Confidentiality

Confidentiality is a personal and ethical responsibility in the mental health profession. All contact that you have with Tim, whether by telephone, in-person, or mail, is considered “privileged communication” and will not be shared with any person or agency, without your prior consent in writing.

However, exceptions to confidentiality do exist and are as follows: Suspected child abuse or neglect; Suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a vulnerable adult; There is reasonable-cause to believe that you are a danger to yourself, another person, another person's property, or you are emotionally disabled.

Minors who consent to their own treatment have the legal right to give, or refuse to give, consent for disclosures to others. However, Virginia statutes state that the parents, regardless of custody, may not be denied access to the health records of their minor child. Therefore, the minor does not have the legal right to refuse parents access to treatment information, unless the provider determines that disclosure would cause "substantial harm to the minor or another person" or a court determines "good cause" to disallow disclosure.

Please note that most insurance carriers require the patient to sign a release of information allowing the clinican to release the diagnoisis to the insurance carrier.
