Privacy Policy
Ashley Young Counseling & Therapy is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring your personal information is handled with care. This policy explains how I collect, use, and protect your information, consistent with Nebraska confidentiality laws for mental health professionals.
Information We Collect
When you contact us through our website, we may collect:
• Your name
• Your phone number
• Your email address
• Any brief messages or inquiries you include in the contact form
We do not collect or store insurance information through this website.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
• Respond to your messages or inquiries
• Communicate about appointment scheduling or services
• Maintain contact records for administrative purposes
Your information will never be sold or used for marketing outside of direct communication initiated by you.
Confidentiality and Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information and maintain confidentiality. However, please note that no online communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Because our website is hosted on Wix, data submitted through the contact form is stored and transmitted through Wix’s secure servers.
To help protect your privacy, please avoid including highly sensitive personal or clinical details in your message.
Legal and Ethical Confidentiality Standards
Information you share in therapy sessions (once established as a client) is protected under Nebraska state law and professional ethics.
Exceptions to confidentiality may occur if:
• You are at imminent risk of harming yourself or someone else
• There is suspected abuse or neglect of a child, elderly person, or vulnerable adult
• Information is required by court order or other legal process
These exceptions are guided by Nebraska statutes, including Neb. Rev. Stat. § 27-504 (psychotherapist-client privilege) and relevant mental health practice laws.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
• Request access to the contact information you’ve provided
• Ask for corrections or deletion of your personal information, as allowed by law
• Request a copy of this Privacy Policy at any time
Record Retention
Messages and contact information received through the website may be stored for documentation and administrative purposes. Information is retained only as long as necessary and is securely deleted when no longer needed.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. Updates will be posted on this webpage with a revised “last updated” date.
