Important Information About Your Care
Limitations of Treatment
While many clients experience significant improvements through our stress management approach, results vary based on individual circumstances, commitment to practice, and many other factors. Stress management therapy is not guaranteed to work for everyone, and some clients may require alternative or additional treatment approaches. We're committed to discussing realistic expectations and adjusting your treatment plan as needed.
Confidentiality Commitment
Your privacy is protected by both ethical standards and law. Information shared during sessions remains confidential with exceptions only as required by law (such as risk of harm to self/others, abuse/neglect of vulnerable persons, or court order). During your first appointment, we'll review these confidentiality limits in detail to ensure you're fully informed.
Informed Consent Process
Before beginning treatment, you'll complete our informed consent process where we'll discuss treatment options, potential risks and benefits, alternative approaches, and answer any questions you may have. This empowers you to make informed decisions about your care and ensures treatment aligns with your personal goals and values.
