Consent for Treatment and Limits of Liability

Limits of Services and Assumptions of Risks:

Therapy sessions carry both benefits and risks. Therapy sessions can significantly reduce the amount of distress someone is feeling, improve relationships, and/or resolve other specific issues. However, these improvements and any “cures” cannot be guaranteed for any condition due to the many variables that affect these therapy sessions. Experiencing uncomfortable feelings, discussing unpleasant situations and/or aspects of your life are considered risks of therapy sessions.

Limits of Confidentiality:

What you discuss during your therapy session is kept confidential. No contents of the therapy sessions, whether verbal or written may be shared with another party without your written consent or the written consent of your legal guardian. The following is a list of exceptions:

  • Duty to Warn and Protect - If you disclose a plan or threat to harm yourself, the therapist must attempt to notify your family and notify legal authorities. In addition, if you disclose a plan to threat or harm another person, the therapist is required to warn the possible victim and notify legal authorities.
  • Duty to Warn and Protect - If you disclose a plan or threat to harm yourself, the therapist must attempt to notify your family and notify legal authorities. In addition, if you disclose a plan to threat or harm another person, the therapist is required to warn the possible victim and notify legal authorities.
  • Prenatal Exposure to Controlled Substances - Therapists must report any admitted prenatal exposure to controlled substances that could be harmful to the mother or the child.
  • Minors/Guardianship - Parents or legal guardians of non-emancipated minor clients have the right to access the clients’ records.
  • Insurance Providers - Insurance companies and other third-party payers are given information that they request regarding services to the clients.

The type of information that may be requested includes: types of service, dates/times of service, diagnosis, treatment plan, description of impairment, progress of therapy, case notes, summaries, etc.

Cancellation Policy

No Show Policy

If you are unable to attend an appointment, we request that you provide at least 24 hours advanced notice to our office. Since we are unable to use this time for another client, please note that you will be billed for HALF THE AMOUNT of the entire cost of your scheduled appointment. Unless such cancellation is due to illness or an emergency.

No Show Fee - $60.00

  • A "no show" is someone who misses an appointment without cancelling it within a 24-hour working day in advance. No-shows inconvenience those individuals who need access to psychological care in a timely manner.

Scheduled Appointments

We understand that delays can happen, however, we must try to keep the other clients on time, If you are running late, please notify us.

If you arrive 15 or more minutes past the scheduled appointment time without notifying your clinician that you are running late, we may have to reschedule your appointment.

For cancellations made with less than 24 hour notice (unless due to illness or an emergency) or a scheduled appointment that is completely missed, you will be mailed a bill directly for HALF THE COST of the session fee.

How to cancel your appointments

To cancel an appointment, please call our office at (540)-341-1703 or (571)-364-3095. You may also cancel via email, which can be found on our website. After two consecutive no-shows to your appointment without notification, our practice may decide to terminate its relationship with you.
