Scenario
LiorGroup private practice, Orillia
You are a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in an Orillia practice. Under a written agreement, your supervisor, Dana Whitfield, reads your notes and knows clients by name. Your intake form mentions only that therapists 'may consult with colleagues'.
Lior Ben-David, 30, a software developer, is in his third session for layoff anxiety. Reading 'RP(Q)' on your card, he asks: 'What's the Q? And who else knows what I tell you?'
