Psychotherapy is not easily described in general statements. It varies depending on the personalities of the social worker or mental health counselor and the client, and the particular problems you are experiencing. There are many different methods I may use to deal with the problems that you hope to address. Psychotherapy is not like a medical doctor visit. Instead, it calls for a very active effort on your part. In order for the therapy to be successful, you will have to work on things we talk about both during our sessions and at home. Psychotherapy can have benefits and risks. Since therapy often involves experiencing unpleasant or problematic aspects of your life, you may experience uncomfortable feelings like sadness, guilt, anger, frustration, loneliness, and helplessness. On the other hand, psychotherapy also has been shown to have many benefits. Therapy often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and significant reductions in feelings of distress, however, there are no guarantees of what you will experience and what you will accomplish. Our first few sessions will involve asking a lot of questions to learn more about you and your needs. As time goes on we will be able to offer our impressions of what might be helpful in your situation and what our work might include if you decide to continue with therapy. You should evaluate this information along with your own opinions of whether you feel comfortable working with your therapist. Therapy involves a commitment of time and energy, as well as a financial commitment, so you should be very careful about the therapist you select. If you have questions about our approach, we should discuss them whenever they arise. If your doubts persist, we will be happy to help you identify another mental health professional who can offer a second opinion or with whom you may feel more comfortable continuing with psychotherapy.
The laws and standards of our profession require that we keep treatment records. You should be aware that, pursuant to HIPAA, we keep Protected Health Information (PHI) in your Clinical Record. This record includes your diagnosis, treatment and progress, peers, emails and text
messages, any past records that we receive from other providers, reports of professional consultations, your billing records, and any reports that have been sent to anyone, including reports to your insurance carrier. This record also includes psychotherapy notes we have made regarding our conversations. Because these are professional records, they can be misinterpreted and/or upsetting to untrained readers. HIPAA does not provide clients with the right of access to separately maintained psychotherapy notes. If you wish to see your records, we recommend that you let us know and we can determine the extent to which we can discuss the contents. You may examine and/or receive a copy of your Clinical Record if you request it in writing unless we believe that the access requested is reasonably likely to endanger the life or physical safety of you or another person or if the information is contained in separately maintained psychotherapy notes. In those situations, you may have a right to a summary and to have your record sent to another mental health provider or your attorney. If we refuse your request for access to your records, you have a right of review, which we will discuss with you upon your request. This is described fully in the attached Notice of Privacy Practices.
HIPPA provides you with several new or expanded rights with regard to your Clinical Record and disclosures of protected information. These rights include requesting that we amend your record; requesting restrictions on what information from your Clinical Record is disclosed to others; requesting an accounting of most disclosure or protected health information that you have neither consented to nor authorized; determining the location to which protected information disclosures are sent; having any complaints you make about our policies recorded in your records; and the right to a paper copy of this Practice Policies. We are happy to discuss any of these rights with you.
Our hourly fee for professional services is $140. If we meet more than the usual time, we will charge accordingly. We charge this same hourly rate for other professional services you may need, though we will prorate the hourly cost if we work for periods of less than one hour. Other professional services include report writing, telephone conversations lasting longer than 10 minutes, attendance at meetings with other professionals you have authorized, preparation of treatment summaries, and the time spent performing any other service you may request of us. If you become involved in legal proceedings that require our participation, you will be expected to pay for any professional time we spend on your legal matter, even if the request comes from another party. We charge $140 for professional services related to such legal proceedings. If you choose to use your health insurance to pay for psychotherapy, we will bill your insurance carrier directly for the services provided. It is your responsibility to ensure active coverage at the time of each session and to be aware of any co-payment or deducible. You will be responsible for paying us the co-pay fee at the time of our session. You also will be responsible
for paying us the full amount allowed by your insurance company if you have not met your deductible. You will also be responsible for the balance incurred if your insurance lapses, you have not informed us, and we have not made an alternative payment agreement. You should read the section in your insurance coverage booklet that describes mental health services and make sure that any questions you have are answered either by us or by your insurance company. It is often the case that an insurance company will authorize only a limited number of sessions initially. If therapy continues beyond this point, it is usually possible for us to seek approval from the insurance company for additional sessions, however, it is important for us to discuss your options in the event that reimbursement is no longer available. These options include keeping our goals within a short-term therapy framework, considering the possibility of self-payment for sessions once benefits are exhausted, and placing therapy on hold until a new benefit year begins. Should your coverage expire and you attend a session, you will be responsible to pay for that session and will be billed according to the insurance reimbursement rate. Any services provided beyond the limits of the annual insurance coverage are the responsibility of the client.
