can my child attend therapy without me present?

yes! most often I will work with the child one on one unless goals require otherwise. however, it is highly recommended that a caregiver attends the first intake session with minors to best gather information and establish therapy goals.

is what I share in therapy confidential?

yes! we are bound by my professional ethics and HIPAA to protect your session contents. only in a situation where a client would share that they or another person is at risk of harm i am required to break confidentiality to keep those involved safe.

who can access my therapy records?

you at any time can access your records (& legal caregivers if you are a minor). otherwise, records may be sent by your request to others should you give written permission. nourished mind uses sessions health for an electronic health record platform. sessions health is a HIPAA compliant platform.
