Privacy Policy

Last updated July 2026

This website is operated by Dr. Sherry Helgoe, Psy.D., LMFT, LPCC, in Yorba Linda, California. This policy describes what information this website collects and how it is used.

Information you choose to share

If you use the contact form, the site collects the information you enter: your name, email address, phone number, and message. This information is used only to respond to your inquiry. It is not sold, shared with advertisers, or used for marketing lists. Form submissions are processed by Netlify, the service that hosts this website, and delivered by email.

Please do not include sensitive personal health information in the contact form. It is a general inquiry channel, not a secure clinical communication method, and it is not intended for emergencies. If you are in crisis, call or text 988.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, the hosting service may keep standard technical logs, such as browser type and pages visited, to operate and secure the site. This site does not use advertising trackers or sell visitor data. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which involves a standard technical request to Google when the page loads.

Forms and downloads

Client forms available for download on the contact page are blank documents. Completed forms should be brought to your first appointment rather than emailed, since email is not a secure channel for personal health information.

Not a client relationship

Visiting this website, downloading forms, or sending a message through the contact form does not create a therapist-client relationship. Clinical records for clients are maintained separately under applicable law and professional standards, and are not part of this website.

External links

This site links to outside services such as Substack and Psychology Today. Those sites have their own privacy practices.
