Consent for Treatment

I authorize the clinician and clinical staff to provide assessment, psychotherapy, counseling, and other mental health services as clinically indicated. I understand treatment may include discussion of personal history, behavior change strategies, psychotherapeutic techniques, and, where applicable, coordination with other providers.

I understand the benefits may include reduced symptoms, improved functioning, and better coping strategies. Risks may include emotional discomfort, increased distress while addressing difficult issues, or changes in relationships. I understand that no specific outcome can be guaranteed.

I have the right to withdraw consent for treatment at any time, and I may ask questions about treatment approaches, expected duration, and alternatives prior to or during care.

Consent to Treatment: I consent to receive mental health treatment from the provider named above.

Confidentiality & Limits

Communications between client and clinician are private and confidential and will not be released without written authorization, except as required or permitted by law. Exceptions include: (1) suspected child or elder abuse or neglect; (2) imminent risk of harm to self or others (duty to warn/protect); (3) court order or legal proceedings; (4) when client signs a written release permitting disclosure; and (5) where reporting is required for billing or payment disputes.

I acknowledge that my insurance company or third-party payer may require diagnosis and progress information for claims processing. Billing records necessary for reimbursement may become part of the insurer's records and therefore may not be protected by clinician-client privilege.

Acknowledgment of Confidentiality Limits: I acknowledge that I have read and understand the limits to confidentiality described above.

Telehealth / Remote Sessions

Telehealth involves the provision of mental health services using interactive audio, video, or electronic communications. Telehealth may not be appropriate for all conditions. By consenting, I authorize the clinician to provide portions of care via telehealth when clinically appropriate.

Telehealth Consent: I consent to telehealth services and understand associated privacy and technical limitations.

I authorize the provider to release mental health information as specified below. This authorization is voluntary and may be revoked in writing at any time to the extent action has not already been taken in reliance on it.

Release Authorization: I authorize release of information as described above.

Privacy Practices & Acknowledgment

I acknowledge receipt of the provider's Notice of Privacy Practices, which describes how my health information may be used and disclosed and my rights with respect to that information.

Acknowledgment: I acknowledge that I have been offered or received the provider's privacy notice.

Cancellation & Emergency Procedures

Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice or missed sessions may be subject to a cancellation fee unless due to emergency or extenuating circumstances. In crisis situations where there is imminent risk of harm, do not rely on email or messaging; contact emergency services or local crisis resources immediately.
