  • Communication: We use Spruce Health for secure phone, text, and fax communications.

  • Telehealth: Video sessions are conducted through secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms such as Spruce Health or Psychology Today.

  • Billing & Insurance: For clients using insurance, I may partner with third-party billing and credentialing platforms to process claims and verify eligibility. These partners are HIPAA-compliant and are only provided with the information necessary to facilitate payment and documentation.

5. Cookies & Tracking

This website may use "cookies" to enhance your experience. These are small files stored on your device that help me understand site traffic. You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect how some parts of the Site function.

6. Data Security

I take the security of your personal and health information seriously and take reasonable steps to protect your information from unauthorized access. I encourage you to be mindful of the information you share in contact forms. Moonrise Pathways and our professional partners (such as Sessions Health and Spruce Health) utilize encryption, secure storage, and other protective measures to ensure the confidentiality of your data.

Your sessions, communications, and information are kept secure through:

  • Encryption of teletherapy sessions and digital communications.

  • Limiting access to only authorized personnel involved in your care or billing.

In the event of a data breach, you will be notified in accordance with applicable state and federal laws.
