8. Important Notice Regarding Therapy Services and Confidential Information

Website visitors should not use this Website, website contact forms, general email, or scheduling platforms to submit urgent mental health concerns, crisis information, medical information, trauma history, or other sensitive clinical information.
If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please contact emergency services, call or text **988** (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), or seek assistance from an appropriate emergency resource.
9. Website Forms, Email, and Scheduling Communications

When scheduling through Calendly, individuals are asked not to include confidential clinical information in scheduling notes or appointment descriptions.

Path to Growth Therapy, LLC is committed to protecting client confidentiality and complying with applicable privacy obligations.
For psychotherapy clients, protected health information (PHI) is handled according to applicable healthcare privacy laws, professional ethical requirements, and the policies provided during the client onboarding process.
Certain healthcare-related information may be protected under HIPAA when created, received, or maintained in connection with healthcare services. However, not every interaction with this Website creates HIPAA-protected information
For example:
* A website visit alone does not create a therapist-client relationship.
* A general contact form inquiry is not a substitute for secure clinical communication.
* Website analytics information is generally treated as website usage information rather than clinical information.
Clients should refer to their Notice of Privacy Practices and client agreements for additional information regarding healthcare privacy rights.

Path to Growth Therapy, LLC may use third-party platforms to support service delivery, including but not limited to:
* Zoom (with applicable business associate protections where required)

* Other secure healthcare platforms as needed
These platforms may collect, process, or store information necessary to provide services.
Path to Growth Therapy, LLC takes reasonable steps to select platforms designed to support confidentiality and security requirements. However, no electronic system can guarantee absolute security.
Clients are responsible for maintaining the security of their own devices, passwords, email accounts, and internet connections.
