Confidentiality
in Therapy
Our therapeutic relationship must be based on your privacy. The law protects your privacy in our conversations. I cannot disclose anything you tell me in
Should you want me to discuss your case, say with your doctor, attorney, or your spouse, you would first need to sign a Release of Information form, naming the person and the limits of what I could discuss. Otherwise, I cannot disclose even my knowledge of you, or anything we discuss.
However, please know the exceptions to the laws of
confidentiality:
1. Suspected child abuse, or dependent-adult abuse, or elder abuse requires therapists, by law, to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.
2. If a client threatens serious bodily harm to another person, the therapist must notify the police, and inform the intended victim.
3. If a client intends to harm him or herself, the therapist will make every effort to enlist his or her cooperation in insuring his/her safety. If the person does not cooperate, further measures may be taken without his/her permission to ensure their safety.
