Credentials
I am recognized (Registrant #50128) by the National Register of
Health Service Providers in Psychology since 2001. The Colorado
State Board of Psychologist Examiners has also licensed me as
a Psychologist (#1678) since 1993. I am licensed as a School Psychologist
(#0027888) by the Colorado Department of Education since 1991.
My degrees/diplomas include:
-
Postdoctoral Fellowship in Clinical Child Psychology,
1991, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center.
-
Doctor of Philosophy in Educational
(School) Psychology, 1990, Arizona State University.

Psychology), 1981, Idaho State University.

Client
Rights
In the State of Colorado, mental health clients are entitled
to receive detailed information regarding their services. Specifically,
-
You are entitled
to receive information from me about my methods, the
techniques I use, and my fee structure.
-
You can seek a second
opinion from another psychologist or terminate services
at any time.
-
In a professional
relationship, sexual intimacy between a psychologist and a
client is never appropriate. If sexual intimacy
occurs, it should be reported to the State Grievance Board
immediately.
-
Confidentiality
is another important area governed by State Regulations. Generally,
important information that you, or your child, reveal during
therapy, consultation, or assessment will not be disclosed
to others, unless you give written consent. However, Colorado
law does specify exceptions to your right of total confidentiality.
Licensed Psychologists are permitted, and often required,
to disclose information in cases of child abuse or neglect;
in situations that involve a threat of harm to self or others;
in the event that a client becomes gravely disabled; or when
your written permission is given to release information to
others.
Moreover, in Colorado, adolescents
are entitled to privileged communication when they reach the
age of 14. Therefore, in working with individuals age 14 or
over, psychologists are not obligated to reveal confidential
information to parents or other individuals without written
permission, subject to the same exceptions listed above. For
children below the age of 14 the parent holds the privilege.
These circumstances are listed in Colorado Statutes (see section
12-43-218, C.R.S., in particular). If any of these situations
should arise, I will discuss all applicable legal requirements
with you.
