As a licensed provider, Safe Space Counseling follows HIPAA. Information about substance use treatment has additional protection under federal law (42 CFR Part 2). Under these rules, you have the right to:
- See and get a copy of your health records
- Ask to correct information you believe is wrong or incomplete
- Ask to be contacted in a specific way, such as a certain phone number or address
- Ask to limit what is used or shared
- Get a list of the times your information has been shared, and with whom
- Get a paper copy of the full notice at any time
- File a complaint if you believe your rights have been violated, without any retaliation
Your information is shared only as the law allows, for example with your written permission, for treatment and payment, or when required to keep someone safe.

When you use the contact form, it collects only what you type in: your name, phone, email, what you're interested in, and any message. That information is used only to reply to you and schedule care. It is never sold or shared for marketing.
Please don't include detailed health information in the form. We'll talk privately once we connect.
