SECTION 2: CLIENT AGREEMENT

Thank you for reading and completing each section as indicated
Counselor Credentials
I have been informed and understand that all counseling, training, testing, and other counseling-related services are solely provided by an individual or individuals whose focus will be to seek healing and restoration through God’s word, prayer, and godly counsel, and to teach me, the client, how to live in God's best for my life and relationships. I understand that my counselor is a Licensed and Ordained Minister and is Certified/Licensed by the National Christian Counselors Association. My counselor is not a therapist or practitioner licensed by the State of Kentucky, and they do not intend to portray themselves as such. I trust that my counselor is held to a standard of ongoing training, credentialing, ethical practice, and professional excellence. I understand that I have the right to request proof of my counselor's credentials at any time. (If client is under 18 years of age, parent or guardian should type their initials here) *
Initial here to indicate your understanding and agreement with above
Client Confidentiality
I understand that all counseling-related communications, records, and contacts with Life Training Christian Counseling will be held in strict confidence and made accessible only to those on the Life Training counseling team who are involved in my care. In accordance with state law, information regarding my counseling with Life Training Christian Counseling may only be released in instances when:: 1) as the client, I sign a written release of information document indicating informed consent to such release, 2) as the client, I expresses serious intent to harm myself or someone else, or 3) there is evidence or reasonable suspicion of my abusing a minor child, elderly person (sixty-five years or older), or dependent adult. My counselor and Life Training Christian Counseling will do everything possible to inform me of any mandated disclosures of information.

Initial here to indicate your understanding and agreement with above
Client Participation
I, as the client, agree to make a good-faith effort to grow in soul and spirit as facilitated by my counselor, and engage in the counseling process as an important priority at this time in my life. My gain is the most important objective in my seeking Christian counseling. I understand that suspension or termination of counseling, or referral to another provider, shall be discussed between me and the counselor in the event that: 1) I exhibit a pattern of behavior that reveals disinterest or lack of commitment to the counseling process, or 2) there is any unresolved conflict or impasse between me and the counselor.

SECTION 3: FINANCIAL AGREEMENT

Thank you for reading and completing each section as indicated
Regular Session Fees
I understand that the initial session with my counselor will serve as an informal interview - like a test drive - to allow both me and my counselor to decide if the relationship feels right. Although it is the desire of Life Training that every client choose to continue with additional sessions after this initial interview, there is certainly no obligation on the client's part to do so. I understand that the fee for each session - including the initial interview - will be the standard rate of $100 per session. (If client is under 18 years of age, parent or guardian should type their initials here) *
Initial here to indicate your understanding and agreement with above.
APS Temperament Profile
I understand that I will be asked to complete the Arno Profile System (APS) temperament profile. There is no cost to me for this assessment, but I understand it is still very important information that will allow my counselor to individualize my care. The APS is a 60-question multiple-choice questionnaire, and is an important diagnostic tool that will provide my counselor an analysis of my God-given, inborn characteristics. This will be used by my counselor as important baseline information for counseling. My counselor will discuss this in greater detail at one of my first few appointments. (If client is under 18 years of age, parent or guardian should type their initials here) *
Initial here to indicate your understanding and agreement with above
Cash-Pay Only
I understand that Life Training Ministries, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit ministry and not a provider of psychological or mental health care. Because Life Training is a faith-based not-for-profit organization, they are not able to bill my insurance carrier. I understand that, should I elect to submit a claim in hopes of receiving reimbursement from my own health insurance, this will be at my own discretion, and Life Training cannot be held responsible or liable for the outcome of that claim. (If client is under 18 years of age, parent or guardian should type their initials here) *
Initial here to indicate your understanding and agreement with above
Payment Methods
I understand that I am responsible to make full payment for each session at the time of each session. My client fees can be paid by cash, check, or credit/debit card at the time of the session. There will be a QuickBooks service fee of 3.15% added to all payments that I make by credit/debit card. I will be emailed a QuickBooks receipt after each payment is submitted. My account cannot be in arrears when I schedule additional counseling sessions. (If client is under 18 years of age, parent or guardian should type their initials here) *
Initial here to indicate your understanding and agreement with above
Late Cancellations and No-Shows
I agree to attend and be punctual for all scheduled appointment times. In the event that I no-show an appointment or cancel a scheduled appointment with less than 24-hours’ notice, my credit card information on file will be billed the full fee for that missed session.
