Confidentiality & Privacy Policy
The law protects the relationship between a client and a therapist, 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.
