Website and communication privacy
Privacy Policy
Last updated September 1, 2026. This page explains how general website inquiries are handled and where clinical privacy requires a separate process.
Information this website may collect
When you contact Forge Resilience Counseling, you may provide basic contact information such as your name, email address, phone number, and preferred session format. Please do not send sensitive personal health information through the general website contact process. Detailed health history should be discussed only through the practice's approved clinical process.
How information is used
Contact information is used to respond to your inquiry, discuss service fit, explain practical next steps, and communicate about scheduling when appropriate. Information should not be used for unrelated marketing without permission. This public website is informational and does not create a therapist-client relationship by itself.
Email and website communications
Standard email is not always a secure channel for sensitive health information. The website form prepares an email in your own email application; you choose whether to send it. Keep the message limited to contact details and practical questions. Do not include diagnoses, detailed symptoms, trauma history, medications, or other sensitive clinical information.
Clinical records and professional obligations
If you become a client, clinical information and records are handled separately from general website inquiries and according to applicable federal and state law, professional licensing requirements, ethical duties, and practice policies. These obligations can include privacy and security requirements associated with health information, including HIPAA where applicable.
Service providers and technical data
Hosting, email, analytics, or other technical providers may process limited information needed to operate the website and communications. Basic technical data can include device type, browser information, approximate location, referring pages, and usage events. The live site's final analytics and consent settings should be reviewed before launch.
Information protection
Reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards should be used to protect information. No website, email system, device, or storage method can promise absolute security. Use the least sensitive channel available for an initial inquiry and ask how protected clinical communication works before sending health information.
Your choices
You may ask what contact information the practice holds about you, request corrections where appropriate, or ask that a general inquiry be deleted when retention is not legally or operationally required. Clinical records can be subject to separate legal and professional retention rules. Contact the practice for questions about a specific request.
Colorado and Minnesota
Forge Resilience Counseling provides services under Andrew Qualy's Colorado and Minnesota social work licenses. Privacy, telehealth, record, and professional requirements can differ according to your physical location and the services involved. Questions about how a rule applies to your situation should be raised before sharing sensitive information.
