In our “About” page and mission, we highlight the importance of culturally competent care. You may choose to share demographic information (such as race, gender identity, or disability status) in your inquiry.

  • Consent: By providing this information in the contact form, you give affirmative consent for me to process it to better understand your specific needs.

  • Protection: This data is never sold, shared with marketers, or used for “automated decision-making.”

4. Colorado LPC & HIPAA Disclosures

  • Jurisdiction: I am licensed by the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA), License #[Insert Your Number]. My services are provided only to individuals located within the State of Colorado.

  • HIPAA Compliance: My practice follows all federal HIPAA guidelines and the 2026 updates regarding the confidentiality of mental health and Substance Use Disorder records.

  • No Therapist-Client Relationship: Please note that contacting me through this website or via email does not establish a formal therapist-client relationship. A relationship is only formed after an intake session and a signed Informed Consent for Treatment.

5. Your 2026 Privacy Rights

Regardless of your location, we honor the standards of the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA):

  • Right to Access/Correct: You may ask what information I have received from your website inquiry.

  • Right to Delete: You may request that I delete your contact email from my records (unless a clinical relationship has been established, in which case Colorado DORA record-retention laws apply).
