Tell me about the counseling relationship and confidentiality:

The law protects the relationship between a client and a counselor. Any information shared with counselors from a current or potential client cannot be disclosed without a written release. However, there are some exceptions to this confidentiality (examples listed below).

Examples of exceptions to confidentiality include:

  • Suspected child abuse or dependent adult or elder abuse, for which we are required by law to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.

  • If a client is threatening to harm another person/s, we must notify the police and inform the intended victim.

  • If a client intends to harm himself or herself, we will make every effort to help coordinate safety for this person. If they do not cooperate, we will take the steps necessary—without their permission—that is provided to me by law in order to ensure the person’s safety.
