When you use the contact form on this website, I collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, and any message you choose to share. I do not request or store sensitive health information through this website’s contact form.
Cookies & Analytics
This website uses cookies and Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site and to improve the user experience.

Third-Party Services
This website links to SimplePractice for scheduling consultations and appointments. Any information you provide directly through SimplePractice is governed by SimplePractice’s own privacy policy, not this one. I encourage you to review their policy before booking.
How I Use Your Information
Information submitted through the contact form is used solely to respond to your inquiry. I do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Data Security
I take reasonable steps to protect the information submitted through this website. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. Please do not include sensitive health information in the contact form — this can be discussed directly during a consultation call.

You may request that I delete any information you’ve submitted through this website by contacting me at therapy@nicoletrister.com.
