“I am ashamed of seeing a psychologist. What if my family, friends or coworkers find out?”
Shame is an emotion that will be explored and treated in therapy. Your consultations are totally confidential, and nothing will be communicated to anyone else without your prior authorization. In extreme circumstances, such as child abuse or violence, there can be a legal requirement on my part in which case I will also inform you.
