Your Privacy and Confidentiality
We take your privacy seriously.
Establishing a working relationship and mutual trust is very important to our practice. We understand that for you to feel comfortable talking to us about private and revealing information, you need a safe place to talk about anything you’d like without fear of that information leaving the room. We take protecting your privacy and confidentiality seriously.
​
Laws are also in place to protect your privacy. The Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act (HIPAA) contains a privacy rule that creates national standards to protect individuals’ medical records and personal health information, including information about psychotherapy and mental health.
​
The HIPAA Privacy Rule is designed to be a minimum level of protection. You can contact the Virginia State Board of Psychology to find out its laws and protections.
