Confidentiality & Privacy Policy

The law protects the relationship between a client and a psychotherapist, and under most circumstances, information shared in the course of therapy cannot be disclosed to others without written permission. 

There are a few exceptions which are mandated by law.  These include: 

• Suspected child, dependent adult, or elder abuse, which I am required to immediately report to appropriate authorities. 
• Client threats of serious bodily harm to another person or persons, which I am required to report to police and to the intended victim.
• Client intent to self-harm, which requires me to make every effort to ensure client safety.
