Everything you say to your counselor in a session is kept private. This means that nothing will be recorded in your educational records as a client. Also, without your permission, your family or loved ones do not have access to your medical files or mental health records. Without your explicit consent, your therapist will not consult with anybody beyond the Wellness Center or the institution. There are a few notable exceptions, including information about children or adult abuse, a serious threat to people's lives, and court orders.
