Clinical Counselors takes pride in its highly confidential enviroment.

Confidentiality
Counseling often deals with very personal and private issues. The staff of Clinical Counselors respect clients' privacy and will not release information disclosed in counseling without explicit permission from the client, except in situations when it is necessary to protect your or another person's safety. These include times when the counselor has reason to believe that you are in danger of harming yourself, you are an actual threat to the safety of another person, or situations (past or present) when a child under the age of 18, or a vulnerable adult, is being abused or neglected.

How private is counseling?
Therapists respect the privacy of their clients, and they keep things they're told confidential. A therapist won't tell anyone else - including parents or family members - about what a person discusses in his or her sessions unless that person gives permission. The only exception is if therapists believe their clients may harm themselves or others. If the issue of privacy and confidentiality worries you, be sure to ask your therapist about it during your first meeting. It's important to feel comfortable with your therapist so you can talk openly about your situation.

A detailed privacy policy will be reviewed with you during your first appointment.
