- It is my intention to provide services
that will assist you in reaching your goals. Based upon the information that you provide to me and the specifics of your situation,
I will provide recommendations to you regarding your treatment. I believe that therapists and clients are partners in the
therapeutic process. You have the right to agree or disagree with my recommendations. I will also periodically provide feedback
to you regarding your progress and will invite your participation in the discussion. Due to the varying
nature and severity of problems and the individuality of each client, I am unable to predict the length of your therapy or
to guarantee a specific outcome or result.
- The
length of your treatment and the timing of the eventual termination of your treatment depend on the specifics of your treatment
plan and the progress you achieve. It is a good idea to plan for your termination, in collaboration with me. I will discuss
a plan for termination with you as you approach the completion of your treatment goals. You may discontinue
therapy at any time. If you or I determine that you are not benefiting from treatment, either of us may elect to initiate
a discussion of your treatment alternatives. Treatment alternatives may include, among other possibilities, referral, changing
your treatment plan, or terminating your therapy.
