Carol A. Baskin-Kacer, LCSW, LMFT (Retired)

The purpose of this website is to provide access to former client records.  Ms. Baskin-Kacer was in private practice of psychotherapy in Slidell, LA from 12/7/1981 until 4/1/2019.  By state statute (see statute below) records must be retained for six years from the date of the last session with the client. If the patient was a child then the records are retained for six years past the age of majority, which in Louisiana is age seventeen.

If you wish to have your records sent to an agency, another therapist, social security disability, an attorney or any other professional entity please follow these directions:

  1. Fill out the form for consent to release information provided below.  It is    imperative that you provide a complete physical address, fax number and full identifying information to insure that your records are received by the entity you request.  Please be advised that if you participated in family or couple sessions everyone who attended the session MUST fill out a release form in order for records to be released.
