The Student Development & Counseling Center staff regard your inquiry, concerns, and discussions as private and confidential. The counselors at the Counseling Center are under ethical and legal obligations not to release any information regarding your contact with the center without your written permission. The counselors follow the ethical and legal guidelines of their profession (www.counseling.org) and licensing board (www.lpcboard.org). These guidelines and the limits of confidentiality (for example, in situations where the student is of danger to themselves or others) are fully discussed during the student’s initial session.
