Privacy Policy
Confidentiality
In general, the privacy of communications between a therapist and client is protected by law, and I can only release information about our work together with your written permission. However, there are certain exceptions to confidentiality. These exceptions are listed in the Colorado statutes, C.R.S. §12-43-218.
I am required to disclose information under the following circumstances:
- Situations of suspected or confirmed child abuse or neglect
- Abuse or exploitation of an at-risk adult or elder, including imminent risk of such
abuse
- Threats of harm to others, including people identifiable by their association with a
specific location or entity
- Threats of harm to yourself
In such situations, I may be required to take protective actions which may include notifying the potential victim, contacting the police, or seeking hospitalization for the client. If such a situation arises during our work together, I will make every attempt to discuss it fully with you before taking necessary action.
In addition, I may disclose confidential information in the course of consultation with other professionals. In those cases:
● I will make every effort to avoid revealing your identity in the course of such consultation, and any professional with whom I consult will be legally bound to keep the information confidential
● Signing this document gives me permission to consult as necessary
● I may also reveal confidential information in the event of an investigation of a complaint or civil suit filed against me or if I am ordered to do so by a court of law
● In addition, there may be other exceptions to confidentiality as provided by HIPAA regulations and other Federal and/or Colorado laws and regulations that may apply
