Client Rights and Important Information
a) You are entitled to receive information from me about my methods of therapy, the
techniques I use, the duration of your therapy (if I can determine it), and my fee
structure. Please ask if you would like to receive this information.
b) You can seek a second opinion from another therapist or terminate therapy at
any time, although a termination session is highly recommended.
c) In a professional relationship (such as ours), sexual intimacy between a therapist
and a client is never appropriate. If sexual intimacy occurs, it should be reported
to the Department of Regulatory Agencies, Mental Health Section listed above.
d) Generally speaking, the information provided by and to a client during therapy
sessions is legally confidential if the therapist is a licensed psychologist, licensed
social worker, licensed professional counselor, licensed marriage and family
therapist, licensed or certified addiction counselor, or an unlicensed
psychotherapist. If the information is legally confidential, the therapist cannot be
forced to disclose the information without the client's consent.
e) Information disclosed to a licensed psychologist, licensed social worker, licensed
professional counselor, licensed marriage and family therapist, licensed or
certified addiction counselor, or an unlicensed psychotherapist is privileged
communication and cannot be disclosed in any court of competent jurisdiction in
the State of Colorado without the consent of the person to whom the testimony
sought relates.
Exceptions to the Rule of Legal Confidentiality
There are exceptions to the general rule of legal confidentiality. These exceptions
are listed in the Colorado statutes (C.R.S. 12-43-218). You should be aware that
provisions concerning disclosure of confidential communications shall not apply
to any delinquency or criminal proceedings, except as provided in section 13-90-
107 C.R.S. The following are several common exceptions:
a) If your counselor has reasonable cause to suspect that a child (anyone
under the age of 18) has been abused or neglected.
b) If your counselor has reasonable cause to suspect that an elder has been
abused or neglected.
c) If you appear to be at serious risk for hurting yourself or another.
Fees and Cancellation Policy
The fee for services is $75 per session. Sessions are typically 1 – 1 ½ hours in
length.
Appointments must be cancelled 24 hours in advance otherwise the full fee may
be owed. The decision to charge is based on the discretion of Louis Carlino, MA,
LPC specifically as to whether other payable work could not be scheduled due to
that block of time being reserved, or based on the fact that Louis Carlino, MA,
LPC had spent time travelling to his office for the appointment only to get very
late notice of cancellation.
If you have any questions or would like additional information, please feel free to ask.
I have read the preceding information and understand my rights as a client.
