Hope and Healing Within Counseling Services
Effective date: November 13, 2026
This Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy is for Washington residents. It describes how Hope and Healing Within Counseling Services, the counseling practice of Christie McDermott, CMHC, collects and uses consumer health data through this public website, as that term is used in Washington’s My Health My Data Act, chapter 19.373 of the Revised Code of Washington.
This policy is only about consumer health data collected on this website. Protected health information in the practice’s clinical record, including information you provide in SimplePractice, is handled under the practice’s Notice of Privacy Practices and applicable health-privacy law, not this page.
Categories of consumer health data we collect, and the purpose
We treat the following website information as consumer health data when it is linked to you and shows that you are seeking counseling services:
- Your name, email address, and optional phone number, when you submit a general inquiry through this website (including the contact, gift-session, and intensive forms).
- The fact that you submitted that inquiry on this counseling practice’s website.
We collect this information only to respond to the inquiry you asked us to answer. We do not use it for targeted advertising, and we do not sell it.
Please do not include personal health details, symptoms, diagnoses, or medical history in the website form. If you need to share clinical information, please use SimplePractice.
We do not collect biometric data, genetic data, precise location, or payment card details through the website inquiry form.
Anonymous, unlinked page-path counts on this website are not linked to your name or contact details, and we do not treat those counts as consumer health data.
Categories of sources
- Directly from you, when you submit a website inquiry or email or call us using the contact details on this site.
Categories of consumer health data we share
We share the inquiry information described above only as needed to store it securely and to respond to you.
Categories of third parties and affiliates with whom we share it
- Our website host and related platform provider (currently Lovable).
- Our form-database provider (currently Supabase), which stores inquiry submissions.
- No other third parties. Christie McDermott reviews website inquiries. The practice has no affiliates that receive this data.
- We do not share this website inquiry information with advertisers or data brokers.
- If you choose to book or complete intake in SimplePractice, that is a separate request you make to SimplePractice, and that information is not taken from the website inquiry form.
How to exercise your rights
If you are a Washington resident, you may ask us to:
- Confirm whether we collect, share, or sell consumer health data about you (we do not sell it);
- Provide access to that data and a list of third parties with whom we have shared it;
- Withdraw your consent to our future collection or sharing of your consumer health data; and
- Delete consumer health data about you that we hold, subject to the Act.
To make a request, email christiemac1@gmail.com, call (509) 939-0204 (Washington), or use the contact form on this website and say that you are making a consumer health data request. We will need enough information to find your inquiry and to verify that the request is from you. We will respond within the time the law allows, generally 45 days.
