CONFIDENTIALITY & PRIVACY POLICY

​

The law protects the relationship between a client and a psychologist, and information cannot be disclosed without written permission except under the following circumstances:

​

• Suspected child, dependent adult, or elder abuse, for which I am required by law to report to the appropriate authorities immediately.

• If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person(s), I must notify the police and inform the intended victim(s).

• If a client intends to harm him or herself, I will make every effort to enlist their cooperation in ensuring their safety. If they do not cooperate, I will take further measures without their permission that are provided to me by law in order to ensure their safety.
