About Huntingdon Counseling Services
Huntingdon College Counseling Services provides professional counseling services that enable students to improve their mental and emotional health so they are better able to excel academically, professionally, and personally.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality is an essential part of our counseling process. All aspects of your participation in counseling services at HCCS, including the scheduling of appointments, content of counseling sessions, and any records that we keep, are confidential. There are limitations of confidentiality, which include:
- If the client voluntarily completes and signs a release of information form specifying exactly to whom specific information can be released.
- If Counseling Services believes, as a result of information shared, that the client is in imminent danger of doing harm to him/herself or others or is in imminent danger him/herself.
- If Counseling Services believes, as a result of information shared, that abuse of a minor child or a vulnerable adult is occurring, HCCS is required by law to report such a situation to the State Department of Human Resources or to a similar agency in another state.
In the highly unlikely case that a court subpoenas the counselor’s records related to a client involved in a legal case, the counselor might be legally required to surrender them. (The counselor has never been required to do so, but the possibility does exist.)
