Therapy is most effective when a trusting relationship exists between the psychologist and the patient. Privacy is especially important in earning and keeping that trust.  As a result, it is important for children to have a “zone of privacy” where children feel free to discuss personal matters without fear that their thoughts and feelings will be immediately communicated to their parents.

It is Thrive’s policy to provide you with general information about your child’s treatment, but NOT to share specific information your child has disclosed to me without your child’s agreement.   If your child’s risk-taking behavior becomes serious, and we feel that your child is in such danger, we will communicate this information to you.
