Consent to Counseling Form Our Goal Our goal at G.R.A.C.E. is to provide counseling that is based on biblical principles to help you become all you want to be. We not only look to relieve symptoms and meet challenges, but help you through a variety of techniques. Confidentiality Confidentiality is of paramount important to us at G.R.A.C.E. What you share in the counselor s office is completely confidential and will not be shared. However, there are a couple of scenarios that would warrant that confidentiality being broken. We are obligated by law to report abuse of any kind. Also, if you make threats against another person G.R.A.C.E. is obligated to contact the authorities and/or the person who the threat is made against. If it is deemed that you are a suicide threat the proper authorities will also be contacted as well for your safety. Your case may be discussed with another counselor without revealing names so as so ensure you receive the best possible care. Professionalism-Counselors at G.R.A.C.E. are professional in their approach to counseling and abide by the Code of Ethics of the American Association of Christian Counselor and the American Counseling Association.
