Everything you say is confidential and our therapists have taken steps to protect your privacy during counseling sessions. You can ask our therapists questions before the session begins if you have concerns about the confidentiality of the process. There are some exceptions to the rule of confidentiality. By law, the therapist is required to report:

•     Threats of harm to oneself

•      Threats of harm to other

•     Suspected child or elder abuse – if the client is the victim or perpetrator
