Confidentiality
Confidentiality is an important aspect of therapy. A high value is placed on the confidentiality of the information one shares in therapy. The information shared will remain privileged to myself, as your therapist. You will be asked to sign a Release of Information form if we (the client and therapist) feel that it would be beneficial to the client to share information with a third party.
Confidentiality will only be legally broken in the following circumstances:
- where the client poses potential harm to him/herself
- where the client poses potential harm to another party
- if the client discloses or poses potential abuse to a minor
- if there is a court order or,
-
a response is needed to litigation initiated by a client against the therapist
Fees
There is an hourly fee for service plus a GST charge, that will be discussed prior to the commencement of therapy and which is expected to be paid after each session.
Third party billing is available through some extended health benefits, EAP programs at one's workplace or through individual church or agency sponsorship. It is the responsibility of the client to pursue reembursement of fees.
For further information on some of the names of EAP providers or Insurance Companies that cover the cost of therapy provided by Registered Marriage and Family Therapists please go to www.oamft.on.ca
