Privacy and Confidentiality is the basis of therapeutic trust between therapist and client. Successful therapy relies on a deep trust and understanding of the client and their presenting problem. Included in the Intake is a “Confidentiality Agreement” signed by both therapist and client. What happens in counseling sessions is not discussed elsewhere unless “Informed Consent” is given to share information with members of your care-team (Doctor, Psychiatrist, School Counselor, Attorney or Court official). However, no information is shared unless a signed release has been given to the therapist by the client to release the information.
