Confidentiality

All counseling is confidential.  Information discussed and disclosed within any counseling sessions and/or telephone contact will remain confidential unless the information discloses danger of harm to self or others, or involves issues of child abuse or neglect.  In either of the above instances, I as a counselor, will be both ethically and legally bound to seek outside intervention as necessary.

Referrals will be made as needed for psychological testing, psychiatric evaluation and/or medications.

"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."
Psalm 147:3
