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. Their intention is to teach me how to live in God's best for my life and relationships. I understand that my counselor is a Licensed/Ordained Christian minister and is Certified/Licensed counselor by the National Christian Counselors Association. My counselor is not a therapist or mental health 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) *

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.

APS Temperament Profile
I understand that I will be asked to complete the Arno Profile System (APS) temperament profile at no cost to me. I understand this is very important information that will allow my counselor to individualize my care. The APS is an 18-question multiple-choice questionnaire, and is an important diagnostic tool that will provide my counselor an accurate profile of my God-given, inborn characteristics. This will be used by my counselor as baseline information for counseling. My counselor will discuss this in greater detail at one of my first few appointments. I also understand that any APS profiles completed after my initial counseling session (such as children, friends, coworkers, etc.) will be at the cost of $60 per person.

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 nonprofit 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 health insurance, this will be at my own discretion, and Life Training cannot be held responsible or liable for the outcome of that claim.
