Effective October 1, 2026

Clara Psychotherapy LLC (“Clara Psychotherapy,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, maintained, and disclosed when you visit clarapsychotherapy.com (the “Website”), contact us, subscribe to our emails, or follow a link from the Website to a third-party service.

This Policy Does Not Govern Clinical Records

This Privacy Policy applies to the Website and general business communications. It is not Clara Psychotherapy’s Notice of Privacy Practices and does not describe all practices involving protected health information created or maintained in connection with psychotherapy services.

Clients receive separate clinical documents, including applicable privacy notices and informed-consent materials. Those documents govern clinical records and psychotherapy services.

Submitting a website inquiry, joining the email list, sending an email, or scheduling a consultation does not by itself establish a therapist-client relationship.

Information You Provide

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including:

• Your name

• Email address

• Telephone number

• Information included in an inquiry or message

• Newsletter subscription preferences

• Information necessary to respond to your request

• Any other information you choose to provide

Please do not use the Website, newsletter form, or ordinary email to submit detailed clinical information, diagnoses, medical records, Social Security numbers, payment-card information, or other highly sensitive information.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Website, Squarespace and other service providers used to operate or protect the Website may automatically collect certain technical information. This may include:

• Internet Protocol address

• Browser and device type

• Operating system

• Referring and exit pages

• Pages viewed and actions taken

• Approximate location derived from an IP address

• Date, time, and duration of a visit

• Cookie and similar technology information

This information may be used to operate, secure, maintain, and understand the performance of the Website.

How We Use Information

We may use collected information to:

• Respond to questions and inquiries

• Provide information about services

• Facilitate consultation requests

• Send requested newsletters or other communications

• Maintain and improve the Website

• Understand general Website usage

• Detect abuse, fraud, or security issues

• Maintain business records

• Comply with legal, regulatory, licensing, or professional obligations

• Protect the rights, safety, and property of Clara Psychotherapy and others

We do not use a general Website inquiry as a substitute for clinical assessment, diagnosis, treatment, or emergency care.

Newsletter and Email Communications

If you subscribe to the Clara Psychotherapy email list, we may use your email address to send newsletters, updates, educational material, or information about the practice.

You may unsubscribe through the link included in a marketing email. Transactional or individually requested communications may still be sent when necessary to respond to you.

Email is not guaranteed to be secure. Please avoid sending sensitive clinical information through ordinary email.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website may use cookies and similar technologies required for site functionality, security, fraud prevention, preferences, analytics, and form operation.

You can control some cookies through your browser settings and, when available, the Website’s cookie controls. Blocking cookies may cause portions of the Website to function differently or become unavailable.

Clara Psychotherapy does not knowingly use information collected through this Website to sell personal information or for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Squarespace

This Website is hosted and operated using Squarespace. Squarespace may process technical, usage, form, subscriber, and other information as a service provider supporting the Website.

Squarespace’s handling of information is also governed by its own terms and privacy notices.

Adobe Fonts

This Website uses Adobe Fonts to display certain typefaces. When you visit the Website, your browser connects to Adobe’s servers to load those fonts. Adobe may receive technical information such as the fonts served, the Website hostname, and your IP address for font delivery. Adobe states that it does not store the IP address received for this purpose. Adobe’s handling of information is governed by its own privacy policies.

Consultation Scheduling and SimplePractice

Consultation and scheduling links may take you to SimplePractice, a third-party practice-management platform. Information submitted directly to SimplePractice is processed through that service and is subject to the notices, terms, and clinical policies presented there.

Clara Psychotherapy does not control every aspect of a third-party platform’s operation.

Google reCAPTCHA

Forms on the Website may use Google reCAPTCHA to reduce spam and abuse. When reCAPTCHA is active, Google may collect device, browser, interaction, cookie, and related technical information. Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply to its processing of that information.

When Information May Be Disclosed

We may disclose information:

• To service providers that help host, operate, secure, maintain, or support the Website and our communications

• When you direct or authorize us to do so

• When reasonably necessary to respond to your request

• When required by law, subpoena, court order, regulatory requirement, or professional obligation

• To protect the rights, safety, security, or property of Clara Psychotherapy, a Website visitor, or another person

• In connection with a business reorganization, transfer, or similar transaction, subject to applicable legal and professional requirements

Service providers are permitted to access information only as appropriate to perform services for us or as otherwise allowed by law and their applicable agreements.

Clara Psychotherapy does not sell personal information.

Information Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to requests, provide requested communications, maintain business and security records, resolve disputes, and meet legal, licensing, contractual, and professional obligations.

Retention of clinical records is governed separately by applicable law and Clara Psychotherapy’s clinical policies.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information. However, no website, email system, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

For that reason, please do not submit sensitive clinical or financial information through general Website forms or ordinary email.

Your Privacy Choices

You may:

• Unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in an email

• Adjust cookie permissions through your browser or available Website controls

• Ask us to correct or delete certain information you have provided

• Ask questions about how your Website information is handled

Depending on where you reside and which laws apply, you may have additional rights concerning access, correction, deletion, or restriction of certain personal information. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. We will not discriminate against you for making a lawful privacy request.

To submit a request, email maegan@clarapsychotherapy.com with “Privacy Request” in the subject line.

Children’s Privacy

The Website and Clara Psychotherapy’s services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information through the Website from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the Website, please contact us so that we can review and, when appropriate, delete it.

Third-Party Websites

The Website may contain links to websites and services that Clara Psychotherapy does not own or control. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, availability, accuracy, or content of those third-party services. Review their policies before submitting information.

Visitors Outside the United States

The Website is operated from the United States. If you access it from another country, your information may be processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your location.

Accessing the Website from another location does not mean psychotherapy services are available in that location.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our Website, services, vendors, or legal obligations change. The updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
