Questions

Email Communications

As a sole practitioner with no staff, Dr. Haley uses email for almost all communications outside of sessions. Emails from Dr. Haley are essentially confined to matters such as fees, scheduling, and insurance coverage. She does not send emails containing personal information such as diagnosis, treatment or issues discussed.

Most email services do not utilize encrypted email. This means that, although unlikely, a third party might be able to access our email communications and read them. Federal Guideline require that you consent to the use of email for communicating health information in order for it to be used.

<< Note: If you do not agree to using email to communicate by checking the box below, Dr. Haley will not be able to work with you and this form will not transmit. >>

I understand the risks of unencrypted email and do hereby give permission to NYC Psychologist (incorporated as: Haley Psychology Services, P.C.) to send me personal health information via unencrypted email. By submitting this form and checking this box, I am consenting to the use of email between Dr. Haley and myself.

** Please check to ensure that you have provided your correct email address in the space provided AND have checked the box above giving permission to email communications. Due to time constraints and frustration with tag-telephone, Dr. Haley can only respond to you by email. **

Okay, now, click the send button below and you will be contacted via email, usually by the weekend following receipt of this form, about scheduling a meeting with Dr. Haley.

Please be patient and wait until you arrive at the "thank you" page before leaving this page. Otherwise, your form will not be transmitted. Thanks.