You will be expected to pay for each session at the time it is held, unless we agree otherwise or unless you have insurance coverage that requires another arrangement. If your account has not been paid for more than 30 days and arrangements for payment have not been agreed upon, we have the option of charging the card on file for the outstanding balance and if we are unable to charge the card, we have the option of using legal means to secure the payment. This may involve hiring a collection agency or going through small claims court. If such legal action is necessary, its costs will be included in the claim. In most collection situations, the only information we will release regarding a client’s treatment is his/her name, the dates, times, and nature of services provided, and the amount due.
In order for us to set realistic treatment goals and priorities, it is important to evaluate what resources you have available to pay for your treatment. If you have a health insurance policy, it will usually provide some coverage for mental health treatment. We will fill out forms and
provide you with whatever assistance we can in helping you receive the benefits to which you are entitled; however, you (not your insurance company) are responsible for full payment of our fees. It is very important that you find out exactly what mental health services your insurance policy covers. You should carefully read the section in your insurance coverage booklet that describes mental health services. If you have questions about the coverage, call your plan administrator. Of course, we will provide you with whatever information we can based on our experience and will be happy to help you in understanding the information you receive from your insurance company. If necessary, we are willing to call the insurance company on your behalf to obtain clarification. Due to the rising costs of health care, insurance benefits have increasingly become more complex. It is sometimes difficult to determine exactly how much mental health coverage is available. “Managed Health Care” plans often require authorization before they provide reimbursement for mental health services. These plans are often limited to short-term treatment approaches designed to work out specific problems that interfere with a person’s usual level of functioning. It may be necessary to seek approval for more therapy after a certain number of sessions. Though a lot can be accomplished in short-term therapy, some clients feel that they need more services after insurance benefits end. Some managed-care plans will not allow me to provide services to you once your benefits end. If this is the case, we will try to assist you in finding another provider who will help you continue your psychotherapy. You should also be aware that your contract with your health insurance company requires that we provide it with information relevant to the services that we provide to you. We are required to provide your clinical diagnosis. Sometimes we have to provide additional clinical information, such as treatment plans, progress notes or summaries, or copies of the entire record (in rare cases). This information will become part of the insurance company files and will probably be stored in a computer. Though all insurance companies claim to keep such information confidential, we have no control over what they do with it once it is in their hands. In some cases, they may share the information with a national medical information databank. We will provide you with a copy of any records we submit, if you request it. You understand that, by using your insurance, you authorize us to release such information to your insurance company. We will try to keep that information limited to the minimum necessary. Once we have all of the information about your insurance coverage, we will discuss what we can expect to accomplish with the benefits that are available and what will happen if they run out before you feel ready to end our sessions. It is important to remember that you always have the right to pay for my services yourself to avoid the problems described above, unless prohibited by the insurance contract.
Due to my work schedule, we are often not immediately available by telephone and do not answer calls when we are in session. When I am unavailable during work hours, my telephone is answered either by an administrative assistant or by voicemail that I monitor frequently. We will make every effort to return your call within 24 hours with the exception of weekends and holidays. If you are difficult to reach, please inform us of some times when you will be available. In the event that you experience a psychiatric emergency, in which you need immediate professional consultation, you may call 911 or report to your local hospital emergency room. The closest hospitals are St. Anne’s Hospital 795 Middle Street and Charlton Memorial Hospital 363 Highland Avenue. The closest crisis center is Bay Cove 49 Hillside Street. If I will be unavailable for an extended time, I will provide you with the name of a colleague to contact, if necessary.
In order to maintain clarity regarding our use of electronic modes of communication during your treatment, we have developed the following policy. The use of various types of electronic communications is common in our society and many individuals believe this is the preferred method of communication with others, whether their relationships are social or professional. Many of these common modes of communication, however, put your privacy at risk and can be inconsistent with the law and with the standards of my profession. Consequently, this policy has been prepared to assure the security and confidentiality of your treatment and to assure that it is consistent with ethics and the law. If you have any questions about this policy, please feel free to discuss this with us.
