This Website Privacy Policy and Terms of Use explains how Valiant Minds Counseling, P.C. (“Valiant Minds,” “we,” “our,” or “the practice”) handles information associated with this website. It applies to general website use and is separate from the Notice of Privacy Practices provided to clients receiving clinical services.
Website Information We May Collect
When you visit this website, standard technical information may be collected automatically, such as browser type, device type, pages visited, referring website, approximate geographic area, and the date and time of a visit. We may use website analytics to understand how visitors use the site and to improve its performance and content.
We do not sell or rent personal information collected through this website.
Information You Choose to Submit
If you complete our therapy request and insurance verification form, you may provide contact, insurance, and health-related information so that we can review your request, verify benefits when applicable, and contact you about possible services. Submitting a form does not establish a therapist-client relationship or guarantee an appointment.
Please do not use ordinary email, website comments, or other nonsecure website features to send sensitive clinical information. Use the designated secure form or established client portal whenever possible.
Health Information & HIPAA
When Valiant Minds receives or maintains protected health information in connection with clinical services, that information is handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws and the practice’s Notice of Privacy Practices. The general educational content on this website is not a substitute for professional mental health or medical care.
Third-Party Services & Links
This website may use or link to services operated by third parties, including website hosting, analytics, embedded forms, scheduling or client-portal tools, and external educational resources. Those organizations maintain their own privacy and security practices. A link does not necessarily imply endorsement, and Valiant Minds is not responsible for the content, availability, or privacy practices of external websites.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
This website and its service providers may use cookies or similar technologies for essential website functions, security, analytics, or performance. Browser settings may allow you to limit or remove cookies, although doing so may affect some website functions.
No Emergency or Crisis Services
This website and its forms are not monitored continuously and must not be used for emergencies. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. For mental health crisis support in the United States, call or text 988.

The information on this website is provided for general educational and informational purposes. You agree to use the website lawfully and not to interfere with its security, operation, content, or availability. Website content may not be reproduced, distributed, or used commercially without permission except as allowed by law.
Although we work to keep website information accurate and current, we cannot guarantee that every page or external resource will always be complete, available, or free from error. Mental health information should not be used to diagnose or treat a condition without consultation with a qualified professional.
