How I can help

Space for the things
you’re carrying.

Sometimes you know what you want to talk about. Sometimes you simply know you’d like support. Either can be a starting point.

01

You & your everyday life

A place to explore your feelings, reflect on changes, and talk about what matters to you.

Stress & overwhelm
Life transitions
Self-understanding & personal growth
02

Growing up & finding direction

Space for young people to talk through questions, relationships, and the pressures of growing up.

School & life pressures
Identity & belonging
Decisions & direction
03

Relationships & family life

Time to reflect on how you relate to others and the patterns you’d like to understand better.

Communication & connection
Parenting concerns
Family changes

The initial conversation helps clarify whether Ivana’s services are a suitable fit for your needs.

Privacy & confidentiality

Personal information & record retention

Ma. Ivana Sonza-Hasegawa collects the contact details, background information, and health or counseling information you choose to provide for intake, counseling, and record keeping. Optional questions may be left blank and discussed with Ivana.

Your answers are submitted only after you acknowledge the counseling agreement and this privacy notice. The website stores your intake, consent acknowledgment, consent version, and submission date/time. Ivana records session summaries in the counselor workspace, which requires her authorized sign-in.

Ivana’s practice retains client records indefinitely, with no automatic deletion period. Contact ivanasonza@gmail.com to ask about your information or request access, correction, withdrawal of consent, or deletion. Ivana reviews these requests individually; submitting a request does not automatically delete existing records.

The website and its records are hosted in the practice’s Cloudflare account. Booking is handled separately by Google Calendar, which receives the details you enter there and operates under Google’s privacy practices. The website has no advertising trackers. Please do not email detailed health or counseling histories.

The counseling agreement explains confidentiality and its limits. Read it before giving consent.