We use email communication and text messaging only with your permission and only for administrative purposes unless we have made another agreement. That means that email exchanges and text messages with our office should be limited to things like seeing and changing appointments, billing matters and other related issues. Please do not email or text us about clinical matters because emails and texts are not completely secure or confidential ways to contact us. If you need to discuss a clinical matter with us, please feel free to call us so we can discuss it on the telephone or wait so we can discuss it during your therapy session. The telephone or face-to-face context simply is much more secure and clinically effective as a mode of communication. If you choose to communicate with us by email or text, be aware that all emails are retained in the logs of your and our internet service or cellular telephone providers. While it is unlikely that someone will be looking at these logs, they are, in theory, available to be read by the system administrator(s) of the internet service or cellular telephone provider. You should also know that any emails or texts we receive from you and any responses that we send to you may become a part of your legal record.
We do not accept friend or contact requests or otherwise communicate with or contact any of our current or former clients on any social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn. We participate on various social networks, but not in our professional capacities. If you have an online presence, there is a possibility that you may encounter us by accident. If that occurs, please discuss it with us during our time together. We believe that any communications with clients online have a high potential to compromise the professional relationship. In addition, please do not try to contact us in this way. We will not respond and will terminate any online contact or relationship we discover, no matter how accidental. We believe that adding clients as friends or contacts on these sites can compromise your confidentiality and our respective privacy and can create significant security risks for you. These sites are not secure and we may not read these messages in a timely fashion. Do not use wall postings, @replies, or other means of engaging with us in public online if we have an already established client/therapist relationship. Engaging with us this way could compromise your confidentiality. It may also create the possibility that these exchanges become a part of your legal medical record and will need to be documented and archived in your chart. It may also blur the boundaries of our therapeutic relationship. If you have questions about this, please bring them up when we meet and we can talk more about it.
We have a website that you are free to access. We use it for professional reasons to provide information to others about us and our practice. You are welcome to access and review the information that we have on our website and, if you have questions about it, we should discuss this during your therapy sessions.
We will not use web searches to gather information about you without your permission because we believe that this violates your privacy rights. Extremely rare exceptions may be made during times of crisis. If we have a reason to suspect that you are in danger and you have not been in touch with us via our usual means (coming to appointments, phone, or email) there might be an instance in which using a search engine (to find you, find someone close to you, or to check on your recent status updates) becomes necessary as part of ensuring your welfare. These are unusual situations and if we ever resort to such means, we will fully document it and discuss it with you when we next meet. However, we understand that you might choose to gather information about us in this way. In this day and age there is an incredible amount of information available about individuals on the internet, much of which may actually be known to that person and some of which may be inaccurate or unknown. If you encounter any information about us through web searches, or in any other fashion for that matter, please discuss this with us during our time together so that we can deal with it and its potential impact on your treatment. Recently it has become fashionable for clients to review their health care provider on various
websites. Unfortunately, mental health professionals cannot respond to such comments and related errors because of confidentiality restrictions, whether it is positive or negative. Many ofthese sites comb search engines for business listings and automatically add listings regardless of whether the business has added itself to the site. If you should find our listing on any of these sites, please know that our listing is NOT a request for a testimonial, rating, or endorsement from you as our client. If you encounter such reviews of us or any professional with whom you are working, please share it with us so we can discuss it and its potential impact on your therapy. Please do not rate our work with you while we are in treatment together on any of these websites. This is because it has a significant potential to damage our ability to work together. We urge you to take your own privacy as seriously as we take our commitment of confidentiality to you. You should also be aware that if you are using these sites to communicate indirectly with us about your feelings about our work, there is a good possibility that we may never see it. If we are working together, we hope that you will bring your feelings and reactions to our work directly into the therapy process. This can be an important part of therapy, even if you decide we are not a good fit. None of this is meant to keep you from sharing that you are in therapy with us wherever and with whomever you like. Confidentiality means that we cannot tell people that you are our client and our Code of Ethics prohibits us from requesting testimonials but you are more than welcome to tell anyone you wish that we are your therapist or how you feel about the treatment we provided to you, in any forum of your choosing.
If you used location-based services on your mobile phone, you may wish to be aware of the privacy issues related to using these services. We do not place our practice as a check-in location, however, if you have GPS tracking enabled on your device, it is possible that others may surmise that you are a therapy client due to regular check-ins at our office on a regular basis. Please be aware of this risk if you are intentionally “checking in,” from our office or if you have a passive LBS app enabled on your phone.
