Confidentiality and Privacy Policy

The law protects the relationship between a client and a psychotherapist, and information cannot be disclosed without written permission.

The law requires I report to the proper authorities any person who is a danger to self or others, or gravely disabled. I must also report all instances of suspected physical and sexual abuse, and neglect of children, the elderly, and the disabled. My records can be subpoenaed by a court of law in criminal liability cases, and those involving child custody disputes.

Barton S. Sloan, LICSW, LCSW, BCD

I am Barton Sloan and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Alaska, Virginia, and Washington state.

I am a therapist who likes to get to the point and achieve the goals that have been set within an atmosphere where my clients feel heard, understood, and safe.

I am experienced in working with adults, children, adolescents, families, and couples for a variety of issues. Although I am adept at various forms of therapy, I primarily practice Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and weave other modalities into this.

Whatever the issue, I focus on healing. My goal is for my clients to heal from whatever has troubled them, and for them to leave therapy with a stronger sense of self and well-being.
