Effects of Counseling
If you have questions or concerns related to your participation in counseling, please tell me. The counseling experience, the changes it brings, and its effects are different for everyone. Some of these changes may trouble you and all of them are, to an extent, unpredictable. Without your participation in and out of our sessions, you will not gain the full benefits of counseling. If you help me to help you, I will choose to do my best to help you achieve your goals.
Client Rights
If you feel that therapy is not helpful, or is harmful to you, you have the right to terminate our relationship. You have the right to refuse suggestions I make that you believe will harm you. I will interact with you in a way consistent with the ethical and professional standards of the American Counseling Association and the American Psychological Association. If you are not satisfied with the quality of my services, please indicate this to me. If I am unable to resolve your concern, you may contact my supervisor, Dr. Alisa Hilewsky, (248) 543-0033, or the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Enforcement Division, Allegations Section P.O. Box 30670 Lansing, MI 48909. (517) 373-8068.
Referrals
If you or I believe that a referral is needed, I will make suggest programs and/or providers applicable to your situation. You maintain responsibility for contacting, pursuing, and evaluating those individuals and programs.
Fees
My fees are included on my fee schedule. If you are not yet my client, please contact me to find out more. Fees are expected at the time of service. I accept many major insurance plans.
Records and Confidentiality
All of our communication becomes part of your record, which is the property of TMS. (If you previously saw me at another facility, the records are the property of that facility.) Adult client records are destroyed seven years after the file is closed. Minor client records are destroyed seven years after the client’s 18th birthday. Our interactions will be confidential except in the following instances:
(1) your records are used for supervision, consultation, professional development, or research. In such cases, I will protect your identity with a pseudonym;
(2) I believe you are a danger to yourself or someone else;
(3) I become aware of abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a child or vulnerable adult;
(4) I become aware of sexual contact with a health professional;
(5) I am ordered by a court to disclose information;
(6) You request that I release your records (including for insurance purposes);
(7) I am otherwise legally required to disclose your information.
If I see you in public, I will not acknowledge you unless you approach me first. I will not interact with you on social media.
I work with individuals over age five.
