EDMONDS, Wash., July 8, 2015 -- Dr. Gregory Jantz, founder of The Center • A Place of
HOPE in Edmonds, Washington, delivered a recent statement about the
abuse of trust and lack of confidentiality by treatment professionals,
counselors and others confided to high profile, high net worth
celebrities, athletes and business executives.
"At a time when high profile
individuals are most vulnerable, confidants they trust the most are
breaking that trust. Too many are openly discussing in articles, online
posts, in on air or print magazine interviews their high profile
clients' struggles in an effort to gain notoriety."
"Those in the public
spotlight, and those who run or manage large corporations, deal with
intense scrutiny. The pressure can be overwhelming. The number one
self-reporting issue among high-profile individuals in depression,
followed by addiction and eating disorders."
"The result for the
high-profile individual – whose constantly-in-the-spotlight challenges
and struggles can be debilitating – is to shy away from the treatment
they so badly need because they feel they cannot trust anyone."
"Trained counselors and
healthcare providers agree to a code of ethics to protect the privacy of
their clients. So why do trained healthcare and spiritual professionals
feel the need to publicize their clients' struggles? Confidentiality is
at the core of a treatment professional ethos. Even if it is perceived
common knowledge that an individual is receiving treatment, a
professional should not further the conversation with public comments,"
Dr. Jantz continued.
The Center • A Place of HOPE,
recently recognized as one of the top ten facilities in the U.S. for the
treatment of depression, provides a world-class treatment facility to
the high profile, high privacy and high net worth individuals from
around the world. It holds their privacy and confidentiality absolutely
sacrosanct.
"If we were to ever publicize
their identity, my concern would be that others who desperately needed
intensive care – but could not afford to have publicity about their
treatment – would be pushed away at a time when they and their families
needed it the most."
"We treat actors, performers,
professional athletes, current political figures, Fortune 100 C-level
executives and mega-church clergy. We understand their need for absolute
anonymity. So we created a private sanctuary that provides the lasting
treatment they need to regain their peace, their strength, and their
lives."
The Center's high-profile
facility accommodates only one individual or one family at a time to
ensure absolute privacy. The gated, luxury estate sits on two tranquil,
beautiful acres secluded in the hills thirty minutes north of Seattle.
Towering pines, waterfalls, outdoor gazebos and ponds dot the wooded
property.
"We take great care to ensure
the entire environment meets the high standards of our clients so they
can feel completely comfortable and focus on getting well," Dr. Jantz
said.
