Professional Consultation

Animare Play provides professional consultation for mental health professionals, including Registered Play Therapists™, clinicians pursuing RPT™ credentialing, and other helping professionals.

Consultation is intended to support professional development, ethical practice, and thoughtful clinical decision-making.

When consultation includes discussion of client cases:

• Client information should be de-identified whenever reasonably possible.
• Only the minimum necessary information should be shared.
• Consultees remain responsible for complying with HIPAA, applicable state laws, licensing regulations, and their professional ethical obligations.
• Both parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of consultation discussions to the fullest extent permitted by law and professional ethics.

Animare Play does not assume responsibility for the direct clinical care, treatment decisions, documentation, or legal responsibilities of a consultee's clients.

Future Psychotherapy Services

Animare Play plans to offer psychotherapy services.

If you become a psychotherapy client, your health information will also be governed by our Notice of Privacy Practices, which explains how Protected Health Information is collected, used, disclosed, and protected under HIPAA and applicable law.

This Privacy Policy supplements—but does not replace—our Notice of Privacy Practices.

Electronic Communications

While we make reasonable efforts to protect electronic communications, no method of internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

Please remember:

• Standard email is not always encrypted.
• Website contact forms should not contain confidential clinical information.
• Social media messaging should not be used for clinical communication.

When available, clients and consultees may be encouraged or required to use a secure client portal for confidential communications, scheduling, document sharing, and electronic forms.

Third-Party Services

To operate our practice, we may use trusted third-party service providers for:

• Website hosting
• Website security
• Contact forms
• Scheduling
• Email communications
• Payment processing
• Electronic health records
• Secure client portals
• Telehealth services
• Website analytics

When third-party providers may have access to Protected Health Information, we make reasonable efforts to work with vendors that support HIPAA compliance and, when required, enter into appropriate Business Associate Agreements (BAAs).

Responsible Use of Technology

Animare Play may use technology tools to improve administrative efficiency and develop educational materials.

These tools are intended to support—not replace—professional judgment.

Protected Health Information is not intentionally entered into technology systems unless appropriate privacy safeguards are in place and doing so complies with applicable law and professional ethical standards.

Protection of Information

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information entrusted to us.

These safeguards may include:

• Password-protected systems
• Multi-factor authentication when available
• Secure cloud storage
• Limited access to records
• Encryption when appropriate
• Routine software updates
• Secure record retention practices

Although we work diligently to safeguard information, no method of electronic storage or transmission can guarantee absolute security.

Record Retention

Information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Provide requested services
• Meet legal obligations
• Comply with licensing requirements
• Fulfill professional ethical responsibilities
• Resolve disputes
• Protect legitimate business interests

Clinical records are retained in accordance with applicable federal law, Utah law, licensing regulations, and professional ethical standards.
