Client rights and important information:
• Generally speaking, the information provided by and to you as the client during the therapy sessions is
legally confidential. Since the information is legally confidential, I cannot be forced to disclose any of
your information without your consent. Information disclosed to me 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.
• 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. Confidentiality may also be waived in the event of physical
abuse and/or neglect of a child, including any past or present sexual contact with a minor. All
therapists are required by law to report such instances to the Denver Dept of Social Services.
Additionally, in the event of imminent danger to yourself or another person, I am required by
law, to protect you, which may result in you being hospitalized, and I have a duty to warn
anyone who may be in imminent danger as a result of your threats or frame of mind.

registrant or certificate holder.

Fee Information:
My standard fee is $140 for a 50-minute session. I request payment by check or cash at the time service is
rendered. If checks are returned due to insufficient funds, a $25 fee will be charged to you. As a general
policy, I request that clients pay me directly. Meetings with auxiliary medical or legal consultants either
by phone or in person and report writing will be billed at my standard fee. If payment is in arrears more
than 90 days and a fee payment schedule cannot be agreed upon, your account will be turned over to a
collection agency, an attorney, or small claims court.

If you are unable to keep an appointment, please notify me as soon as possible. If you cancel or miss an
appointment without giving me 24 hours notice, you will be billed full fee for the session.

your call as soon as possible. Telephone calls for the purpose of scheduling are expected and are not
billed. I do not charge for brief conversations but any discussion that goes beyond 10 minutes or more
than three 10 minute discussions per week will be billed to you on a prorated basis. I am generally
