THERE ARE A FEW REASONS I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP SOMETHING WE TALK ABOUT CONFIDENTIAL. SEE PRIVACY POLICY.
Q: I'm  a parent, will I be involved in my child's treatment?
PARENT PARTICIPATION IS OFTEN A KEY FACTOR IN THE COUNSELING PROCESS BEING A SUCCESS. I GENERALLY KEEP PARENTS IN THE LOOP ON GENERAL PROGRESS & ATTENDANCE. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SAFETY ISSUES (SEE PRIVACY POLICY) I CANNOT SHARE DETAILS OF YOUR CHILD'S SESSIONS. WHEN THERE IS SPECIFIC INFORMATION THAT I FEEL WOULD BENEFIT YOUR CHILD FOR YOU TO KNOW, I WILL DISCUSS THIS WITH YOUR CHILD, ATTEMPT TO GET THEIR CONSENT AND INFORM YOU IN A WAY THAT EVERYONE IS COMFORTABLE WITH.
