CONFIDENTIALITY & TEENS
In the state of Washington individuals who are age 13 or older have their own confidentiality. As a parent it is important for you to understand that legally I am unable to disclose to you what your teen discusses with me in his/her counseling sessions without the teen signing a release of information allowing me to do so.
Please keep in mind that the law also allows for confidentiality to be broken under certain circumstances.
To insure that your teenager understands what can and can not be discussed with you I ask them to sign a detailed agreement. To view please click here
