VII. DISCLOSURE AND INFORMED CONSENT
 
A. The more we know, the more we can support your healing. The client also agrees to disclose details of the past or present psychological or psychiatric treatment. Consultanting and counseling are not the same. Likewise, therapy and other modes of the professional or medical psychological examination shall not be considered equivalent to consultanting.

B. Law for Love is not a licensed clinical mental health provider. Consultanting is not a registered psychologist or psychiatrist, nor a licensed therapist. Consultant does not engage in therapy with clients. In entering into the consultanting relationship, and signing the Agreement, you agree that if any mental health difficulties arise during the course of the consultanting relationship, you will notify Consultant immediately so that Consultant can discuss an appropriate referral with you.

 

VIII. CONFIDENTIALITY

All information about the consultant/client relationship shall remain strictly confidential except in very rare circumstances where decreed by law (i.e., where the court might issue a subpoena for the file or information.)

If you wish for Consultant to speak to someone outside this Agreement, you need to give Consultant written permission (original letter, fax or email) to do so. Exceptions to confidentiality, of course, relate to circumstances such as intent to seriously harm someone, child abuse, thoughts of suicide, etc. Otherwise, all remaining information is kept confidential.

It is also important to note that in some situations, it is important to be aware of the use of technology in that for some clients, there is a risk in using certain media such as the internet, mobile phones, and cordless phones.
