Disclosure Statement

As a Licensed Psychologist in the State of Colorado, I adhere to applicable State Laws governing my Practice. As such, I would like to provide the following information to all prospective clients.

The Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies has the responsibility of monitoring the practice of licensed psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, licensed professional counselors, licensed marriage and family therapists, certified school psychologists, and unlicensed individuals who practice psychotherapy. In addition, Colorado law requires that all psychotherapists provide their clients with the following information. Please read this information carefully.

Any concerns or complaints about Dr. Edward Johnson's professional practice should be directed to:

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:

1. You are entitled to receive information from me about my methods, the techniques I use, and my fee structure.
   

2. You can seek a second opinion from another psychologist or terminate services at any time.
   

3. 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.
   

4. 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.
