Privacy Policy & Confidentiality

At Feel Happy Counseling and Coaching, protecting your privacy is a fundamental part of the therapeutic relationship. The law protects the relationship between a client and a psychotherapist, and information cannot be disclosed without your written permission.

Confidentiality Exceptions

There are limited legal exceptions where disclosure may be required:

• Child or Elder Abuse: Suspected child abuse or dependent adult/elder abuse must be reported to the appropriate authorities immediately, as required by Florida law.
• Threat to Others: If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person, we are required to notify the police and inform the intended victim.
• Risk of Self-Harm: If a client intends to harm themselves, we will make every effort to enlist their cooperation in ensuring their safety. If they do not cooperate, we will take further measures provided by law to ensure safety.

HIPAA Compliance

Feel Happy Counseling and Coaching complies with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Your health information is stored securely and will never be shared without your explicit written consent, except as required by law.
