Confidentiality

As a counselor, I believe it is important to provide every student with a safe and confidential environment. I believe this helps to build trust between myself and the students. This means that I will not discuss anything said by any student during counseling meetings unless I find out that the student has been hurt by someone or if the student desires to hurt someone. I can speak in general terms about the general nature of the counseling meetings. However, I will not discuss any specific conversation or activity that took place.

I do encourage students to talk with their parents about our discussions in the counseling environment.
