Confidentiality and Informed Consent. As a licensed psychologist, I protect the confidentiality of the communications with my clients, including my coaching clients. I will only release information about our work to others with your written permission, or if I am required to do so by a court order. There are some situations in which I am legally obligated to breach your confidentiality in order to protect others from harm, including 1) if I have information that indicates that a child or elderly or disabled person is being abused, I must report that to the appropriate local or state agency and 2) if a client is in imminent risk to her/himself or makes threats of imminent violence against another person, I am required to take protective actions. These situations rarely occur in coaching practices, but if such a situation does occur, I will make every effort to discuss it with you before taking any action. It is impossible to fully protect the confidentiality of information that is transmitted electronically. This is particularly true of e-mail and other information stored on computers connected to the Internet, and if you use a cordless or cell phone.
