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,
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 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 $125 per session. Sessions are typically 1
hour 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 because 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.
