Counseling

Policies

Payment of fees is expected at the time of appointment.

Phone calls are free for the first ten minutes, and then will be charged per your established fee.

If you need to cancel your appointment, please let me know at least 24 hours in advance. Missed sessions or cancellations within 24 hours of a scheduled appointment will be charged at the hourly fee.

I am bound by professional ethics to protect client rights to confidential communications in regards to their involvement in counseling. All issues discussed in the course of counseling are strictly confidential. By law, health care information pertaining to you may be released only with your written consent or the consent of a parent or guardian.

It is every client's right to disengage from counseling with or without notice to the treatment provider. However, I would appreciate notification of termination of therapy. I find it helpful to arrange a final session to explore termination and review counseling goals and progress.
