Confidentiality Policy

---

One of the hallmarks of therapy is confidentiality. That ensures that our discussions will stay between the two of us, and record of your sessions will be kept in a protected and private manner. 

There are some limits to confidentiality, and they are only put in place so therapists can support their clients best. Those include:

• If there is risk of harm to you or someone else, specially a child, I would have to report that.
• If you disclose any abuse by a health professional, I would have to report that.
• If the court ever subpoenas your documents, I would have to abide by that request.
• If I need to consult with a consultant, I would do so without disclosing any identifying information of my clients.

Confidentiality in Public:

• To ensure your privacy and confidentiality in public, I will not greet you unless you greet me. 

Confidentiality for Parents whose teenage children are in therapy:

• My consent form notes that parents can discuss scheduling of appointments and payment of sessions for their teenage children.
• I would not be able to share any therapeutic progress or clinical information with the parents, unless I have written consent from the client.
