One of our top priorities at LiveOak Behavioral Psychology is toprotect your child's privacy, andthe privacy of your family. Whenyou have any questions
regarding your child's treatmentor if your child's provider has anyinformation to communicate aftera session, the provider will inviteyou from the lobby into a private
room for consultation.There may be times (e.g., aftersocial skills group sessions) whenthe provider will not be able tospeak with you individually. In
these instances, the provider willfurnish you with a feedback form,which contains a description ofthe session. If you havequestions that are not
immediately answered, pleasecall or email the provider.
If you have concerns regarding thesteps we are taking to maintain
the privacy of personalinformation, please contact MaryPrinzo, Office Manager at (985)
327-7256 [email protected].
