Confidentiality
All communications between client and counselor are confidential. We may consult other professionals from time to time for supervisory purposes. These professionals are also bound by confidentially. We are required by law to report suspected child abuse, elder abuse, homicidal threats and suicidal threats.
**Please be advised that we will not testify in court regarding you or your case.**
Fees
Our counseling fee per hour is $60.00. At this time, we only accept CASH OR CHECKS. We do not accept insurance plans/payments.
Cancellation of Appointment
A charge of one-half of the regular fee will be made for the loss of income if your cancellation is not received at least 8 hour prior to your appointment. Exceptions are sudden illness or an emergency. Please cancel by phone via text or a call not email or the website.
Telephone Calls
Should you need to contact your counselor, please leave a voice mail detailing you immediate need for counseling. Calls over 20 minutes will result in a counseling fee of $60.00. Crisis or emergency calls will be returned first based upon the need of the clients. Feel free to call again if your call isn’t returned within 24 hours.
Referrals
We do not specialize in therapy for children or addicts. We reserve the professional courtesy to decline services to individuals on case by case bases. This denial is for the well being of the client and is typically someone whom we do not feel we can properly help.
Dual Counseling
It is unethical and counterproductive to seek the services from two different counselors at the same time. If we discover that you are already seeing another counselor we will ask you to choose.
Distractions
In order for counseling to be effective, we need your undivided attention. Please do not bring babies or children with you to your appointment. We also ask that you refrain from answering calls or texting during your session
