COMMON QUESTIONS
What services do you not provide?
While asked frequently about these services, I do not offer them: Psychological Evaluations (please contact a Psychologist), Prescriptions (Please contact either a Psychiatrist or your Doctor), court testimony, disability evaluations and/or filling out paperwork for a leave from work and emotional support pet documentation. If you have a question on the services I do or do not provide please contact me.
​
What happens in therapy stays in therapy?
On a whole yes. What you say in my office stays in my office, which is called confidentiality: the restriction of your private information. There are exceptions to confidentiality, meaning under certain circumstances I may have to share your private information and/or what you say in therapy. Here are some examples:
-
Harm to self or others.
-
A child under the age of 18 or older adult in care is in danger.
-
Your files are subpoenaed by the court.
-
You experience a health emergency during a session.
We will discuss these examples in more detail during your first session. Should you wish to release any information about your session we can also discuss that process.
