Privacy and Confidentiality

Information that you share with me will be kept strictly confidential and will not be disclosed without written consent from you. By law, however, there are some situations in which I will need to disclose some information about a client's treatment.

Confidentiality is not guaranteed in the following circumstances:

• Threats of a client in harming himself/herself
• Threats of bodily harm to someone else
• Child, disabled adult, or elder abuse or neglect

If a client threatens to harm himself/herself, every effort will be made to have the client voluntarily cooperate in maintaining her/her safety. If a client does not cooperate, I will follow all appropriate laws of disclosure to ensure the client's safety.

Threats of bodily harm will be reported by law to the appropriate authorities and the potential victim will be notified.

All threats or reports of abuse and neglect will be reported by law to the appropriate authorities.
