What About Confidentiality?Confidentiality is a foundation in our therapist-client relationship. It's about trust, especially when discussing private matters. At the beginning, you'll receive a document called "Informed Consent," that explains confidentiality rules. Also, there may be a time when you might want your therapist to share info with your healthcare team. In this instance, your written permission would be required before I disclose any of your information. Your privacy is a priority. But, there are situations where we might need to break confidentiality. Including, but not limited to, the following: Abuse or Neglect: If there's concern about someone being abused or neglected, we have to report it to authorities. Safety Concerns: If there's a risk you might hurt yourself or someone else, we have to take steps to keep everyone safe. Your well-being is key. Feel free to ask if you have questions about this.
