What we discuss in therapy is confidential. This means that what you say will not be talked about with anyone else. There are, however, four exceptions to this, which are: 1) If you are in danger to yourself (suicidal), or 2) If you are a danger to others. In these first two cases it is mandated by law that I take steps to ensure your safety and the safety of others. 3) If you disclose the identity of a minor who has ever been abused physically, sexually, or mentally, I am legally bound to disclose this information to the Department of Family and Child Services (DFACS), and 4) If you are involved in a legal matter, I may be required to comply with the demands of the court. This may entail releases treatment records to the court
