Client Information -At any time you may ask about the methods of therapy, techniques I use, duration of your therapy, if known, and my fee structure. You may always seek a second opinion from another therapist or terminate therapy at any time. If I feel that I am unable to assist you adequately, I reserve the right to suggest a referral option. In a professional relationship, sexual intimacy between a therapist and a client is never appropriate and should be immediately reported to the board that licenses, registers, or certifies the licensee, registrant or certificate holder. Confidentiality -Generally speaking, information provided by a client during therapy sessions is legally confidential and cannot be released without your consent. You should know, however, that there are exceptions to this confidentiality, some of which are listed in sections 12-43-218 of the Colorado Revised Statutes as well as other exceptions in Colorado and Federal law. For example, mental health professionals are required to report suspected child abuse to authorities. If a legal exception arises during therapy, if feasible, you will be informed accordingly.

If you need emergency assistance please call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room. Telephone Calls - I check my messages regularly, and I will make every effort to return calls as promptly as possible. I may not be able to do so on weekends, holidays, and personal vacations. Unless other arrangements have been made, I charge for conversations lasting longer than 10 minutes. Therapeutic Touch – I am a certified Yoga teacher, which means I have been trained specifically with therapeutic touch, and can utilize it when clinically recommended. This method is experientially based and utilizes mindfulness in conjunction with body awareness. When employing this method, the therapist may occasionally suggest a non-invasive form of touch as part of the work. This touch is not required, and would only be applied with permission by you, the client. If at any time the touch is not helpful in supporting your process, please let me know, as I will stop immediately.
