 Confidentiality & Privacy Policy I understand and adhere to the American Counseling Association code of ethics that protects my clients privacy, values and diversity. As a professional Counselor/Coach, it is my duty to protect the confidentiality of the professional relationship to the best of my ability while putting the clients needs and welfare as top priority. The law protects this relationship - As a Mandated Reporter exceptions include: - Suspected child abuse or dependant adult or elder abuse, for which I am required by law to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.
- If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person/s, I must notify the police and inform the intended victim.
- If a client intends to harm himself or herself, I will make every effort to enlist their cooperation in insuring their safety. If they do not cooperate, I will take further measures without their permission that are provided to me by law in order to ensure their safety.
