Privacy Policy

Therapy with Aurelie Zephir, LMFT | Transformative Healing Pathways

Effective Date: September 16, 2026

Your privacy is important to me. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and protected when you visit this website or interact with Transformative Healing Pathways through this website.

This policy applies to information collected through the website. Information that becomes part of an actual therapy relationship is handled separately in accordance with applicable health privacy requirements and the practice’s Notice of Privacy Practices, when applicable.

Information Collected Through This Website

When you visit this website, certain information may be collected automatically, including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and general website activity. This information may be collected through Squarespace, cookies, analytics tools, or similar technologies used to operate and improve the website.

If you choose to contact me or schedule a consultation, you may voluntarily provide information such as your name, email address, telephone number, and scheduling information.

Please avoid sending detailed clinical information, mental health history, or other sensitive health information through general website forms or regular email.

How Your Information May Be Used

Information collected through this website may be used to respond to inquiries, help schedule consultations, operate and improve the website, understand how visitors use the site, maintain website security, and communicate with you when you have requested contact.

Your personal information is not sold or rented to third parties.

Scheduling and SimplePractice

Therapy services, intake paperwork, client communication, telehealth sessions, and certain scheduling functions may be provided through SimplePractice.

When you leave this website and enter SimplePractice, the information you provide is subject to SimplePractice’s own privacy and security practices as well as the privacy practices that apply to my therapy practice.

Payments

Therapy payments are not processed directly through this website. Clients are required to maintain a valid payment method through the practice’s designated payment system. Clients may also have the option to make payment through Zelle.

Payment information submitted through another service is subject to that provider’s privacy and security policies.

Cookies and Website Analytics

This website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, understand website traffic, and improve the visitor experience.

Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies. Disabling certain cookies may affect how some parts of the website function.

Third Party Services and Links

This website may contain links to or use services provided by third parties, including Squarespace and SimplePractice.

Once you leave this website or interact directly with another provider, their privacy practices apply. Transformative Healing Pathways is not responsible for the privacy practices of independently operated third party websites or services.

How Information May Be Shared

Personal information collected through this website may be shared with service providers when reasonably necessary to operate the website, provide scheduling or communication services, maintain security, or comply with legal obligations.

Information may also be disclosed when required by law, court order, legal process, or when necessary to protect the rights, safety, or security of the practice or others.

Data Security

Reasonable steps are taken to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no website, electronic communication system, or method of data storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

For that reason, please do not use this website or regular email to communicate urgent, highly sensitive, or detailed clinical information.

Your Choices

You may contact the practice to ask questions about personal information you have voluntarily provided through the website or to request that information be corrected or deleted when appropriate.

You can also adjust cookie settings through your browser and unsubscribe from nonessential email communications when an unsubscribe option is provided.

Certain information may need to be retained when required by law, professional obligations, or legitimate business purposes.

Children’s Privacy

This website and my therapy services are intended for adults. This website is not designed to knowingly collect personal information directly from children.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated as the website, services, technology, or legal requirements change. The current version will be posted on this page with its effective date.
