Confidentiality
We
know how uncomfortable it can be to feel free to discuss your personal
difficulties and concerns. Our clinic is committed to respecting and
protecting the right to confidential services. We protect client
confidentiality to the full extent provided by the law. Only
counselors-in-training, clinic staff and faculty supervisors have
access to client information, and no information will be released to
others outside the clinic without the client's written consent.
Counselors and supervisors are prepared to discuss the limits of client
confidentiality. Please do not hesitate to ask questions. We want you
to feel comfortable knowing that confidentiality is of the utmost
importance to us. Our clinic is in compliance with HIPAA laws and HIPAA
information is provided for our clients upon application for services.
