Confidentiality

Your privacy will be completely protected, and everything you tell me during an assessment or therapy session will remain confidential. As a Registered Psychologist, I follow a Code of Ethics that strictly prohibits me from revealing any information my clients provide. I will only share your information with a pertinent individual (such as your doctor, lawyer, or insurance adjuster), if you allow me to do so in a signed consent form.

The only exceptions to this rule would be extraordinary circumstances, such as if the patient tells me that she will harm herself or others, or that she has engaged in child abuse.

Therapy and assessment procedures

I am required to explain to you the name, description and purpose of any therapy or assessment procedures I intend to conduct. I am also responsible for informing you of any risks and benefits of the procedures. Moreover, you have the right to ask any questions about anything that happens in therapy or assessments. Moreover, I am always happy to receive suggestions from the patient, and discuss alternative procedures that may work better. If you are not satisfied with my approach, we can discuss how we can modify it to better meet your needs, or I may refer you to another therapist or specialist.