Our practice involves face to face therapy, which we believe is the most clinically effective and most secure and confidential manner in which to conduct therapy. However, since the Covid-19 pandemic, we also have conducted therapy by a HIPAA compliant video-conferencing platform, and, at times by telephone. While we take reasonable precautions to maintain confidentiality, as with all forms of electronic communication, there are risks that such communications can be intercepted and your precision in such communications indicates that you assume the risks
related to using such communications.
Massachusetts law regarding confidentiality relating to minors and parents is complicated and cannot be fully summarized in this document. Clients under 18 years of age who are not emancipated, and whose parents are not separated, divorced or in the process of divorcing, and their parents, should be aware that the law generally allows parents to discuss their child’s treatment and to examine their child’s treatment records, unless the child objects or we believe this disclosure would be harmful to the client and his/her treatment. However, HIPAA does not provide children or parents with the right of access to separately maintained psychotherapy notes. Because privacy in psychotherapy is often crucial to successful progress, particularly with teenagers, it is sometimes our policy to request an agreement from parents that they consent
to give up their rights to disclosures of their child’s treatment and access to their child’s treatment records. If they disagree, or if the child objects to disclosure, we will provide them only with general information about the progress of the child’s treatment, and his/her attendance at scheduled sessions. The treatment summary provides information about the nature and extent of any services provided to the child, but does not include the substance content of any communications made to the therapist during or related to the therapist’s services that would otherwise reflect the thoughts, feelings or impressions of the child obtained or revealed during those services. Any other communication will require the child’s authorization, unless limited exceptions apply, such as if we believe that the child is in danger or is a danger to someone else, in which case, we will notify the parents of our concern. Before giving parents any information, we will discuss the matter with the child, if possible, and do our best to handle any objections he/she may have.
A minor client or prospective client may give consent to disclosure of client communications, information or records pertaining to him or her if:
a. He or she is married, widowed or divorced;
b. He or she is the parent of a child, in which case he or she may also give consent to disclosure
of client communicaFons, informaFon or records on behalf of that child;
c. He or she is a member of any of the armed forces of the United States;
d. He or she is living separate and apart from his or her parent(s) or legal guardian, and is managing his or her own financial affairs;
e. He or she reasonably believes that he or she is suffering from, or has come into contact with, a disease defined as dangerous to the public health pursuant to M.G.L. c. 111, § 6 and the communications, information or records to be disclosed pertain to the diagnosis or treatment of
that disease; or
f. He or she has been determined to be a “mature minor” by a court of competent jurisdiction.
In such an event, disclosure of such client communications, information or records shall not be made without the written consent of that minor client.
g. We determine that the best interests of the minor will be served by not notifying his or her parents or legal guardian of the performance of the proposed services, and the therapist reasonably believes that the minor fully understands the nature of the proposed services and the risks and benefits of those services.
The child client whose parents are separated, divorced or in the process of divorce has his or her own confidentiality rights and evidentiary privilege, as do all child clients to some extent, with respect to his or her relationship with the therapist. The therapist cannot divulge the substance of what the child client has discussed, either orally or by release of written records, just because a parent asks for this information. This information may only be released with a court order or with the signed, informed consent of a mature minor. Confidential information provided by the child in therapy, including a copy of the child’s record, cannot be released to either parent or to the court, even with a signed release from one or both parents. Only the court can waive the child’s privilege and/or make a determination as to the release of confidential therapy records, and Probate courts can and do appoint special guardians ad litem to decide this question for a child.
In order to authorize mental health treatment for your child, you must have either sole or joint legal custody of your child and be authorized to grant permission for medical treatment. If you are separated or divorced from the other parent of your child, please notify us immediately. We will ask you to provide us with a copy of the most recent custody decree that establishes custody rights of you and the other parent or otherwise demonstrates that you have the right to authorize treatment for your child. If you are separated or divorced from the child’s other parent, please be aware that it is our policy to notify the other parent that we are meeting with your child. We believe it is important that all parents have the right to know, unless there are truly exceptional circumstances, that their child is receiving mental health evaluation or treatment. If there is joint custody, we generally require the signature of both parents. One risk of child therapy involves disagreement among parents and/or disagreement between parents and the therapist regarding the child’s treatment. If such disagreements occur, we will strive to listen carefully so that we can understand your perspectives and fully explain our perspective. We can resolve such disagreements or we can agree to disagree, so long as this enables your child’s therapeutic progress. Ultimately, parents decide whether therapy will continue. If either parent decides that therapy should end, we will honor that decision, unless there are extraordinary circumstances, however, in most cases, we will ask that you allow us the option of having a few closing sessions with your child to appropriately end the treatment
relationship.
