You may expect of me dignified, professional conduct at all times. It is your right, and you may expect that I will respect your dignity and autonomy. Being mindful of the intimacy and responsibility inherent in the counseling relationship, I will see that we build and nurture appropriate boundaries while I seek to promote your interests and welfare, and to meet your needs, according to a treatment plan we agree upon. I will not practice any discrimination against you and I will accept, respect and give attention to your beliefs, values and way of life, letting these influence your decisions and your goals and progress in therapy. You may be assured that in all matters pertaining to your treatment and to the content of our sessions you will enjoy complete confidentiality, except were the law imposes on the therapist a duty to report (RCW 18.19.180). |
