At Achievement Counseling, we are obsessive about your privacy. Your chart contains only necessary information, is seen only by your therapist and kept in a locked drawer. No one knows your name except for Richard and Karen Ziminski. Anything in the computer having to do with clients is password protected.

If we need to send you a bill in the mail, nothing on the envelope mentions counseling. We do not call you without your permission, and we do not leave messages without your permission.

There are some legal limitations to confidentiality such as the law requiring therapists to report suspected cases of child abuse to the Department of Social Services. These exceptions are spelled out in detail on Achievement Counseling's intake forms.
