Privacy policy.

At I Do Therapy, your privacy is very important. As a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), I follow the ethical guidelines, standards of practice, and the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA, 2004) to protect your personal health information. When you visit this website or engage in services, certain information may be collected such as your name, contact details, health history, and information you share during therapy sessions. Administrative details like scheduling or payment information, as well as non-identifiable website usage data, may also be collected.

This information is used to provide safe and effective psychotherapy services, maintain records as required by CRPO, communicate with you about appointments, and fulfill legal or professional obligations. Your information will never be sold or shared for marketing purposes. Everything discussed in therapy sessions is confidential and cannot be shared without your consent, except in situations where there is risk of harm to yourself or others, suspicion of child abuse or neglect, when records are required by law or a court order, or for supervision and quality assurance purposes where identifying information is protected.

Clinical records are kept securely for at least 10 years after the last contact, or 10 years after a minor client turns 18, as required by CRPO. Records are stored electronically in secure systems or in locked storage. You have the right to request access to your records, ask for corrections, and withdraw consent for certain uses of your information unless disclosure is required by law. If you ever have concerns about how your information is handled, you may contact me directly or file a complaint with the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario.

Please note that email and website forms may not always be fully secure, so it is recommended to use discretion when sharing sensitive information electronically. For virtual therapy sessions, secure and encrypted platforms are used to protect your privacy.

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to ensure compliance with CRPO standards and privacy laws. The most current version will always be available on this website.:
