FAQ's
Is psychotherapy confidential? Psychologists are bound by law and ethical standards to uphold your confidentiality. There are a few exceptions to the confidentiality rule, such as threats of harm to self and others, inability to care for oneself, reported elder, dependent adult, or child abuse/neglect, or if a court order requires release of information. Personal and clinical information should not be sent via email as this is not a confidential means of communication.
