Effective Date: 6/19/2026
Amani Mental Health PLLC (“Amani Mental Health,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our website, submit a contact form, request information, communicate with us online, or otherwise interact with our website.
This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through our website and general online communications. It does not replace our clinical intake forms, informed consent documents, telehealth consent, or HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.
If you become a client of Amani Mental Health PLLC, certain information may be protected by federal and state privacy laws, including HIPAA and Washington confidentiality laws. HIPAA requires covered health care providers to give individuals notice explaining how protected health information may be used and disclosed, the individual’s rights, and the provider’s legal duties.

Mailing address
Preferred method of contact
Information submitted through a contact form
Appointment or consultation request details
General information about the type of services you are seeking
Any other information you choose to provide
Because Amani Mental Health PLLC provides mental health services, information you submit may relate to counseling needs, emotional concerns, family or relationship concerns, treatment interests, or other health-related topics. Please avoid submitting highly sensitive clinical details through a general website form unless we specifically instruct you to use a secure method.
We may also collect limited technical information automatically when you use our website, such as:

Maintain website security
Comply with legal, ethical, regulatory, or professional obligations
Protect the safety of clients, providers, or others when required or permitted by law

Submitting information through the website does not automatically create a therapist-client relationship. A therapist-client relationship is created only after appropriate intake, consent, and acceptance into services.
3. Website Contact Forms and Email
Our website contact forms and general email are intended for basic inquiries only. They should not be used for emergencies, crisis situations, or urgent clinical needs.
Please do not use the website contact form to send detailed mental health history, trauma details, diagnosis information, medication information, or other highly sensitive information unless directed to do so through a secure system.
While we take reasonable steps to protect communications, standard email and website forms may not be fully secure. If you become a client, we may provide more secure communication options when appropriate.
4. No Emergency or Crisis Services Through the Website
The Amani Mental Health PLLC website is not monitored for emergencies and is not intended to provide crisis services.
If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, believe you may harm yourself or someone else, or need immediate assistance, call 911, go to the nearest emergency room, or call/text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
Do not use this website, email, or contact forms for emergency communication.
5. Health-Related and Consumer Health Information
Some information submitted through our website may be health-related or may relate to your attempt to obtain mental health services. Washington’s My Health My Data Act applies to certain consumer health data and addresses information related to health conditions or attempts to obtain health care services.
Amani Mental Health PLLC does not sell, rent, trade, or use consumer health data for targeted advertising.
We use health-related information submitted through the website only for appropriate business and practice purposes, such as responding to inquiries, scheduling, providing information about services, complying with law, maintaining safety, and operating the practice.
Amani Mental Health PLLC should also maintain a separate Washington Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy if required by applicable law.
6. HIPAA and Client Information
This website Privacy Policy is not the same as a HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.
If you become a client, Amani Mental Health PLLC may collect and maintain protected health information, also known as PHI. PHI may include information about your identity, appointments, treatment, diagnosis, payment, communications, and services.
HIPAA allows health care providers to use and disclose protected health information for certain purposes, including treatment, payment, and health care operations. HHS model notices explain that providers may use health information to manage treatment and services and may share information to bill for services.
For more information about how client information is used and disclosed, please review Amani Mental Health PLLC’s Notice of Privacy Practices.