In the course of our treatment of your child, we may meet with the child’s parents/guardians,
either separately or together. Please be aware, however, that, at all times, our client is your
child – not the parents/guardians nor any siblings or other family members of the child. You are
what is referred to as a collateral participant. Because you are not our client, you do not have
the same legal rights of privacy and confidentiality as a client. If we meet with you or other
family members in the course of your child’s treatment, we will make notes of that meeting in
your child’s treatment records. HIPAA does not provide children or parents with the right of
access to separately maintained psychotherapy notes that we prepare. Please be aware that
those notes may be available to any person or entity that has legal access to your child’s
treatment record.
In some situations, we are required by law or by the guidelines of our profession to disclose
information, whether or not we have your or your child’s permission. We have listed some of
these situations below.
Confidentiality cannot be maintained when:
• Child clients tell us they plan to cause serious harm or death to themselves, and we
believe they have the intent and ability to carry out this threat in the very near
future. We must take steps to inform a parent or guardian or others of what the child
has told us and how serious we believe this threat to be and to try to prevent the
occurrence of such harm.
• Child clients tell us they plan to cause serious harm or death to someone else, and we
believe they have the intent and ability to carry out this threat in the very near future. In
this situation, we must inform a parent or guardian or others, and we may be required to
inform the person who is the target of the threatened harm and law enforcement.
• Child clients are doing things that could cause serious harm to them or someone else, even
if they do not intend to harm themselves or another person. In these situations, we will
need to use our professional judgment to decide whether a parent or guardian should be
informed.
• Child clients tell us, or we otherwise learn that, it appears that a child is being neglected
or abused—physically, sexually or emotionally—or that it appears that they have been
neglected or abused in the past. In this situation, we are required by law to report the
alleged abuse to the appropriate state child-protective agency.
• We are ordered by a court to disclose information.
Therapy is most effective when a trusting relationship exists between the social worker and the
client. Privacy is especially important in earning and keeping that trust. As a result, it is
important for children to have a “zone of privacy” where children feel free to discuss personal
matters without fear that their thoughts and feelings will be immediately communicated to
their parents. This is particularly true for adolescents who are naturally developing a greater
sense of independence and autonomy.
It is our policy to provide you with general information about your child’s treatment, but NOT to
share specific information your child has disclosed to us without your child’s agreement. This
includes activities and behavior that you would not approve of — or might be upset by — but
that do not put your child at risk of serious and immediate harm. However, if your child’s risk taking behavior becomes more serious, then we will need to use our professional judgment to decide whether your child is in serious and immediate danger of harm. If we feel that your child
is in such danger, we will communicate this information to you.
Example: If your child tells us that he/she has tried alcohol at a few parties, we would keep this
information confidential. If your child tells us that he/she is drinking and driving or is a passenger in a car with a driver who is drunk, we would not keep this information confidential from you. If your child tells us, or if we believe based on things we learn about your child, that your child is
addicted to drugs or alcohol, we would not keep that information confidential.
Example: If your child tells us that he/she is having voluntary, protected sex with a peer, we would keep this information confidential. If your child tells us that, on several occasions, the child has engaged in unprotected sex with strangers or in unsafe situations, we will not keep this information confidential.
You can always ask us questions about the types of information we would disclose. You can ask
in the form of “hypothetical situations,” such as: “If a child told you that he or she were doing
____, would you tell the parents?”
Even when we have agreed to keep your child’s treatment information confidential from you,
we may believe that it is important for you to know about a particular situation that is going on in your child’s life. In these situations, we will encourage your child to tell you, and we will help your child find the best way to do so. Also, when meeting with you, we may sometimes describe
your child’s problems in general terms, without using specifics, in order to help you know how to be more helpful to your child.
