In-Home and On-Site CounselingConfidentiality and Privacy Policy:
The law protects the relationship between a client and a
psychotherapist, and information cannot be disclosed without written permission. You should be aware, though, that if you use your insurance benefits to pay for all or part of your therapy, some information about your treatment will need to be reported to your insurer. In addition, there are some special circumstances in which the law requires therapist to break confidentiality. These 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 insuring 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. I provide my services to the highest ethical standards and my relationships with my clients are strictly confidential. As such, I must inform you that the information provided in this website is offered for informational purposes only; it is not offered as and does not constitute professional advice. Replies to e-mail messages will be general in nature and will not form a therapist-client relationship. Be aware that the confidentiality of information sent over the Internet, including e-mail, may not be legally or otherwise protected or secure. |
