Confidentiality and Privacy

Clause: Confidentiality and Privacy Agreement

By using the online psychotherapy platform “Cure of Mind,” the client acknowledges and agrees to maintain strict confidentiality and privacy regarding all information shared during the therapy sessions. This includes any personal, medical, or sensitive data disclosed to the therapist (psychologist or medical doctor or nutritionist) during the course of treatment.

“Cure of Mind” commits to safeguarding the client’s personal information and adheres to all applicable laws and regulations pertaining to data protection and privacy. The client’s data will be securely stored and accessible only to authorized personnel involved in the therapy process.

The client agrees not to record, share, or distribute any part of the therapy sessions, including audio, video, or written content, without explicit written consent from both “Cure of Mind” and the therapist (psychologist or medical doctor or nutritionist).

In the event of any legal obligation to disclose confidential information, “Cure of Mind” will make reasonable efforts to notify the client beforehand, except in cases where immediate disclosure is required by law or poses a risk to the client’s safety or the safety of others.

“Cure of Mind” encourages open and honest communication during therapy sessions; however, the client is responsible for ensuring their online environment is private and free from potential eavesdropping or unauthorized access during sessions.

The client understands that while “Cure of Mind” takes all necessary precautions to maintain confidentiality, the use of online platforms carries inherent risks related to data transmission, and “Cure of Mind” cannot guarantee absolute security. Therefore, the client assumes responsibility for any risks associated with sharing information through the online platform.

By proceeding with therapy sessions on “Cure of Mind,” the client acknowledges and accepts the terms of this confidentiality and privacy agreement, providing their informed consent to engage in therapy under these conditions.

Professional Liability

“Cure of Mind” is a platform that connects clients with selected licensed psychologists, medical doctors, and nutritionists who provide professional psychotherapy, nutritional and medical services. The liability for the provision of these services lies solely with the individual professionals conducting the therapy sessions.

All therapists, medical doctors, and nutritionists associated with “Cure of Mind” are independent practitioners, responsible for their own actions and conduct during therapy sessions. “Cure of Mind” does not directly oversee or monitor the content or conduct of individual therapy sessions due to privacy reasons. As such, “Cure of Mind” cannot be held liable for any professional misconduct, malpractice, or ethical violations that may occur during therapy sessions.

Clients engaging in therapy sessions through “Cure of Mind” understand that the psychologists, medical doctors, and nutritionists are bound by their respective professional codes of ethics, licensing regulations, and applicable laws governing their practice. Clients are encouraged to discuss any concerns or issues with their respective psychologist, medical doctor, or nutritionist directly.

In the event of any disputes or concerns related to the services provided by the psychologists, medical doctors, or nutritionists, clients agree to address such matters directly with the professional practitioner involved. “Cure of Mind” will not mediate or be held liable for any disputes between clients and professionals arising from therapy sessions conducted through the platform.

“Cure of Mind” may provide general guidelines and policies to promote a safe and positive therapeutic environment, but clients acknowledge that the final responsibility for adherence to ethical and professional standards lies with the individual professionals providing the services.

By using the “Cure of Mind” platform and engaging in sessions with the licensed psychologists, medical doctors, and nutritionists, clients implicitly acknowledge and accept that “Cure of Mind” cannot be held responsible for any professional liability or misconduct that may arise during the course of therapy sessions. Clients agree to release “Cure of Mind” from any claims or damages related to the professional conduct of the therapists, medical doctors, and nutritionists providing services on the platform.

This form is intended to give you information that will help you make an informed decision about whether or not to engage in these treatments.

Therapist Qualifications:

Your therapist is a licensed mental health professional who has completed an advanced degree in psychology or a related field and has been trained to provide psychotherapy. Your nutritionist and medical doctor are also licensed professionals with expertise in their respective fields. They are committed to providing you with the highest quality of care possible.

Goals and Objectives:

The goals of psychotherapy are to help you overcome emotional or psychological difficulties that are causing distress in your life. Nutritional counseling aims to support your dietary needs, promote healthy eating habits, and address specific nutritional concerns. Medical counseling focuses on providing you with medical guidance, treatment options, and managing your overall health.

Treatment Methods:

Your therapist will use a variety of treatment methods in psychotherapy, including talk therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness techniques, or other approaches. Your nutritionist will provide nutritional education, create personalized meal plans, and offer guidance on making healthy food choices. Your medical doctor will assess your medical history, perform necessary examinations, refer you for lab tests and recommend appropriate medical treatments.

Risks and Benefits:

Psychotherapy, nutritional counseling, and medical counseling can be beneficial in various ways, such as improving your emotional well-being, enhancing your nutrition, and promoting better physical health. However, there are also some risks associated with these treatments. Risks may include experiencing uncomfortable emotions during therapy, potential changes in your relationships, and the possibility of addressing challenging nutritional or medical issues.

Confidentiality:

Your therapist, nutritionist, and medical doctor are committed to protecting your privacy and will keep all information discussed during your sessions confidential, with some exceptions. These exceptions include situations where there is an imminent risk of harm to yourself or others, or where there is a legal obligation to disclose information.

Duration and Frequency of Sessions:

The length and frequency of therapy sessions, nutritional counseling sessions, and medical counseling appointments will depend on your individual needs and goals. Typically, therapy and counseling sessions are scheduled weekly or biweekly and last for approximately 50 minutes. While nutritional counselling appointments last up 45 minutes and medical counseling appointments last up to 30 minutes and their frequency may vary.

Fees and Payment:

Fees are charged on a session-by-session or appointment basis and may be covered by insurance if this is available to you.
