What about confidentiality?

临床信息是保密的,在法律上享有特权. 未经您的书面许可,信息不能透露给任何其他方. 然而,在纽约州,这条规则有几个例外. 如果临床医生认为你对自己或他人有迫在眉睫的伤害威胁, we must disclose this to the appropriate parties, which may include emergency services, your emergency contact, or, if the concern would directly affect the University, the Dean of Student Affairs or the Director of 学生健康. 如果辅导员意识到虐待儿童或老人,他们被法律要求提交报告. 临床医生也必须在法院的命令下公布机密信息.

Because SCS is a health care service, 在医学上必要时,学生健康和学生咨询可以共享信息. 学生健康中心与学生咨询中心遵守同样的保密规则,未经学生书面许可,不得与他人分享信息.

Are records kept in 学生Counseling?

What if I am not happy with my clinician?

如果你不满意你得到的帮助,请与你的临床医生公开讨论这个问题. 这为你提供了获得更有帮助的体验的最好机会. 如果您仍然觉得您的担忧没有得到解决,请联系医生. 范德霍夫电话315-464-3120来讨论你的问题和选择.

Can I choose my own clinician?

Students are paired with clinicians based on clinical need and staff availability; for this reason, SCS不提供选择看哪个临床医生的选项. 有时, 学生们要求只与特定性别的临床医生一起工作, 比赛, 性取向, 宗教, 或种族. 通常, 这是出于担心与学生不同的人可能无法理解或与学生一起工作. SCS provides culturally-sensitive services and seeks to provide an environment in which students feel safe exploring difficult personal issues; however, 这种安全性不仅仅是基于治疗师的人口统计数据. 仅仅根据人口统计学来判断临床医生的潜在疗效对学生和临床医生都是有害的. 出于这些原因, 学生咨询并不实行基于人口统计学的学生与治疗师的“匹配”.

Are there any fees for services?

服务 are free of charge, 虽然学生负责任何处方药物的费用或与药物管理相关的实验室工作.

Does therapy really work?
