As your therapist, our job is to provide support for you in dealing with the psychological, behavioral, emotional and interpersonal issues you present. It is not appropriate, therefore, for us to become involved in your legal matters (e.g. divorce/child custody), because that pusts us in an adversarial forensic role. If, nonetheless, you do require our involvement, please contact us to discuss your specific needs and concerns.
"Will my parents know what I talk about with my counselor?"
All sessions are kept confidential in accordance with state law. In the state of Washington in order for a counselor to talk to parents/guardians of children over the age of 13 a special form is signed giving the counselor this permission. Of course both parent/guardian and child are involved in this process. We encourage family participation in counseling and view this as a collaborative relationship.
"Will I be able to know what my child is working on in counseling?"
We view the counseling process as a collaborative partnership between parents, children, and siblings. It is important to remember that in order to create a safe space for change confidentiality must be upheld.
