Your privacy is important to me. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and protect information when you visit this website or contact me about therapy services. Please read this policy carefully.

 

1. Who this applies to

This policy applies to all visitors to this website and individuals who contact Kasey Barret, LCSW regarding therapy, consultation, other clinical services, coaching, or reiki.

• Technical information automatically collected by website hosting platforms, such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited (see Section 6)

 

I do not collect sensitive health or clinical information through this website. Any clinical information shared during a consultation or treatment is governed by a separate Notice of Privacy Practices and applicable HIPAA regulations.

4. Confidentiality and HIPAA

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am bound by state and federal confidentiality laws, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and Connecticut state law. Once a clinical relationship is established, a full Notice of Privacy Practices will be provided that explains your rights and my obligations with respect to your protected health information.

 

Please note: Email and website contact forms are not fully secure or HIPAA-compliant methods of communication. Please do not include sensitive clinical or personal health information in any message submitted through this website.

6. Website Analytics and Third-Party Platforms

This website may be hosted on or use third-party platforms (such as a website builder or scheduling tool) that collect limited technical data, including cookies, usage data, and device information, for functionality and analytics purposes. I do not control these platforms' data practices. Please refer to the privacy policies of those platforms for more information.

 

I do not use tracking technologies for advertising purposes.
