CONFIDENTIALITY

Confidentiality is one of the core elements of a trusting therapeutic relationship and hence can not be downplayed.  Please be aware that I keep your confidentiality in highest regard.

By law (the Personal Health Information Protection  Act or PHIPA) , a therapist is to keep a client's  personal health information private, unless consent to release the information is provided by the client. 

I am also required to keep your records secure.  
 Under some circumstances a therapist is required to divulge some aspects of this information. I routinely discuss any limits of confidentiality with my clients and can speak with you about any inquiries you may have.
