Confidentiality is : guaranteed by law in the US. No provider can release medical or psychiatric records without written permission from the patient. At your first visit, ask the psychologist all these questions. When you make the appointment, ask if the provider has expertise in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. Seeking help when you need it shows that you have insight, strength & maturity. Be well.
