E-mail is generally not a secure form of communication. You understand that if you choose to communicate with the therapist by e-mail, the confidentiality of any e-mailed information cannot be ensured. Although each therapist's computer is secure, no one can guarantee who views any email while in transit.

If you ask for a response from the therapist and give the therapist your e-mail address, you are granting consent for the therapist to respond to you by e-mail, unless you request that a response be made by another means that you specify in the e-mail to the therapist.
