Yes, our coaching sessions are absolutely confidential, and I will not share information outside of our sessions. However, there are specific legal and ethical mandates that may require me to disclose information:
- If I believe you are at serious risk of harming yourself or someone else.
- If any current or past abuse or neglect of a child, elder, or dependent adult is disclosed, as I am a mandated reporter and must notify the appropriate authorities.
- If a judge or court orders me to provide notes or documentation.
Additionally, there may be times when you want me to communicate with others about your treatment. This will only be done with your written consent. If you wish for me to speak with your doctor or a previous helper, I will discuss this with you in detail before you decide whether to provide written consent.
