Privacy Policy
Effective date: August 8, 2026
Galia Nissim Counseling respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and protected when you visit this website, submit a contact form, download a resource, or communicate through this website.
This website is intended for general informational purposes and consultation requests only. Please avoid sharing detailed personal, medical, mental health, or clinical information through the contact form.
Information we collect
When you use this website, we may collect information you choose to provide, including your name, email address, phone number, preferred contact method, the reason you are reaching out, and any message you submit through the contact form.
If you sign up for a free guide, resource, newsletter, or email updates, we may collect your name and/or email address.
Depending on the website platform and tools used, this website may also collect basic technical information, such as browser type, device information, pages visited, referring website, general location, and general website usage data.
How we use information
Information submitted through this website may be used to:
- respond to your inquiry
- discuss or schedule a consultation
- provide requested resources
- send occasional updates or resources if you have signed up to receive them
- improve website functionality and visitor experience
- maintain website security
- comply with legal, ethical, or professional obligations
Submitting information through this website does not create a therapist-client relationship. A therapist-client relationship is established only after appropriate consultation, consent, intake documentation, and mutual agreement to begin therapy services.
Therapy services
Galia Nissim Counseling offers therapy services in person in Tampa, Florida, and through secure telehealth for clients located in Florida.
Website resources, videos, meditations, journaling prompts, and educational materials may be accessed by visitors outside Florida, but they are informational only and do not constitute therapy, medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Contact forms, email, and emergencies
The contact form is intended for general inquiries and consultation requests only. Please do not submit detailed personal, medical, mental health, or clinical information through the form.
This form is not monitored for emergencies. If you are in crisis or experiencing an emergency, call 911 or contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
Email and website forms may not be fully secure forms of communication. Please use discretion when deciding what information to share through this website or by email.
Current clients should use the secure client portal for clinical communication whenever possible.
Therapy records and client portal
Information submitted through this website is separate from therapy records. Therapy records, intake forms, scheduling, billing, and clinical communication may be managed through a secure client portal or practice-management system.
Information submitted through a secure client portal is governed by that platform's privacy and security practices, as well as applicable laws, ethical obligations, and professional requirements.
Third-party services
This website may use third-party services to operate the website, manage forms, provide resources, host videos or audio, process email signups, analyze website traffic, or connect visitors to external platforms.
These services may include website hosting providers, contact form tools, email or newsletter providers, analytics tools, scheduling or client portal platforms, YouTube, Insight Timer, Psychology Today, or other linked professional platforms.
Third-party services may collect or process information according to their own privacy policies. Galia Nissim Counseling is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of external websites or third-party platforms.
Cookies and analytics
This website may use cookies or similar technologies to support website functionality, understand general website traffic, and improve visitor experience.
If analytics tools are used, they may collect general usage information such as pages visited, time spent on the site, device type, browser type, referring website, and general location. You may be able to limit or disable cookies through your browser settings.
Because this website relates to mental health services, Galia Nissim Counseling aims to limit unnecessary tracking and avoid collecting sensitive clinical information through the website.
Online tracking technologies
Some website tools may use tracking technologies, such as cookies, pixels, tags, or similar tools. These technologies may be used to understand website usage, improve the website, or support basic website functionality.
Galia Nissim Counseling does not intend to collect detailed clinical information through this website. Visitors should avoid submitting detailed health or clinical information through website forms. Clinical communication should occur through appropriate secure channels whenever possible.
How information is shared
Galia Nissim Counseling does not sell personal information. Information may be shared only when necessary to:
- operate the website or related services
- respond to your inquiry
- provide requested resources
- work with trusted service providers who support website, email, scheduling, or practice operations
- comply with legal, ethical, or professional obligations
- protect safety when required or permitted by law
