Privacy & Confidentiality
Your
privacy is important to me and is protected by Federal and State Laws as well
as Professional Ethics. The matter of privacy and ethics is also the
cornerstone and foundation of trust in our relationship. However, there are
some legal exceptions to confidentiality; where I would be bound by law and
ethics to take steps to protect you or another individual.
These exceptions include:
1) Where there is a
reasonable suspicion of child abuse/neglect or elder adult abuse/neglect
2) Where there is a
reasonable suspicion that you may present a danger of violence to others
3) Where there is a
reasonable suspicion that you are likely to harm yourself unless protective
measures are taken
Please feel free to ask any questions about your right to privacy and confidentiality. Additionally, anything you transmit over my website is highly secure, and stored data is HIPAA compliant.
