If I Meet You Outside The Office: Since some people may feel uncomfortable about the counseling relationship outside of the office, my policy is that I will not greet you in public unless you initiate the contact or it is fairly clear there is no one else around. This is mentioned so that it is clear that I am not trying to be rude, but protect your confidentiality, if you so desire. If you like, I will usually take a couple of minutes to chat.
