IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND CLIENT CONSENT

CLIENT THERAPIST RELATIONSHIP: You and your therapist have a professional relationship existing exclusively for therapeutic treatment. This relationship functions most effectively when it remains strictly professional and involves only the therapeutic aspect. Your therapist can best serve your needs by focusing solely on therapy and avoiding any type of social or business relationship.

RISKS AND BENEFITS: Counseling and art therapy activities related to self-initiating plans are beneficial, but as with any treatment, there are inherent risks. Art therapy activities will help manage psychological concerns. During the activity, you will face questions and situations about personal issues which may bring to the surface uncomfortable emotions such as anger, guilt, confusion, and sadness. The benefits of this can far outweigh any discomfort encountered during the process. Some of the possible benefits are improved personal relationships, reduced feelings of emotional distress, enhanced self-esteem, gaining insight into the problem, and specific problem-solving. We cannot guarantee these benefits, of course. It is our desire, however, to work with you to attain your personal goals for counseling and/or art therapy.

COUNSELING: It is a confidential process designed to help you address your concerns, come to a greater understanding of yourself, and learn effective personal and interpersonal coping strategies. It involves a relationship between you and a trained therapist who has the desire and willingness to help you accomplish your individual goals. Your therapist is available to support you throughout the counseling process. Your first session will be an assessment session in which you and your therapist will determine your concerns, and if both agree that we can meet your therapeutic needs, a plan of treatment will be developed. You can choose not to follow the plan of treatment designed by your therapist, so services can be terminated. The goal of this therapeutic guide is to provide the most effective therapeutic experience available to you. If at any time you feel that you and your current therapist are not a good fit, please discuss this matter with your therapist to determine if transferring to a more suitable therapist is right for you. Wellness is more than the absence of disease; it is a state of optimal well-being. It goes beyond the curing of illness to achieving health. Through the ongoing integration of our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual selves, each person has the opportunity to create and preserve a whole and happy life. The services are designed to provide our clients with an integrated solution for their mind, body, spirit, and life to enhance their lives and resolve issues.

YOUR RIGHTS: All individuals who are seeking and/or receiving services will be provided with effective, efficient services. These services will be directed toward health and rehabilitation. As an individual receiving services, you have the following rights:

To be treated with consideration and respect for human dignity

To receive quality treatment regardless of race, religion, sex, age, sexuality, ethnic background, and mental and/or physically disabling condition.

Schedule an appointment with your counselor to review your record and receive any needed explanation about the contents.

If there is evidence of the clear and imminent danger of harm to self and/or others, a therapist is legally required to report this information to the authorities responsible for ensuring safety.
