Notice of Privacy Practices

In Texas, a Notice of Privacy Practices explains how a licensed mental health professional like Christy Bradshaw Schmidt may use and share personal health information gathered during services such as custody evaluations, consultations, or expert testimony. This notice outlines your legal rights under HIPAA and Texas law, including how your information may, or may not, be used for treatment, payment, or administrative purposes, and when disclosures may be required by law (such as in cases of abuse or court orders). It also describes your rights to access records, request corrections, and receive confidential communications. The notice ensures transparency and helps protect the privacy of individuals and families involved in court-related services.
