Confidentiality & Special Concerns
Mentalshifthub.com recognizes that confidentiality is essential for effective therapy or counselling. We believe that for training, teaching or counselling to work best, you must feel safe about attending or sharing personal information about yourself with you’re the teacher or counsellor. When you share information about yourself with your therapist, he or she will respect the importance of that information. Counselling records are destroyed 8 years after your last contact with us in a way that protects your privacy. Under most circumstances, all information about you obtained in the therapy or counselling process (including your identity as a client) is confidential and will be related to other parties only with your expressed written consent and approval. However, it is because of the strength of our belief in the importance of you feeling safe about sharing information about yourself with your therapist that we want to inform you about the circumstances in which we may share information about you without your consent:
- Information released to other professionals involved in your treatment. Most commonly, this would be the other members of the therapy or counseling staff at mentalshift.com or your medical service providers
- If you are under 18, your parents or legal guardian(s) may have access to your records and may authorize their release to other parties.
- If you are reasonably suspected to be in imminent danger of harming yourself or someone else.
- If you disclose abuse or neglect of children, the elderly, or disabled persons.
- If you disclose sexual misconduct by a therapist.
- To qualified personal for certain kinds of program audits or evaluations.
- In criminal proceedings.
- In legal or regulatory actions against a professional.
- Upon the issuance of a court order or lawfully issued subpoena

- Whenever clients request a medical report, therapeutic notes will contain diagnosis and any other personally identifiable information.

Unplanned Encounters With Your Therapist
Incidental encounters are unplanned, unexpected, meetings and interactions between a client and a therapist outside therapy or counseling sessions. This can be unavoidable if you and your therapist stay within the same neighborhood or state. In order to protect your anonymity, confidentiality, and identity, a therapist may choose to ignore the encounter or simply offer a smile when there is an incidental encounter. If you’ll like to exchange pleasantries, your therapist would most likely oblige you, however, would not initiate the conversation. Your privacy is important during and outside therapy or counseling. This is an ethical practice, however, if you’ll like to have a different type of experience when there is an incidental encounter, bring it up during the sessions or counselling.
