Confidentiality

The Psychiatry Clinic adheres to strict confidentiality in accord with federal and state laws. In general, information about your psychiatric care will only be released with your written consent. If you are a client of both the Counseling Center and the Psychiatry Clinic, these agencies may share information to facilitate your care. When communication with the Counseling Center occurs, the receiving party will maintain the confidentiality of your information.

There are rare exceptions to confidentiality. For example, if a client should express or report a specific and serious intent to inflict harm to him/herself or to someone else, your Psychiatrist may break confidentiality, but only to the extent necessary to ensure your safety and/or the safety of others. We also have a duty to report cases of abuse where a minor, an elderly person, or a disabled individual is the victim of the abuse.
