Privacy Policy

The law protects the relationship between a client and a psychotherapist. All aspects of a client’s participation in psychotherapy are confidential. The client’s records may only be released when the therapist obtains the client’s written permission.  However, as required by law, confidentiality must be broken under the following circumstances:

  • Evidence of child or elder abuse. The law requires that the healthcare provider report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.
  • Evidence of endangerment to self or others requires that appropriate action must be taken.
  • Receipt of a court subpoena requires release of records.

If you are submitting an insurance claim, please be aware that your confidentiality cannot be guaranteed once the information is in the hands of the insurance provider. Insurance providers are able to provide submitted information, including diagnosis, to employers, insurance carriers and other parties. It is important to speak directly to your provider for details.
