CONFIDENTIALITY: All information is confidential and that confidence is strictly upheld. Personal information may be accessed or reviewed with clinical or administrative staff employed or contracted by Anderson Orr.
Anyone associated with this practice with access to your personal information is bound by law and ethical duty to protect
your confidentiality. No information on your presence or participation
here will be disclosed without
your written authorization to do so. However, counselors and/or therapists
are bound by law and ethical duty to the following exceptions to client confidentiality: - Suspected child and
elder abuse and/or neglect must be reported.

Email Disclaimer: If you desire to communicate via email I am willing to do so. However,
email correspondence is usually not a secure medium and therefore poses increased risk to one's confidentiality. Emails,
even when "deleted," remain on computers and servers and are capable of being retrieved unless properly erased/overwritten.
