Website Privacy Policy
Effective Date: September 23, 2026
Mind, Medicine & Meaning (“MMM,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the information you share with us.
Information We Collect
We may collect information you voluntarily provide through this website, including your name, phone number, email address, preferred method of contact, and information submitted through contact or appointment-request forms. Our website may also collect limited technical information necessary for website operation, security, and performance.
Health Information
Please do not submit sensitive medical, psychiatric, or other protected health information through general website forms or email unless specifically instructed to do so through an approved secure method.
If information we receive is protected health information (“PHI”), our use and disclosure of that information will be governed by applicable federal and state privacy laws, including HIPAA when applicable, and our Notice of Privacy Practices.
How We Use Information
Information submitted through this website may be used to:
Respond to your inquiry or request for services
Contact you regarding scheduling or services
Operate and improve our website and practice
Meet legal, regulatory, security, and professional obligations
We do not sell patient health information.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party technology providers to operate our website, forms, scheduling systems, communications, or other practice functions. Where required by law, appropriate privacy and security protections and Business Associate Agreements will be used.
Website Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect information. However, no website, email system, or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Contact Forms and Email
Website forms and email should not be used for emergencies, urgent clinical concerns, or time-sensitive medical or mental-health needs. Submission of a website form does not establish a physician-patient or therapist-client relationship and does not guarantee acceptance as a patient or client.
Your Privacy Rights
Patients may have additional rights regarding their health information. Please review our Notice of Privacy Practices for information about those rights and how MMM uses and discloses protected health information.
