Confidentiality & Privacy Policy

The law and the AAMFT ethical code protects the relationship between a client and a counselor. Your information cannot be disclosed without your written permission except under specific situations.

Those exceptions include:

* Suspected child abuse or dependant 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.
