Counseling

Yes! Legally and ethically, all counselors are required to maintain confidentiality with their clients.

There are a few exceptions:

  • Reporting child abuse,
  • Adult dependent abuse,
  • Elderly abuse,
  • If someone is actively suicidal or homicidal, counselors are allowed, and in some cases mandated by law, to act to ensure the safety of clients or others.
