Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 26, 2026

​

Mindful Freedom Psychological Services ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting any personal information you share with us through this website.

​

Information We Collect

When you contact us by email, we collect only the information you voluntarily provide: your name, email address, phone number, and any message content you choose to share. We do not collect sensitive health information through this website.

​

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you submit solely to respond to your inquiry, schedule an initial consultation, or provide information about our services. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

​

Protected Health Information (PHI)

This website is not intended for the transmission of Protected Health Information as defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Please do not share clinical details, diagnoses, or other sensitive health information through the email. Confidential clinical communication takes place only through secure, HIPAA-compliant channels established after you become a client.

​

Confidentiality

All communications with Mindful Freedom Psychological Services are treated with the utmost confidentiality, in accordance with Florida law and the ethical standards of the American Psychological Association. Limits to confidentiality (such as risk of harm to self or others, or suspected abuse of a minor or vulnerable adult) will be discussed at your first appointment.

​

Data Security and Retention

Email to this practice is received through Proton Mail and Google Workspace, which encrypt messages in transit and in storage. Inquiries sent through this website are kept only as long as needed to respond and are then deleted. Client records are retained as required by Florida law and professional standards. This practice does not maintain psychotherapy notes separate from the clinical record.

​

Cookies and Website Analytics

This website uses only the cookies it needs to load and function. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not run analytics on visitors. When you first visit, a cookie notice lets you review the cookies in use and record your choice. The main cookies utilized are directly through Wix and Cloudfare. You can also disable or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time.

​

Third-Party Services

This website is hosted on the Wix platform, which may collect technical data such as IP addresses and browser information as part of its standard operation. Please review Wix's privacy policy for more information. The site also loads an on-screen accessibility toolbar (text size, contrast, spacing) from an outside provider so that it is available to anyone who needs it. It stores only the display setting you choose and is not used for advertising.
