I believe that the confidential relationship afforded by the psychotherapeutic endeavor is a key element in its power to bring about insight and change. Without the trust and security that your personal information is being kept confidential, psychotherapy is lacking the essential element instrumental to its success.

Managed care panels, insurance companies, and third party payers all have, as a part of the treatment agreement, access to your personal health information. In many instances, these third parties may also make determinations and treatment decisions regarding the type, frequency and duration of visits.

My personal ethic is to preserve your confidentiality to the fullest extent permissible by law.
