If you contact us through our website contact form, we may collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, preferred contact method, and the contents of your message.

Please avoid including sensitive personal information, detailed mental health information, or other confidential clinical details in website forms or ordinary email. The website contact form is intended for general inquiries, not emergencies or ongoing clinical communication.

Submitting a message through our website does not establish a therapist-client relationship.
