Confidentiality & Privacy Policy
The law protects the relationship between a client and a psychotherapist, and information cannot be disclosed without written permission.
Exceptions include:
Suspected child abuse or dependant adult or elder abuse, for which I am required by law to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately. If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person/s, I must notify the police and inform the intended victim. If a client intends to harm himself or herself, I will make every effort to enlist their cooperation in insuring their safety. If they do not cooperate, I will take further measures without their permission that are provided to me by law in order to ensure their safety.
I am a sole private practice therapist and am not employeed by or associated with any agency or counselor. I welcome your email inquiries. Sending an email to Tami Applegate does not constitute the creation of a therapist-patient relationship. I cannot offer specific mental health advice over the Internet.
