Confidentiality:
The law protects psychotherapist and the client, and information cannot be disclosed without express written consent by the client. The exceptions are when there is suspected child abuse or neglect, or when the patient threatens serious physical harm to self or others. As required by law, efforts are made to ensure the safety of those affected.
Finding the right therapist:
Reserach has shown that the most important factor of successful therapy is the relationship that forms between you and your therapist. Therefore, choose a therapist who you feel comfortable with, who you feel respects and listens to you, accepts you for who you are, and also appropriately challenges limitations so you can grow beyond your current capacity.
