Confidentiality
Except for the legal situations explained below, you have the absolute right to the confidentiality of your therapy. I cannot and will not disclose to anyone what we discuss in session, or that you are even in counseling, without your written permission.
Legal situations: The following are legal exceptions to your right to confidentiality. Whenever possible, I would inform you if I have to put one of these into effect.
-
If I have good reason to believe that you will harm another person, I must attempt to inform that person and warn them of your intentions. I must also contact the police and ask them to protect your intended victim.
-
If I have good reason to believe that you are abusing or neglecting a child or vulnerable adult, or it you give me information about someone else who is doing this, I must inform the appropriate authorities.
-
If I believe that you are in imminent danger of harming yourself, I may legally break confidentiality and call the police or the county crisis team. I would explore all other options with you before I took this step.
-
If at that point you were unwilling to take steps to guarantee your safety, I would call the crisis team. If your record is subpoenaed in a court of law, I will do what I can to protect confidentiality within the limits of abiding by the law.
Guidelines for Using AI to Support Your Therapy
Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be a helpful tool to support your personal growth between our therapy sessions. However, technology should only augment your mental health journey, never replace human care.
If you choose to use AI resources, please keep the following guidelines in mind to protect your well-being and privacy:
• Use It for Brainstorming, Not Diagnosis: AI is excellent for generating coping strategies, tracking habits, or explaining psychological concepts. It cannot diagnose mental health conditions or create clinical treatment plans.
• Never Share Personally Identifiable Information: Public AI tools (like ChatGPT or Claude) do not guarantee medical privacy. Never type your full name, location, or deeply private details into a public AI prompt.
• Bring Your AI Insights to Our Sessions: If an AI chat gives you a helpful perspective or a new coping tool, write it down. Bring it to our next session so we can explore it together safely.
• Pause If You Feel Misunderstood: AI lacks genuine empathy and can occasionally generate inaccurate or biased information. If an AI response feels invalidating, confusing, or harmful, stop using it immediately.
• AI Cannot Handle Emergencies: AI platforms are not equipped to manage crisis situations. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, always call 988 or go to the nearest emergency room.
By using AI mindfully as a supplemental tool, you can gather practical ideas outside of therapy while keeping our human collaboration at the center of your healing.
