PARENTS & MINORS. While privacy in therapy is crucial to successful progress, parental involvement can also be essential. It is my policy not to provide treatment to a child under age 13 unless s/he agrees that I can share whatever information I consider necessary with a parent. For children 14 and older, I request an agreement between the child and parents to share general information about treatment progress and attendance, as well as a treatment summary upon completion of therapy. All other communication requires the child’s agreement, unless I feel there is a safety concern (see also above section on Confidentiality for exceptions). In this case, I will make every effort to notify the child of my intention to disclose information and handle any objections raised.
