Privacy Policy & Disclaimer

This policy explains what information starpsychologicalservices.com collects and how it is used. It covers this website only. If you become a client, your health information is protected under HIPAA and handled as described in the Notice of Privacy Practices you receive when you begin services.

What we collect
When you use the contact form, we receive your name, email address, phone number if you choose to share it, who you are seeking therapy for, and your message.

When you visit the site, Squarespace, which hosts it, automatically collects basic technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, and how you arrived at the site. This keeps the site running and shows us overall traffic. It does not identify you to us by name.

How we use it
We use what you send through the contact form only to reply to you and arrange a consultation. We don’t sell, rent, or share your information for marketing, and we don’t add you to a mailing list.

Please don’t send health information through this website
The website and its contact form are not set up to handle protected health information. Form submissions are stored by Squarespace and delivered to our email. Please keep your message to the basics. We’ll talk about what’s going on during your consultation.

Cookies
This site uses cookies that Squarespace needs to function and to measure visits. You can manage cookies through the site’s cookie banner or your browser settings. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

Links to other sites
This site links to other websites, such as Instagram and PSYPACT. Their privacy practices are their own, and we encourage you to review them.

Children’s privacy
Although we work with children and teens, this website is not intended for use by children under 13. Parents or guardians should make contact on a child’s behalf.

How long we keep it
We keep contact form messages only as long as needed to respond and arrange services. If you become a client, relevant information becomes part of your clinical record and is handled under HIPAA.

Your choices
You can ask to see, correct, or delete information you’ve sent through this website by emailing [email address].

Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it last changed.

Disclaimer

Not for emergencies
This website, the contact form, and our email are not monitored for emergencies. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself or someone else, call or text 988, call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room.

General information only
The content on this site, including any resources, is general information. It is not a diagnosis, treatment, or professional advice about your situation, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified professional.

No therapist-client relationship
Visiting this site, contacting us, or having an initial consultation does not create a therapist-client relationship. That relationship begins only once we have both agreed to work together and intake is complete.

Licensure and location
Dr. Jessica Rossi, PsyD, is a licensed psychologist in Florida (license [number]) and holds an Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) through PSYPACT. All services are provided online and are available only to people who are physically located in Florida or another PSYPACT participating state at the time of each session. The current list of participating states is at psypact.org.

No guarantee of results
Every person’s experience of therapy is different. Nothing on this site promises or guarantees a particular outcome.
