CANCELLATION:

If a session needs to be canceled or rescheduled, this must be communicated at least 24 hours PRIOR to the scheduled time. Communication includes a text message, phone call, or email to your therapist. If you do not notify your therapist at least 24 hours prior to the session start time, the session rate is still due in full. This is because this time could not be offered to another client. Exceptions to this include true emergencies that preclude session attendance.

PAYMENT:

Payment for each session must be completed within one week of attending a session. Payments are typically made via Venmo and will be discussed during your first session with your therapist.

LEGAL:

We do not go to court. The starting fee for preparing documents related to a client's court case is double the client's session fee but no less than $125 per hour.

MANDATED REPORTING:

Duty to Warn and Protect - When a client discloses intentions or a plan to harm another person, the mental health professional is required to warn the intended victim and report this information to legal authorities. In cases in which the client discloses or implies a plan for suicide, the mental health professional is required to notify legal authorities and make reasonable attempts to notify the family of the client.

Abuse of Children and Vulnerable Adults - If a client states or suggests that he or she is abusing a child (or vulnerable adult) or has recently abused a child (or vulnerable adult), or a child (or vulnerable adult) is in danger of abuse, the mental health professional is required to report this information to the appropriate social service and/or legal authorities.

Prenatal Exposure to Controlled Substances - Mental Health care professionals are required to report admitted prenatal exposure to controlled substances that are potentially harmful.

Minors/Guardianship - Parents or legal guardians of non-emancipated minor clients have the right to access the clients’ records.
