Why is Confidentiality & Privacy so important?

The law protects the relationship between a client and a psychotherapist. Information between a client and therapist cannot be disclosed to a third party without written permission.

Exceptions include:

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

• Threat of serious bodily harm to another person/s. I am required by law to notify the police and inform the intended victim.

• Threat of self harm. I am required by law to take appropriate action to ensure personal safety.

What is your cancellation policy?

Please note that cancellations must be done by phone or email at least 24 hours in advance. Missed appointments without prior cancellation will be charged $60 (this fee is not covered by insurance companies).

What is telehealth?

Telehealth (also known as telehealthcare and telemedicine) is the delivery of health-related services and information via telecommunications technologies. I use a program called Spruce, this HIPPA complaint service is used in conjunction with therapy services.
