I understand that therapy may not have guaranteed outcomes, but it can offer significant benefits, such as personal growth, improved relationships, and coping strategies.

    If there is a risk of harm to myself or others.
    If child abuse, elder abuse, or dependent adult abuse is suspected.
    If mandated by a court of law or other legal proceedings.
    In cases where disclosure is required by law.

I know that payment is expected within 7 days of the therapist's request for funds, following insurance payment. I am also responsible for verifying my insurance benefits and ensuring that sessions are covered, if applicable.

    6. Risks and Benefits:

    Therapy may involve discussing emotionally challenging topics, which can result in temporary discomfort, but it can also lead to significant personal growth, improved emotional well-being, and healthier relationships. I understand that therapy is a collaborative process, and I am encouraged to actively participate to achieve the best possible outcomes.

    7. Telehealth Services:

    If I engage in telehealth services, I understand that these sessions are conducted through secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms. I agree to take responsibility for ensuring that I have a private and secure space for participating in telehealth sessions to maintain confidentiality.

    I understand that my therapist is committed to providing culturally competent care that respects my unique identity, including my gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, spirituality, and other cultural factors.
