Cancellation

If you need to reschedule or cancel an appointment for any reason, I request that you do so as soon as possible.

I have a 48-hour cancellation policy - this means that you will be billed for missed appointments that are not cancelled at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled time.

If you need to cancel or change an appointment, you may contact me to set up a new appointment time.

Confidentiality

Your (your child's) discussions with a Psychologist are confidential - this means discussions with my client(s) are protected by law. I may not share confidential information to anyone about my client without his/her (or gaurdian's) consent. I must also maintain records in such a way that protects your (your child's) confidentiality.

There are situations in which I am legally required to break confidentiality and share some information.  These include the following circumstances:

  • If I believe the client is in danger of harming him/herself or another person
  • If I suspect abuse or neglect of a child, older adult (age 65 or older), or dependent adult
  • If an adult client is unable to provide basic care for him/herself
  • If I am court-ordered to release information as part of a legal proceeding
In the event that one of the above limits of confidentiality arises, it is the responsibility of the Psychologist to continue to respect the information that the client shares. Therefore, if a limit of confidentiality should be necessary, I will be mindful to only share information that is required by the law and ethics of my profession.
