Last updated: [3/25/2026]

Ridgeway Therapy PLLC (“I,” “me,” or “my practice”) is committed to providing clear information about how this website is used, how your privacy is protected, and what you can expect when contacting or working with me. These policies apply to the use of this website and to general communication with my practice. They do not replace the HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices you will receive as a client.

Not for Emergency Use

This website and my contact information are not intended for emergency or crisis support.

If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, please call 988 or 911, or go to the nearest emergency room.

No Therapist–Client Relationship Formed

Viewing this website or contacting me does not establish a therapist–client relationship.

A therapeutic relationship is formed only after:

- we have connected directly,

- agreed to work together, and

- completed the required intake and consent process.

Email and Electronic Communication

Email is not a secure form of communication.

Please avoid sharing sensitive or private health information by email.

If you choose to contact me electronically, you do so at your own discretion and acknowledge the risks associated with unencrypted communication.

Telehealth Services

All therapy services are provided via secure, HIPAA‑compliant telehealth platforms.

Once we begin working together, you will receive a full HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices that explains how your protected health information (PHI) is handled.

I am licensed to provide therapy only to clients physically located in Colorado at the time of service.
