Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 8, 2026

Get Beyond Talk ("we", "us") is the private therapy practice of Mark Bottinick, LCSW-C, serving adults in Maryland. This policy explains what we collect on this website and how we use it.

What we collect

• What you enter in our form: your name, phone number, email, ZIP code, and your answers about prior therapy, where you live, and what you'd like Mark to know before your consultation.
• Basic visit information: the page you came from, ad and campaign details in the link you clicked, your browser type, and cookies used by our advertising and analytics tools (such as the Meta Pixel and PostHog).
• How you use this page: pages viewed, clicks, scrolling and time on page.

Session recordings

We may record visits to see how this page works for visitors, for example where people get stuck in the form. Everything you type into the form is hidden from these recordings, and we can't see it there. Your form answers go only to our practice.

How we use it

• To contact you by phone, text and email about your free breakthrough session and your request.
• To check whether the practice is a fit (Maryland residency).
• To measure and improve our advertising and this website. We share limited event information with advertising platforms such as Meta, for example that a form was submitted. We do not share your answers about therapy or what you wrote for Mark with advertising platforms.

Text messages

If you submit our form, you agree that Get Beyond Talk may text you about your request, including automated texts. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out at any time, or HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of purchase.

We do not sell, rent or share your mobile number or text messaging consent with third parties or affiliates for their marketing purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties.

Who we share it with

We share your information only with service providers that help us run the practice, such as our client management, scheduling, messaging, website hosting and advertising tools, and only so they can provide those services to us. We may also disclose information if the law requires it.

How long we keep it

We keep your information for as long as needed to handle your request and run the practice, then delete it. If you become a client, your clinical records are kept as Maryland law requires.

Your choices

You can ask us to stop contacting you, or to access or delete your information, by replying STOP to any text or emailing Mark@GetBeyondTalk.com.

Not for emergencies

This website and our texts are not monitored for emergencies. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 or call 911.

We may update this policy. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
