Privacy Policy

A legal disclaimer

The explanations and information provided on this page are only general and high-level explanations and information on how to write your own document of a Privacy Policy. You should not rely on this article as legal advice or as recommendations regarding what you should actually do, because we cannot know in advance what are the specific privacy policies you wish to establish between your business and your customers and visitors. We recommend that you seek legal advice to help you understand and to assist you in the creation of your own Privacy Policy.

Privacy Policy - the basics

Having said that, a privacy policy is a statement that discloses some or all of the ways a website collects, uses, discloses, processes, and manages the data of its visitors and customers. It usually also includes a statement regarding the website’s commitment to protecting its visitors’ or customers’ privacy, and an explanation about the different mechanisms the website is implementing in order to protect privacy. 

 

Different jurisdictions have different legal obligations of what must be included in a Privacy Policy. You are responsible to make sure you are following the relevant legislation to your activities and location. 

What to include in the Privacy Policy

Generally speaking, a Privacy Policy often addresses these types of issues: the types of information the website is collecting and the manner in which it collects the data; an explanation about why is the website collecting these types of information; what are the website’s practices on sharing the information with third parties; ways in which your visitors and customers can exercise their rights according to the relevant privacy legislation; the specific practices regarding minors’ data collection; and much, much more.

About Me- Joel Harris

JOEL HARRIS HEADSHOT_2.jpg

I’ve worked in mental health for more than 25 years, and one thing I’ve learned is that people rarely come to therapy with everything neatly figured out. Some people know exactly what they want to talk about. Others just know that something feels off, heavy, stuck, or harder than it needs to be.

​

Both are good places to start.

​

I earned my Ph.D. from the University of Memphis in 2016, and my experience has included work in schools, clinical settings, and private practice. Those settings have taught me to listen carefully, ask useful questions, and adapt therapy to the person in front of me rather than forcing people into a script.

​

My approach is collaborative, straightforward, and paced to you. Sometimes our work may involve slowing down and giving you room to think out loud. Other times, it may involve noticing patterns, talking through hard choices, or working together on practical ways to move forward.

​

As a biracial Seneca/Haudenosaunee and White clinician, and as someone who lives with chronic illness, I understand that identity, culture, belonging, and health can shape how people move through the world. I bring that awareness into therapy with respect, curiosity, and care.

​

I value honesty, mutual respect, and a therapeutic relationship where you can be yourself without judgment or pressure to perform.

​

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, working with my hands through home and auto repair, spending time outdoors, traveling, and being with my partner, family, and friends.
