Office Policies
These policies statements have been developed for your information and our discussion. Please talk with us about any questions you may have. We want you to know your client rights as one part of developing a satisfactory professional relationship with you.
CONFIDENTIALITY is maintained regarding all information except in emergency situations that involve serious harm to you or others, as in the case of suicide, child abuse or grave disability. Should I seek consultation from my colleagues to improve my ability to help you, you name will be withheld. In all other situations, I will only release information regarding your treatment if I have your written permission.
TREATMENT APPROACH: Treatment will focus on assisting you with nutrition knowledge, behavioral strategies, and cognitive restructuring in order to reach a desired health goal.
