Privacy & Policy

Confidentiality & Privacy Policy

The law protects the privacy of the relationship between a client and a psychotherapist. Information shared in therapy is confidential and cannot be disclosed without your written consent.

Exceptions to confidentiality include:

Suspected abuse: If there is reason to believe a child, dependent adult, or elder is being abused, I am legally required to report this to the appropriate authorities.

Threats to others: If a client threatens serious bodily harm to another person, I must notify law enforcement and inform the intended victim.

Risk of self-harm: If a client intends to harm themselves, I will work to ensure their safety. If cooperation cannot be obtained, I am legally permitted to take further steps to protect the client.
