Confidentiality & Privacy Policy
The law protects the relationship between a client and a psychotherapist, and information cannot be disclosed without written permission.
Exceptions include:
- Suspected child abuse or dependent adult or elder abuse, for which I am required by law to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.
- If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person/s, I must notify the police and inform the intended victim.
- If a client intends to harm himself or herself, I will make every effort to enlist their cooperation in ensuring their safety. If they do not cooperate, I will take further measures without their permission that are provided to me by law in order to ensure their safety.
Protect yourself!
- When providing information through our forms here, please be sure to make comments as general as possible without identifying HIPPA information.
- When scheduling a telehealth appointment, use a private location and ensure you are alone.
- My forms will be sent through our secure Therapy Portal so that your information is protected.
Full Notice of Privacy Practices is provided prior to initial assessment appointment.
