Website Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 8, 2026

Treadwell Counseling, PLLC (“Treadwell,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy
and is committed to protecting information you provide when you visit our website.

This Website Privacy Policy describes how information may be collected and used when
you visit or interact with treadwellcounseling.com.

This policy applies to information collected through our website. It does
not replace Treadwell’s Notice of Privacy Practices,
which describes how we use and disclose protected health information in connection
with counseling services.

1. Information Collected Through Our Website

Treadwell’s website is primarily an informational website. We do not provide a
website contact form, discussion board, blog, or online appointment-scheduling system.

We may collect limited technical information about visitors as part of operating
and maintaining the website and providing website analytics. This information may
include:

  • IP address;
  • Browser and device information;
  • Pages visited;
  • Date and time of visits;
  • Referring website;
  • Browser language; and
  • General geographic or usage information.

We may also receive information that you voluntarily submit through the
Thrizer insurance-benefits verification tool, as described below.

Please note: Do not submit confidential clinical information,
detailed mental-health information, crisis information, or other sensitive health
information through the Treadwell website unless specifically requested through
a secure system.

2. Jetpack Statistics

Treadwell uses Jetpack Stats, provided by Automattic, to obtain
limited information about how visitors use our website.

Jetpack Stats may collect technical and usage information such as IP address,
browser and device information, pages visited, referring URL, date and time of
visits, browser language, and general geographic information.

We use this information to understand website traffic and performance and to
improve the website. We do not use Jetpack Stats to maintain or analyze
counseling records.

Jetpack’s collection and processing of information is subject to Automattic’s
privacy practices.

You may review

Jetpack’s Privacy Policy

for additional information.

3. Thrizer Insurance Benefits Verification

Our website includes an embedded Benefits Widget provided by Thrizer, Inc.
The widget allows prospective clients to check their potential out-of-network
insurance benefits before beginning services.

If you choose to use the widget, you may be asked to provide information including:

  • First and last name;
  • Date of birth;
  • Insurance company;
  • Insurance member ID;
  • Provider; and
  • Service requested.

Thrizer uses this information to verify out-of-network insurance benefits and
provide information regarding potential benefits and reimbursement.

The Thrizer Benefits Widget is operated by Thrizer, not by
Treadwell Counseling.

Information you enter into the widget is transmitted to and processed by Thrizer
and may constitute personal information and/or protected health information.

Thrizer’s Privacy Policy states that it may collect health insurance plan data
and other protected health information, including mental and behavioral health
appointment and claim data and diagnostic data.

Thrizer also states that it may disclose information to contractors, service
providers, and other third parties that support its business, subject to applicable
contractual obligations.

Treadwell does not control Thrizer’s collection, use, storage, or disclosure of
information submitted through the Benefits Widget. Information submitted through
the widget is also subject to Thrizer’s privacy practices.

Before submitting information through the Benefits Widget, you may review

Thrizer’s Privacy Policy

to understand how Thrizer collects, uses, stores, and discloses information.

Please provide only the information necessary to obtain an insurance-benefits
estimate.

Insurance-benefit estimates are not guarantees of payment or reimbursement.
Your actual benefits may differ based on your insurance plan, deductible,
coverage, claims processing, and other factors.

4. Client Portal

Treadwell’s website contains a link to a separate client portal operated through
Sessions Health.

The client portal is separate from the public Treadwell website. Information
submitted through the client portal is subject to the privacy and security
practices applicable to that service.

If you are a current client, please use the client portal rather than the public
Treadwell website to communicate information that requires secure handling.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies necessary for website
functionality and for Jetpack Stats.

Cookies are small files that may be stored on your device when you visit a website.

You may control or disable cookies through your web browser settings. Disabling
certain cookies may affect the functionality of some website features.

Third-party services embedded in or linked to our website, including Thrizer,
may use their own cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their
respective privacy practices.

6. Information We Do Not Collect Through the Public Website

The public Treadwell website does not provide a mechanism for submitting:

  • Therapy session notes;
  • Treatment plans;
  • Psychological assessments;
  • Detailed mental-health histories;
  • Therapy communications; or
  • Other clinical records.

The website does, however, provide access to third-party services, including
the Thrizer Benefits Widget and the Treadwell client portal, which may collect
sensitive information as described in their respective privacy policies.

7. SMS Text Messaging and Mobile Information

If you provide your mobile telephone number to Treadwell Counseling, PLLC and opt in to receive text messages, we may use your mobile number to send appointment reminders and confirmations, scheduling or rescheduling communications, responses to inquiries, and other administrative or practice-related communications.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.

You may opt out of SMS communications at any time by replying STOP. For assistance, reply HELP or contact Treadwell Counseling at 603-276-0721.

No mobile opt-in information, SMS consent information, or text messaging consent will be sold, rented, or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

Information may be disclosed to service providers that assist Treadwell Counseling in providing text messaging services, but only as necessary to provide those services and subject to applicable privacy and confidentiality requirements.

Consent to receive SMS text messages is optional and is not a condition of receiving counseling, mental performance coaching, or other services from Treadwell Counseling.

For additional information about Treadwell Counseling’s SMS program, please review our SMS Text Messaging Terms & Conditions .

8. Clinical and Protected Health Information

If you become a client of Treadwell Counseling, information related to your
counseling services may constitute protected health information (PHI)
and may be subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
(“HIPAA”) and other applicable privacy laws.

The use and disclosure of PHI in connection with counseling services is governed
primarily by Treadwell’s Notice of Privacy Practices.

This Website Privacy Policy does not replace or modify Treadwell’s
Notice of Privacy Practices.

9. Third-Party Services

Treadwell currently uses or provides access through its website to certain
third-party services, including:

  • Automattic/Jetpack, for website statistics and related functionality;
  • Thrizer, for insurance-benefits verification; and
  • Sessions Health, through the separate client-portal link.

Third-party services may collect or process information according to their
own privacy policies.

Treadwell does not sell personal information collected through its website.

10. Advertising and Tracking

Treadwell does not use the website to engage in behavioral advertising or
retargeting.

Treadwell does not currently use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager,
Meta/Facebook Pixel, or similar advertising-tracking technologies on the website.

11. Information Security

Treadwell takes reasonable measures appropriate to the nature of information
collected through the website to protect information from unauthorized access,
use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or method of storing information
is completely secure.

Accordingly, Treadwell cannot guarantee the absolute security of information
transmitted through the public website or through third-party services.

13. Data Retention

Treadwell retains information for as long as reasonably necessary for the
purposes for which it was collected and as necessary to comply with applicable
legal, regulatory, professional, and business requirements.

Information maintained as part of a client’s clinical record is retained according
to applicable requirements and is governed by Treadwell’s clinical privacy policies
and Notice of Privacy Practices.

Third-party services may retain information according to their own privacy
policies and retention practices.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Treadwell may update this Website Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect
changes in our website, technology, services, or applicable legal requirements.

When changes are made, the revised policy will be posted on this page and the
Effective Date will be updated.
