Yes, everything we talk about is held in strictest confidence.  Counselors are legally and ethically bound to maintain confidentiality, unless express written permission is given by the client to share that information with specific others.  The only exceptions to confidentiality are when there is any form of child or elder abuse; or when someone is a serious threat to harm themselves or someone else.  In those cases, counselors are legally required to report to the appropriate authorities.

We do not work as a "provider," nor are we "in-network" with any insurance companies. However depending upon your insurance plan, you may be able to obtain "out-of-network" reimbursements for counseling received.  We regularly help our clients with obtaining their "out-of-network" benefits and are happy to provide any documentation requested by your insurance company so you can file and receive those reimbursements directly from them.
