Privacy Policy
Effective Date: September 1, 2026
Last Updated: September 1, 2026
Laura Long Therapy Services, LLC (“Laura Long Therapy Services,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and disclosed when you visit our website, interact with features available through the website, or follow links to third-party services.
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through this website. It does not replace or modify any privacy notices, informed consent documents, or other agreements that may apply if you become a psychotherapy client, clinical supervisee, or consulting client.
Information You Provide
You may choose to provide information when you contact us, schedule a consultation, complete a form, or otherwise interact with services accessible through this website.
Please do not submit sensitive clinical or confidential information through general website forms, ordinary email, or other communication methods unless you have been specifically instructed that the method is appropriate for that information.
Submitting an inquiry or scheduling a consultation does not establish a therapist-client, supervisor-supervisee, or consulting relationship.
Information Collected Automatically
Like many websites, this website and the services used to operate it may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit.
Depending on the technologies in use, this information may include:
browser and device information;
operating system;
pages visited;
referring website or source;
approximate geographic location;
date and time of visits;
interactions with website features;
cookie or similar technology identifiers; and
other information about how visitors use the website.
This information may be used to operate the website, understand how visitors use it, improve website performance and content, maintain security, and evaluate the effectiveness of our website.
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors find and use the website.
Google Analytics may collect information such as pages visited, session activity, browser and device information, approximate geographic location, and information stored through cookies or similar technologies.
We use this information to better understand overall website traffic and improve the usefulness and performance of the website. We do not intentionally send names, email addresses, clinical information, or other directly identifying information to Google Analytics.
Google's collection and use of information through Google Analytics is governed by Google's own terms and privacy practices.
You may be able to limit or block cookies and certain analytics technologies through your browser settings and other privacy controls.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
This website and third-party services used through it may use cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies are small files stored on your device that can help websites function, remember preferences, measure website usage, and provide other functionality.
Some cookies may be necessary for website functionality, while others may be used for analytics or by third-party services.
Your browser may allow you to block, delete, or restrict cookies. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some website features.
Discernment Counseling Quiz
This website may offer an interactive Discernment Counseling quiz through Tally, a third-party form provider.
The quiz is intended to provide general educational information and help visitors consider whether Discernment Counseling may be relevant to their situation. The quiz is not psychotherapy, assessment, diagnosis, or individualized clinical advice.
We do not intentionally request your name, email address, telephone number, or other directly identifying information as part of the quiz unless clearly disclosed at the time.
Tally may process technical or usage information in connection with operation of its platform. Information processed by Tally is also subject to Tally's own privacy practices.
Because the quiz is not intended as a means of communicating confidential information to Laura Long Therapy Services, please do not enter names, detailed clinical histories, or other sensitive identifying information into quiz responses.
Scheduling and Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services, including SimplePractice and Calendly, to allow visitors to schedule consultations, request appointments, complete forms, or access other services.
These services may be provided through links that take you to another website or may be embedded within this website.
When you interact with SimplePractice, Calendly, or another third-party service, information you provide may be collected and processed by that service according to its own privacy policy, terms, and security practices.
Information requested through a scheduling service may include information such as your name, email address, telephone number, appointment preferences, or other information needed to facilitate the requested service.
Please review the privacy practices of these third-party services before providing information through them.
Psychotherapy and Protected Health Information
This Privacy Policy governs the public website and is not intended to serve as Laura Long Therapy Services' Notice of Privacy Practices under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”).
If you become a psychotherapy client, you will receive separate information explaining how protected health information may be used and disclosed and describing your rights regarding that information.
Please use designated secure systems and communication methods when submitting clinical or protected health information as instructed by Laura Long Therapy Services.
External Websites and Links
This website may contain links to websites, resources, scheduling platforms, social media platforms, or other services operated by third parties.
Laura Long Therapy Services does not control the privacy practices, security, content, or operation of third-party websites. Your interactions with those websites are governed by the privacy policies and terms of the applicable third parties.
A link to a third-party website does not necessarily constitute an endorsement of that website, organization, product, or service.

operate and maintain the website;
respond to inquiries;
facilitate scheduling;
understand website traffic and usage;
improve website content and user experience;

We do not sell psychotherapy client information.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information under our control. However, no website, internet transmission, email system, or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
For that reason, visitors should avoid sending sensitive clinical information through ordinary email, general website forms, or other communication channels that have not been designated for confidential clinical communication.
Children's Privacy
