Confidentiality & Privacy Policy

The law protects the relationship between a client and a psychotherapist, 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 this 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 himself 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.

Missed or late appointments:

• Your appointment time is reserved for you.  48 hour notice is required to cancel or reschedule your appointment. A cancellation fee of 50% payment for the missed appointment will be applied to your account without 48 hours of notice or if you fail to show up for your appointment without prior notice.

• Should you arrive late to your appointment, your session will still end at the scheduled time.

Disclaimer:  Psychotherapy services offered by our clinicians are in support of their clients  wanting to do significant work on themselves & their relationship. Results cannot be guaranteed. As with other therapy services offered, no warranty or guarantee is made either explicit or implied.  As with any psychotherapy, unpleasant emotions, discomfort, distress and other reactions/responses may occur.
