The law protects the relationship between a client and a therapist, and information cannot be disclosed without written permission.
Exceptions include:
Suspected child abuse or 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.
If a client intends to harm him or herself, I will make every effort to enlist their cooperation in ensuring their safety. If necessary I will take further measures without their permission, that are provided to me by law, in order to ensure their safety.
Please wait while the policy is loaded. If it does not load, please click here.
