Your personal information is used solely for these purposes. It is never sold or shared for marketing.

If you choose to begin therapy, the information you share in that context becomes Protected Health Information (PHI) under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). All PHI is safeguarded in accordance with federal and state privacy laws.
