Your privacy and confidentiality are of paramount importance to me. I understand that when seeking therapy, you are sharing deeply personal and sensitive information. As your doctor, I want to assure you that I take the responsibility of safeguarding your information very seriously. Below, I outline our privacy practices to provide you with a clear understanding of how we protect your privacy.
Confidentiality is the cornerstone of the therapeutic relationship. I adhere to strict ethical and legal guidelines to ensure that your information is kept private. Anything you share with me, your therapist, is strictly confidential, with the following exceptions:
- Harm to Self or Others: If there is a risk of harm to yourself or someone else, I may need to take appropriate steps to ensure safety. However, I will always strive to discuss this with you first.
- Child or Elder Abuse: If I have reason to believe that a child or elder is at risk of abuse or neglect, I am legally obligated to report it to the appropriate authorities.
- Court Orders: In very rare circumstances, a court may issue a subpoena requesting your records. If this happens, I will make every effort to inform you of the situation.
