Therapy Sessions:
Laws in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia law require confidentiality in all therapeutic sessions. Therapists in these jurisdictions must keep all information disclosed to them in your session strictly confidential. No information from your session should be revealed to anyone, or any company or organization without your written consent, unless otherwise required by law. Situations that would allow the release of your information include the following: If your therapist identifies you as a serious danger to yourself or others, or determines you are "gravely disabled" (i.e. unable to care for yourself), your therapist is required by law to break confidentiality  in order to protect you, or protect others from you. Your therapist is also held responsible by law to report you to the appropriate authorities if you reveal any involvement in child or elderly abuse.
