Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 16, 2026

Vela Women’s Mental Health respects your privacy and is committed to being thoughtful about the information collected through this website.

Information You Choose to Provide

You may choose to provide information when you:

  • Submit a contact or inquiry form

  • Request an appointment

  • Send an email

  • Access a client portal or scheduling platform

  • Otherwise communicate with Vela Women’s Mental Health

Please avoid including detailed clinical, medical, or highly sensitive information in a general website contact form unless the form is specifically designated as secure.

Information Collected Automatically

Like many websites, this site may collect limited technical information about your visit, such as browser type, device information, pages visited, referring website, and general website usage information.

Some website platforms also use cookies or similar technologies to help the website function or understand how visitors use the site.

Vela Women’s Psychotherapy does not sell your personal information.

Health Information

Information collected as part of an established therapist-client relationship may be protected by federal and state privacy laws, including HIPAA when applicable.

The handling of protected health information is described separately in the Notice of Privacy Practices.

Submitting a website inquiry does not by itself establish a therapist-client relationship.

Third-Party Services

This website may link to or use third-party services for scheduling, client portals, payments, forms, analytics, or other functions.

Those services may maintain their own privacy practices and terms. Vela Women’s Psychotherapy takes reasonable steps to use appropriate services for information that may involve protected health information.

Website Security

Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information submitted through this website. However, no internet transmission or electronic communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
