Crisis Resources and Privacy

Immediate help if you need it now, and how we protect your information.

If You're in Crisis Right Now

Notice of Privacy Practices

Santa Fe Psychotherapy and Consulting, LLC, DBA Life Healing Center, is required by law to maintain the privacy of your protected health information (PHI) and to provide you with a notice of our legal duties and privacy practices under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Our full Notice of Privacy Practices describes how your health information may be used and disclosed for treatment, payment, and health care operations, and explains your rights, including the right to request a copy of your records, request corrections, request restrictions on certain disclosures, and file a complaint with our practice or with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights if you believe your privacy rights have been violated. A copy of the complete Notice of Privacy Practices is provided at intake and is available at any time upon request.

This website includes a contact form used to request information or schedule a consultation. The form collects only your name and your preferred method of contact. Submitting the form is voluntary, and the information you provide is used solely to respond to your inquiry — it is not sold, shared with third parties for marketing purposes, or added to any mailing list without your separate consent. Please do not use the contact form to share detailed clinical, medical, or crisis information; if you need help right now, use the crisis resources listed above instead.

42 CFR Part 2 — Substance Use Confidentiality

Records related to substance use disorder (SUD) diagnosis, treatment, or referral are protected by a federal confidentiality law, 42 CFR Part 2, in addition to HIPAA. These protections are generally stronger than standard medical privacy rules. In most cases, we cannot disclose information that identifies you as a patient receiving SUD treatment — even to confirm you are a client — without your specific written consent. Your SUD treatment records cannot be used to investigate or prosecute you in a criminal or civil proceeding without your written consent or a valid court order, and this protection continues even after treatment ends. Limited exceptions exist, such as medical emergencies, internal quality review, and reporting required by law (for example, suspected child abuse). A federal update to this rule took effect in 2024, with full compliance required by February 16, 2026; it more closely aligns SUD record confidentiality with HIPAA in some respects (for example, breach notification) while keeping the core protection against using your records against you in legal proceedings without your consent. If you have questions about how these protections apply to your records, ask a member of our clinical team.
