Is My Counseling Confidential?
I am committed to keeping everything about your treatment confidential. Successful counseling requires a high degree of trust with sensitive information that is never shared outside of our session. However, in any counseling settings, there are exceptions to confidentiality. The exceptions are as follows:
If you are a threat to yourself or someone else, in which I may need to involve other people or resources to ensure your safety or the safety of others.
In the case of any suspicions of child abuse, which is required by law to be reported.
A court order to release information.
You authorize me to speak to anyone else about your treatment, which requires your signature on a release of information form.
