There are very specific circumstances that I would release your clinical records to a third party. Here they are: If you are imminently suicidal or homicidal. If there are issues of child abuse/or child neglect. Additionally, if there is neglect/or abuse of a "vulnerable" adult. ( I am a mandated child abuse reporter) The last issue is if a court subpoenas your records.

I believe in very strict "protection" of your clinical records.
I keep all clinical records in a locked metal cabinet only accessible by me.
I do not share your clinical information with anyone else.
If you choose to contact me via email, please just le ave your contact information and no clinical information. If you contact me by phone, you only need to leave a contact phone #, if it's ok to leave a message, and the best time to call you.
