Privacy Policy

The law protects the relationship between a client and a therapist. This means that the information you share is confidential and cannot be disclosed without your permission.

Exceptions

It is important to note these exceptions to protect a patient’s privacy. Under these circumstances, we are legally required to take immediate action:

• If child abuse or vulnerable adult or elder abuse is suspected, we must immediately report suspicions of abuse to the authorities.

• If a client threatens serious bodily harm to another person or persons, we must notify the police of these threats and inform the intended victim(s).

• If a client intends to harm himself/herself, we will first, make every effort to enlist our client’s cooperation in ensuring his or her safety. However, if the client does not cooperate, we must take further measures to ensure their safety. These actions are required by law and do not require the client’s permission.
