Cancelation Policy
I require at least 24-hour notice of an appointment cancelation. If you do not show at an appointment or cancel it within less than 24 hours notice of the appointment's start-time, you will be charged 100% of the session's fee.
Privacy and Confidentiality
Your confidentiality is protected by my personal and professional ethics and State and Federal laws. Information that you share in therapy cannot be disclosed without your written permission. However, there are certain exceptions which include the following:
* Suspected child, dependent adult or elderly abuse or neglect which I am required by law to immediately report to the appropriate authorities.
* Threats of serious bodily harm to another person, in which case I am required to inform police and the person being threatened.
* Intention by the client to harm him/herself, in which the client has not been cooperative in ensuring their own safety. Then I will take measures, provided by law, to ensure the client's safety.
* In the unlikely event of cases of negligence suits brought by the client against the therapist, or in complaints to licensing and certification boards, where client information may be used to protect my reputation and ability to continue the practice of psychotherapy
