CONFIDENTIALITY
What gets said in therapy, stays in therapy. Confidentiality is what makes therapy work. Without your consent, I am not allowed to discuss you or your therapy with anyone. There are, however, a couple of exceptions to this rule.
I, as a licensed mental health professional, am required by law to report the following:
Any self report, or report (that is not hearsay), of abuse or neglect of a minor, elderly or handicapped person.
Any self report from my clients of their own suicidal or homicidal thoughts.
Any self report from my clients of any intent on their part (again not hearsay) to do physical harm to another person. I am required by law to both warn that person and the police

CLINICAL STANDARDS & ETHICS
The therapuetic relationship is a sacred one, and one that I value deeply. Psychotherapy, in and of itself, is very personal by nature, and as a licensed professional, I am required by law to maintain professional boundaries in this relationship. This means that I, or any licensed psychotherapist for that matter, can not in any way, engage in any kind of outside relationship, personally or professionally with a client.
While most therapists are good people with honest helping intentions, sadly, clinical exploitation (where the therapist engages in a sexual relationship with a client) does happen. If you have been sexually exploited by a therapist, doctor, or some other licensed health care provider, here are some links to resources where you can learn more about this and get help, guidance, and support.
