Privacy Policy for Dr. Reginald K. Riggins

Licensed Clinical Psychhologist

Privacy Policy

Telehealth is just a fancy way of describing medical care that happens over the phone or online. Instead of going into a doctor’s office or clinic, you can talk to a professional from wherever you’re most comfortable, using your phone, tablet, or computer. This makes healthcare more accessible, especially for people who might not have easy access to a therapist nearby.

Collection of Information

In the course of providing care, I may collect personal and health-related information, including but not limited to:

  • Your name, address, and contact details
  • Medical and mental health history
  • Details about your treatment sessions

This information is collected to provide effective, personalized care and to fulfill legal and professional responsibilities.

Use of Information

The information you trust me with, will only ever be used for purposes directly related to your care, including:

  • Assessment and treatment planning
  • Coordination of care with any other healthcare providers (with your explicit consent)
  • Administrative purposes such as scheduling and billing

Confidentiality and Disclosure

Your confidentiality is protected under state and federal laws, as well as the ethical guidelines of my profession. Your information will not be shared without your explicit consent, except in circumstances where disclosure is required by law, such as:

  • If there is a risk of harm to yourself or others.
  • In cases of suspected abuse or neglect.
  • When mandated by a court order.

If disclosure is necessary, I will make every effort to involve you in the process and share only what is required.

Storage and Security

Your information is stored securely, whether in physical files or electronic records. I use a secure encryption along with other measures on my server to ensure your data is protected against unauthorized access. Any paper records that I keep are stored in locked files.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access your records upon request.
  • Request corrections to your records if you believe they are inaccurate.
  • Limit certain uses or disclosures of your information.
  • Withdraw consent for information sharing (except where required by law)

Communication Preferences

I respect your preferences for how we communicate. If you have specific requests regarding email, phone, or other forms of communication, please let me know so I can accommodate your needs.

Updates to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may on occasion undergo updates to reflect changes in laws, regulations, or professional guidelines. I can assure you that you’ll be notified right away of changes affecting your rights or how your information is managed.
