3. Therapy-Specific Confidentiality

If you become a therapy client, your information is protected under PHIPA (in Canada) or applicable local privacy and health regulations. This includes session notes, health records, and communication as part of your treatment.

We take reasonable precautions to protect your information, but please be aware:

No online platform is 100% secure.

Communication via email or contact forms is not encrypted and should not include sensitive clinical information.

Once you become a client, secure messaging and documentation are used through our encrypted client portal.
