Confidentiality

Confidentiality for e-mail and telephone therapy is the same as in face-to-face therapy. I will make a report to a child protection agency if I suspect that a child is being abused. If someone’s life is in danger (due to the threat of suicide or homicide) I will notify the authorities. Finally, it is possible, although not likely, that my records could be subpoenaed by a court of law. Except under the above circumstances, everything that you tell me is held in the strictest confidence.
