MATT MISURACA, MA, LMFT OFFICE POLICIES
PAYMENT
Payment is due at the end of each session unless other arrangements are made. Please notify me if any problem arises during the course of your therapy regarding your ability to make timely payment. My charge is $_180.00_per individual or family session. Sessions are 50 minutes leaving time for charting. Groups are 2 hours and the fee for group is $75 per group.
CONFIDENTIALITY
All information disclosed within sessions, including that of minors, is confidential and may not be revealed to anyone without written permission except where disclosure is permitted or required by law. Disclosure may be required in the following circumstances:
- When there is a reasonable suspicion of abuse to a child, dependent or elder adult
- When the client communicates a serious threat of bodily injury to others
- When the therapist has a reasonable belief that the client may be a danger to themselves, others or property of others
- When disclosure is otherwise required by law
I may receive regular professional consultation. In such cases, neither your name nor any identifying information about you is revealed.
CANCELLED/ MISSED APPOINTMENTS
A scheduled appointment means that time is reserved only for you. If an appointment is missed or cancelled with less than twenty-four (24) hours' notice, you will be billed according to the scheduled fee.
ADDRESS CHANGES
Please advise me if you change your address, or change of telephone number.
EMERGENCY TREATMENT
I usually return calls within 24 hours. If this is a life-threatening emergency, please call 911. When I am out of town or otherwise unavailable, Upon Request, a qualified professional will cover for me by checking my calls. You may also call Telacare Emergency Crisis line 760-863-8632.
TERMINATION: You may discontinue therapy at any time. It is important to have a termination process in order to achieve some closure. If you, or I determine, you are no longer benefiting fitting from treatment, either of us may elect to initiate the discussion of your treatment alternatives i.e.: referral, change of treatment plan, or termination of therapy.
