Confidentiality Statement

One of the most important parts of the therapeutic relationship is confidentiality. This means
that you must give your permission for any of your information to be shared with anyone outside of our sessions.  This permission will be provided through a written release of information. There are times when consenting to the release of your information can improve the treatment process, such as coordinating with a primary health provider or school counselor.

 

There are situations where confidentiality must be broken without client permission.  Outlined below are the examples of some of those situations.

Confidentiality may be broken if:

(1) I believe you are in danger of harming
yourself or someone else

(2) you share any information concerning child or
elder abuse or neglect 

(3) I am ordered to release your records to a court.

 

I do seek consultation occasionally with another licensed clinician, however all client information is de-identified.  I will not necessarily inform you about these consultations, unless I feel it is important to our work together.
