The law protects the relationship between a client and a psychotherapist, and your information cannot be disclosed without written permission. However, there are exceptions where disclosure is required by law:

Suspected Child, Dependent Adult, or Elder Abuse: If such abuse is suspected, I am legally required to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.
Threats of Harm to Others: If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person, I must notify the police and inform the intended victim.
Self-Harm or Suicide Risk: If a client intends to harm themselves, I will make every effort to enlist their cooperation to ensure their safety. If they do not cooperate, I may take further measures, as allowed by law, to protect them.
