At LifeCare Centres, we know that client confidentiality and privacy are the most important ingredients to good therapy. It is our number one concern because we understand it is the primary reason psychotherapy works. In conjunction with this, an integral part of LifeCare’s comprehensive treatment is the collaboration of our team in the care of our clients. We believe that every client deserves more than what just one professional alone can offer and that we are stronger together. That’s why we collaborate as a team about the care and treatment of our clients through professional supervision, case consultation, and therapist training and development. In this way, every client receives the combined expertise of decades of psychotherapy knowledge and experience. We do this in a highly confidential manner so that no identifying information is ever shared. We ensure our clients know their personal business is always protected throughout every level of the process of collaborating their care and treatment.
We know that some clients may be concerned that their private information may be known by others when it comes to collaborating. For this reason, some clients may be drawn to a lone therapist working out of their basement with no reception people, no intake people, no team. However, we strongly believe that collaborative care is the leading example in our field, and offers our clients an exceptional level of care and expertise. Our strict policies surrounding protecting client information, ensure our clients receive all the benefits of collaboration along with the protection of their privacy.
We practice in a friendly, collaborative way by obtaining valuable input and expertise from one another with respect to our client’s presenting problems and issues. We maintain the confidentiality and privacy of the clients we work with, even if we collaborate with other therapists for the care of these clients. We understand that this sense of security is important to them and helps them trust us to help solve their problems. While using non-identifying information in case collaboration and supervision, our clients know that a team has a thorough understanding of the problems they are facing so they can receive the care they need and desire.
So if your looking for leaders in the field of psychotherapy providing exceptional care and treatment, please contact us today for a free 15 minute consultation.
We look forward to caring for you and your life!
