PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY

The state of New Mexico legally recognizes that communication between a counselor and his/her client is privileged. We will not disclose your contacts with us to your spouse, parents, professors, or anyone else. The counseling staff works as a team. Your counselor may consult with other counseling staff to provide the best possible care.

EXCEPTIONS TO CONFIDENTIALITY

Staff are legally required to report to the authorities responsible to ensure safety if:

...you are in imminent danger to yourself or are a significant danger to someone else

...you are abusing children or vulnerable adults or inform us concerning someone who is doing so

...records are subpoenaed in instances such as a court order issued by a judge requiring release of information
