Confidentiality and Privacy
The information shared between client and therapist is protected by law. This information will not be disclosed without written permission or for exceptions, such as the following:

• Suspected child abuse, dependent abuse, or elder abuse. The law requires me to report this to the authorities immediately.

• If a client poses a threat, such as bodily harm, to another person/s, I am required to notify the police as well as the intended victim.

• If a client poses a threat to him or herself, I will try to work with the client to ensure his or her safety. However, if the client does not want to cooperate, I am able, by law, to notify others and enlist their assistance in protecting the client.
