We comply with all applicable laws and regulations governing confidentiality, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and state confidentiality laws. Additionally, our counselors adhere to the ethical guidelines outlined by professional counseling associations, such as the American Counseling Association (ACA) and the National Association of Social Workers (NASW).

We maintain secure and confidential records of client information, which are stored in compliance with HIPAA regulations. Access to client records is restricted to authorized personnel only, and strict protocols are in place to protect against unauthorized access or disclosure.

Prior to beginning therapy, clients receive a thorough explanation of our confidentiality policy as part of the informed consent process. This includes information about the limited circumstances under which confidentiality may be breached, such as instances of imminent harm to self or others, suspected child abuse or neglect, or court-ordered disclosure.

While we strive to maintain the highest level of confidentiality, there are certain situations in which confidentiality may be breached to ensure the safety and well-being of our clients or others. These situations are outlined clearly to clients during the informed consent process.

We take measures to ensure that all communication with clients, whether in person, by phone, or electronically, is conducted in a private and secure manner. We do not disclose any identifying information about clients without their explicit consent.
