Is Counseling Confidential?

YES!

The Center for Counseling maintains strict standards of confidentiality . No record of counseling goes into your administrative school records, and school officials are not notified that you are/have been receiving counseling. Family members will not be notified that you are in counseling unless we have your written permission to do so. We will not speak to family about the contents of your counseling without your written permission. The only exceptions to the confidentiality policy (allowed by state and Federal statue) is when the Center for Counseling believes that a student's life is in danger, or when the safety of others is at risk. Feel free to discuss any concerns about confidentiality with your counselor.
