If you’ve ever considered reaching out for therapy but stopped short, you’re not alone. One of the most common concerns people have is:
“Are mental health consultations confidential?”

At PeachTree Behavioral, LLC, we want you to feel safe and supported every step of the way. Whether you're facing anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, or simply navigating a tough time, knowing your privacy is respected can make all the difference.

Why Confidentiality Matters in Mental Health

Mental health consultations are deeply personal. You’re sharing emotions, struggles, and vulnerable thoughts—and that takes courage.

Confidentiality ensures that:

• Your sessions are private
• Your information stays secure
• You can speak openly without fear of judgment or exposure

Without this foundation of trust, healing becomes harder. That’s why confidential mental health consultations are not just a preference—they’re a right.

What Does Confidential Mean at PeachTree Behavioral?

At PeachTree, confidentiality is more than a policy—it’s part of our promise to you.

Our consultations:

• Are conducted in private, secure environments
• Follow all HIPAA-compliant privacy laws
• Never share your information without your written consent
• Allow you to choose your preferred method of communication (phone or in-person)

Whether you're a first-time visitor or a returning client, your trust stays protected.

Who Can Access My Information?

Only you and your assigned licensed mental health professional have access to your session details. In rare cases, information may be shared if:

• You give written permission
• There is risk of harm to self or others
• Required by legal obligation

But outside of these exceptions, your story stays with you and your clinician.

Why Clients Value Confidential Consultations

Many clients share how important privacy was in their decision to finally seek help. It gives them the freedom to:

• Talk about difficult emotions without shame
• Process trauma or past experiences safely
• Explore substance use concerns honestly
• Ask questions without worrying about being judged

As one client, Sarah M., shared:

“The consultation helped me understand myself better and gave me tools I could start using right away. I felt heard and validated.”
