GENERAL PRIVACY STATEMENT

We have a very simple privacy policy. We keep everything we can confidential to the highest level permitted by law. That means we don't share any of your information with third parties.

All contacts with Cross Cultural Expressions Community Conseling Center, including telephone, mail, in-person interview, etc., are considered confidential and will not be shared with an outside agency or person without your prior consent, in writing. We appreciate the need for confidentiality, both in dealing with people and in keeping secure records.

EXCEPTIONS

A number of laws govern our clinicians, and these laws require us to report any reasonable suspicion of child abuse, which can include physical, sexual, emotional abuse, and/or neglect. We must also report any suspicion of physical abuse of a dependent adult who is 18 years or older, and we must report elder abuse, of anyone 65 years or older. In addition, if the clinician has reasonable cause to believe that you are a danger to yourself or to the person or property of another, then disclosure may be made to an appropriate person or agency to prevent the threatened danger.
