Privacy Policy

Life Coaching: Due to the nature of the coaching relationship and as instructed by the ICF Code of Ethics, all information acquired by the coach, be it through assessments, interviews or coaching conversations, will be kept strictly confidential. This information belongs to the client.”

Psychotherapy: Confidentiality is an important aspect of counseling. This means that under normal circumstances no one outside the Counseling Center is given any information — even the fact that you have been here — without your expressed written consent. Our primary goal is to provide you with a safe environment in which you feel comfortable to discuss your concerns.

I follow all professional, legal and ethical guidelines of the American Psychological Association and the state of Georgia. As a part of our service provision, we are required to maintain confidential records of all counseling sessions. This information is not included in your academic record, and it is not available to any other office on campus without your expressed written permission.

Please be aware that there are certain circumstances in which therapists are required to breach confidentiality without a client's permission. Therapists are mandated to report certain information in which there is the possibility of harm to a client or to another person, in cases of child or elder abuse, or under court order.
