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. The Mental Health Practice act (CRS 12-43-101 et seq.) is available at

Professional Fees- Fee for services is ___ per 50-minute session due in full at the end of
each session. Sessions of varying lengths (60-75-90 minutes) are available depending upon
your goals and are charged a pro-rated hourly rate of ___. I am not associated with any
insurance company and do not accept insurance reimbursement directly. As such, I am
considered an out-of-network provider. I encourage you to consult directly with your
insurance company regarding your benefits. Since my time has been scheduled specifically
for you, cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance will be charged to your

Emergencies -As a therapist in outpatient private practice, I do not provide 24 hour
emergency services. 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.
By your signature below, you are indicating that you have read and understood the preceding
