Confidentiality
Issues discussed in therapy are legally protected as both confidential and "privileged". However, there are limits to the privilege of confidentiality. These situations include:
Privacy Policy
- suspected abuse or neglect of a child, elderly person, or disabled person,
- when you therapist believes you are in danger of harming yourself or another person or you are unable to care for yourself,
- if you report that you intend to physically injure someone the law requires your therapist to inform that person as well as the legal authorities,
- if your therapistis ordered by a court to release information,
- when your insurance company is involved (e.g., in filing a claim, insurance audits, or in case review or appeals) or when attempting to collect overdue accounts,
- in natural disasters whereby protected records may become exposed, or
- when otherwise required by law.
