Effective Date: January 19, 2024
Last Updated: March 23, 2025
Welcome to Ascendant—a healing and leadership platform created by Liza Wright for women who are rising, softening, and reclaiming their wholeness. This page outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information, as well as what you need to know before engaging with our digital content or services.
Your privacy is sacred, and your trust is not taken for granted.
1. Who We Are
Ascendant TM is operated by Wright Counseling and Consulting, LLC, founded by Liza Wright, LCSW. Our work includes coaching, leadership development, embodiment practices, and personal development offerings. Some services may involve therapeutic tools, but unless specifically contracted as therapy and documented accordingly, services should be understood as coaching or consultation, not clinical treatment.
2. Information We Collect
a. Information You Voluntarily Provide
We may collect personal information when you:
Subscribe to a newsletter
Download a free resource
Enroll in a program, course, or coaching container
Submit a form or questionnaire
Schedule a consultation or session
This may include:
Your name, email, phone number, demographic data, personal goals, and payment information.
b. Automatically Collected Information
We may also collect:
Browser and device information
IP address
Referring URLs
Time spent on pages
Cookie data
This helps us improve the site and your experience.
3. How We Use Your Information
Your data is used to:
Deliver services or coaching
Personalize your experience
Send you relevant updates, offers, or newsletters
Analyze traffic to improve performance
Process payments securely
We do not sell or rent your information. Any data shared with third-party tools (like payment processors or scheduling systems) is strictly to facilitate your requested services.
4. Coaching vs. Therapy Disclaimer
Ascendant offers services in both the coaching and clinical therapy realms. These services are not interchangeable.
Coaching is future-focused, goal-oriented, and educational. It is not a substitute for licensed mental health care.
Therapy, when provided, is governed by HIPAA and state licensure regulations and will always be contracted clearly and separately.
Unless explicitly stated in a formal intake or contract, all services provided via the Ascendant website and its digital offerings are considered coaching or consultation—not therapy.
If you are in crisis, or in need of diagnosis or psychiatric treatment, please seek immediate care from a licensed mental health provider or contact emergency services.
5. Your Rights + Confidentiality
We honor your legal rights to:
Access, correct, or delete your data
Withdraw consent at any time
Opt out of marketing emails via the unsubscribe link in any email
All coaching and consulting sessions are confidential, though not governed by HIPAA unless explicitly stated in a therapeutic contract. Client stories or testimonials are only shared with informed written consent.
6. Data Security
We implement reasonable measures to safeguard your data, including SSL encryption and secure third-party payment processors. No system is 100% immune to breach, so we ask that you use discretion when sharing sensitive information online.
7. Use of Cookies & Analytics
We may use cookies or tools like Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the site. You can modify your cookie preferences in your browser.
8. Third-Party Links & Services
We occasionally link to third-party tools or services (e.g., scheduling apps, external articles, digital products). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Please review their privacy policies before submitting your data.
9. Children's Privacy
This website is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under this age.
