Privacy

When working with children, it is essential that the child be able to trust his or her therapist. In that regard, we maintain the confidentiality of a child in the same way we keep the confidentiality of an adult. As the parent or guardian, however, you have the right and responsibility to question and understand the nature of our activities and progress with your child. We must use our clinical discretion as to what is an appropriate disclosure. In general, we will not release specific information that the child provides to us, with the exception of the conditions outlined at the end of this section. We will discuss with you your child’s progress, your participation in treatment, and any information the child has requested we discuss.

In severe cases, we take the help of medicines and therapies that would help our patients to fight back the physical symptoms caused by the anxiety.
