Discrepancy in Therapy 

Mental health is still a sensitive subject in today’s culture, with current politics and the rise in AI computing not helping make it any easier to discuss or keep private. While it is healthier for us as individuals and as a community to bring mental health concerns into the light, we’re not always ready for that or it may not seem safe to do so at times. HIPAA laws already dictate that you’re information must be kept secret, but with exceptions pending. I know that feeling that you’re safe to discuss your concerns with privacy is an imperative piece to be even willing to come to counseling at all. If billing thru insurance some information is required to be shared  frequently such as dates of service and diagnostic codes, but even with insurance I do my best to keep as much of your information out of any corporations hands or servers. If you’re really concerned about your privacy than it is heavily encouraged to pay for services out of pocket, so that that privacy can be completely guaranteed to your satisfaction.