By signing this agreement, you are agreeing that your child or teen should have a “zone of privacy” in their meetings with us, to waive any rights you may have to discuss our treatment of your child and you agree not to ask us to orally disclose information about our treatment of
your child.
Although the laws of Massachusetts may give parents the right to see written records we keep
about your child’s treatment, HIPAA does not provide parents with the right of access to
separately maintained psychotherapy notes. By signing this agreement, you are agreeing that
your child or teen should have a “zone of privacy” in their meetings with us, to waive any rights
you may have to access our treatment records and you agree not to request access to your
child’s written treatment records.
When a family is in conflict, particularly conflict due to parental separation or divorce, it is very
difficult for everyone, particularly for children. Although our responsibility to your child may
require our helping to address conflicts between the child’s parents, our role will be strictly
limited to providing treatment to your child. You agree that in any child custody/visitation
proceedings, neither of you will seek to subpoena our records or ask us to testify in court,
whether in person or by affidavit, or to provide letters or documentation expressing our opinion about parental fitness or custody/visitation arrangements.
Please note that your agreement may not prevent a judge from requiring our testimony, even
though we will not do so unless legally compelled. If we are required to testify, we are ethically
bound not to give my opinion about either parent’s custody, visitation suitability, or fitness. If
the court appoints a custody evaluator, guardian ad litem, or parenting coordinator, we will
provide information as needed, if appropriate releases are signed or a court order is provided,
but we will not make any recommendation about the final decisions, relating to either parent’s
custody, visitation suitability, or fitness. Furthermore, if we are required to appear as a witness
or to otherwise perform work related to any legal matter, the party responsible for our
participation agrees to reimburse us at the rate of $120 per hour for time spent
traveling, speaking with attorneys, reviewing and preparing documents, testifying, being in
attendance, and any other case-related costs.
Court proceedings
It is understood that the purpose of marital/couples therapy is for the amelioraFon of distress
within a relaFonship. Therefore, if both partners request our services, they are expected not to
use information given to us during the therapy process against the other party in a judicial
setting of any kind, including civil or criminal. Likewise, neither party shall for any reason
attempt to subpoena my testimony or our records to be presented in a deposition or court
hearing of any kind for any reason, such as a divorce case.
There are times when the best treatment approach is for a client to be seen with his or her
partner, with the relationship itself being the focus of treatment. When that occurs, both
partners must provide their consent to release marital/couples counseling records. If one
partner does not provide consent, we will not voluntarily release the records, subject to
exceptions to confidentiality addressed elsewhere in this Practice Policies document.
When it is determined that therapy will be most helpful if a client is seen for treatment with his
or her partner, the couple is considered to be one unit. This means that our allegiance is to the
couple “unit” and not to either partner as individuals. We find this is particularly important in
creating a space where both partners can feel safe. Therefore, we adhere to a strict “No
Secrets” policy. This means that we will not hold secrets for either partner. This policy is
intended to allow us to continue to treat the couple or family by preventing, to the extent
possible, a conflict of interest from arising where an individual’s interests may not be consistent
with the interests of the unit being treated. On occasion during the counseling process, individual partners may be seen for an individual counseling session. In this case, the individual session is still considered as part of the couple’s
counseling relationship. Information disclosed during individual sessions may be relevant or
even essential to the proper treatment of the couple or the family. If an individual chooses to
share such information with us, we will offer the individual every opportunity to disclose the
relevant information and will provide guidance in this process. If the individual refuses to
disclose this information within the couple’s session, we may determine that it is necessary to
discontinue the counseling relationship with the couple. If there is information that an
individual desires to address within a context of individual confidentiality, we will be happy to
provide referrals to therapists who can provide concurrent individual therapy. This policy is
intended to maintain the integrity of the couples/marital counseling relationship.
Ending relationships can be difficult, therefore, it is important to have a termination process in
order to achieve some closure. The appropriate length of the termination depends on the
course of treatment. We may terminate treatment after appropriate discussion with you if we
determine that the psychotherapy is not being effectively used or if you are in default on
payment. If therapy is terminated for any reason or you request another therapist, we will refer
you to another therapist in the practice or provide you with a list of qualified therapists to treat
you. You may also identify someone on your own or from another referral source. We
appreciate you taking the time to read this Practice Policies document and look forward to
discussing any questions or concerns you may have. If you decide to continue in psychotherapy
with us, we hope that we will have a satisfying and productive working relationship.
