Text messaging may be used for limited communication, such as scheduling, appointment reminders, or brief logistical updates. While texting can be convenient, it is not a secure or confidential form of communication.

By choosing to communicate via text, you acknowledge and accept the following:

• Confidentiality Limits: 
  Text messages may not be fully secure and could be accessed by unauthorized individuals (e.g., through your phone, service provider, or data breaches).
• Appropriate Use: 
  Texting is intended for scheduling or administrative purposes only. Clinical concerns, sensitive information, or urgent issues should be discussed during sessions or through secure communication methods.
• Response Time: 
  Text messages are not monitored at all times. Responses may be delayed and should not be expected outside of business hours. 
• Emergencies: 
  Texting is not appropriate for emergencies. If you are in crisis, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room
