While different counselors take different approaches, we can guarantee that all staff will respect you and maintain your confidentiality (see the rare exceptions to that below)
As part of our profession’s Ethical Codes and NASW and as a matter of law you can expect that in almost all cases information you share will remain confidential within the Center. Exceptions to this include:
When the client gives us written permission to share information with someone else;
When its seems imminently likely that an individual is dangerous to themselves or someone else (for example, they might kill themselves soon);
When information is offered that leads us to believe that a child or an adult who is unable to protect him or herself has been or is likely to be abused or neglected;
When the information is requested by valid court order.
