Participating in PTC does not constitute a contract for a psychological evaluation or counseling, or issuance of a written report. Services such as counseling are provided by Ellis Evaluation & Consulting Services, strictly on a contractual basis. In any capacity, whether that of education or counseling, the staff of Ellis Evaluation & Consulting Services are bound legally and ethically to respect the confidentiality of its clients. For thisreason, Ellis Evaluations & Consulting Services cannot and will not, unless having on hand a signed Authorization to do so, release information verbally or in writing - including whether or not a given individual has taken part in activities offered by Ellis Evaluation & Consulting Services. Confidentially can and will be suspended, however, per provisions of California law, if the staff of Ellis Evaluation & Consulting Services determines in any direct dealings with its clients that (a) an individual is a serious danger to self or others, or (b) there is a reasonable basis for suspecting child abuse and/or neglect. I have read the above, and consent to avail myself of services offered by Ellis Evaluation & Consulting Services.
