Use of Website & No Therapeutic Relationship

The information provided on this website is for general informational purposes only and is not intended as medical, mental health, or psychological advice. Accessing or using this website, submitting a contact form, or sending an inquiry does not establish a therapist-client relationship.

A therapist-client relationship is only established after completion of required intake documentation and mutual agreement to begin treatment.

HIPAA & Confidentiality Notice

SD Psychotherapy is committed to protecting your privacy and maintaining confidentiality in accordance with applicable laws, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), where applicable.

Please note:

Information submitted through this website (such as contact forms or emails) is not considered protected health information (PHI) under HIPAA until a formal therapeutic relationship is established.
You are encouraged not to submit sensitive or confidential clinical information through website forms or general email.
Once you become a client, privacy and confidentiality practices will be governed by our Notice of Privacy Practices, provided during intake.

For more information, please review our Privacy Policy.

Telehealth Disclaimer

SD Psychotherapy offers telehealth services in states where clinicians are appropriately licensed. Telehealth services are provided through secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms once a therapeutic relationship has been established.

By engaging in telehealth services, you acknowledge and understand that:

Telehealth may have limitations related to technology, privacy, or connectivity.
You are responsible for ensuring you are in a private, secure location during sessions.
Telehealth is not appropriate for emergency situations. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, call 911 or your local emergency services, or go to the nearest emergency room.

Telehealth services are subject to state licensing laws and professional regulations.
