Privacy Policy
All communications between a client and psychotherapist are confidential. Any information that may need to be disclosed (i.e physician, other professionals) require your written permission. There are some limitations to confidentiality in therapy. If a client is harmful to self or others, the appropriate help is sought. By law, some situations are required to be reported. Abuse of children, the elderly, and mentally or physically handicapped are required to be reported to appropriate authorities.
If your insurance coverage is paying all are part of the costs for therapy, you automatically give them consent to request information, such as your diagnosis, and appointment dates.
If you fail to settle an account balance, then your name may be submitted to a collection agency.
In rare instances, records may be subpoenaed by the court.
Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.
