Respecting the confidentiality is one of the most important aspects of psychoterapy. What we discuss within the therapy sessions remains strictly between me and my pacients. Legally and ethically I am prohibited from sharing what you tell me or disclose your identity. There are three exceptions to confidentiality that rarely come up and apply to extreme situations where you are going to act on planning to hurt yourself or others, as well as situations involving child abuse or elder abuse. If you have questions about the limits of confidentiality, please feel free to address it during our initial meeting.
