Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 14, 2026

Teresa Guzman, LLC respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share through this website. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored, and protected when you visit tguzmancounseling.com or contact the practice through this website.

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through this website. It does not replace the practice’s HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, informed consent documents, or any privacy policies used by third-party platforms for scheduling, billing, insurance verification, telehealth, or electronic health records.

Information We May Collect

When you use this website, we may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including your name, phone number, email address, and any message you submit through a contact form, email link, scheduling link, or inquiry form.

We may also collect basic website usage information, such as browser type, device type, pages visited, referring websites, and general analytics data. This information helps us understand how visitors use the website and improve the user experience.

How Your Information May Be Used

Information submitted through this website may be used to respond to inquiries, provide information about services, schedule consultations, verify service availability, improve website content, and maintain appropriate business records.

Please do not submit emergency, crisis, or highly sensitive clinical information through this website. Website contact forms and email are not intended for urgent mental health needs.

Protected Health Information

If you become a client of Teresa Guzman, LLC, certain information related to your care may be considered Protected Health Information under HIPAA. Protected Health Information is handled according to applicable privacy laws, professional ethics, and the practice’s HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.

Clinical information, treatment records, diagnosis information, insurance information, and therapy-related documentation are not governed solely by this Website Privacy Policy. They are addressed through separate clinical consent forms, platform policies, and HIPAA-related notices.

Third-Party Platforms

This website may link to third-party platforms used for scheduling, telehealth, billing, insurance verification, forms, or client communication. These platforms may include electronic health record systems, insurance billing platforms, telehealth platforms, or other practice management tools.

When you click a third-party link, you are leaving this website. Teresa Guzman, LLC is not responsible for the privacy practices, security practices, or content of third-party websites or platforms. Please review the privacy policy of any third-party platform before submitting personal or health-related information.

Cookies and Website Analytics

This website may use cookies or similar technologies to improve website performance, understand visitor activity, and support basic website functionality. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites remember preferences or analyze usage.

You may disable cookies through your browser settings. Some website features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

Email and Contact Form Communication

Communication through website forms or standard email may not be fully secure. By submitting information through this website, you understand that there may be privacy risks associated with electronic communication.

Submitting a contact form, sending an email, or leaving a voicemail does not establish a therapist-client relationship. A therapist-client relationship is established only after appropriate consent forms are completed, services are accepted, and an appointment is confirmed.

How Information May Be Shared

Teresa Guzman, LLC does not sell personal information submitted through this website.

Information may be shared only when necessary to respond to your request, operate the practice, comply with legal obligations, protect safety, coordinate with authorized third-party service providers, or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

Data Security

Reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards are used to protect personal information. However, no website, email system, or electronic communication method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

If you are concerned about privacy, you may contact the practice directly by phone instead of submitting sensitive information online.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not intended to collect personal information from children without appropriate parent or guardian consent. If you believe a child has submitted information through this website without proper consent, please contact the practice so the information can be reviewed and removed if appropriate.

Emergency Disclaimer

This website is not monitored for emergencies. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, medical emergency, or risk of harm to yourself or others, call 988, call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room.

Your Privacy Rights

You may contact Teresa Guzman, LLC to request information about how your website-submitted information is used or to request correction or deletion of information, when appropriate and legally permitted.

Clients receiving clinical services may have additional rights related to Protected Health Information, which are explained in the practice’s HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.

Updates to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in website practices, legal requirements, or business operations. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
