Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 27, 2026

At The Village Mental Health Group, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy outlines how we handle information collected through our website.

1. Information We Collect We collect personal information (such as name and email) only when voluntarily submitted through our contact forms or newsletter signup. Our website also uses cookies to analyze traffic and improve your browsing experience.

2. Clinical Privacy (HIPAA) For clients engaging in clinical therapy, your health information is protected under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). A formal Notice of Privacy Practices will be provided to you via our secure client portal (Sessions Health) during your intake process. This website policy does not replace or override HIPAA protections for clinical clients.

3. Third-Party Services We use Squarespace to host our website and Sessions Health to manage our secure client portal. These platforms have their own privacy standards to ensure your data is handled safely.

4. Coaching vs. Therapy Please note that while our coaching services maintain a high standard of confidentiality, they are not governed by HIPAA in the same manner as clinical therapy. We maintain separate records for coaching and therapy to ensure clarity and compliance.

5. Your Rights You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you or to ask that we delete your contact information from our marketing lists.
