USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.
THERAPIST DISCLOSURE STATEMENT & CLIENT INFORMED CONSENT
Welcome to Desire to Connect: Relational Therapy. This document contains important information about my professional services and business policies. It also contains summary information about the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), a federal law that provides privacy protections and patient rights regarding the use and disclosure of your Protected Health Information (PHI) for the purposes of treatment, payment, and health care operations.
Although these documents are long and sometimes complex, it is very important that you understand them. Additionally, by signing this document you hereby acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms herein. We can discuss any questions you have when you sign or at any point in the future.
Therapy is a relationship between people that works in part because of clearly defined rights and responsibilities held by each party. As a client in psychotherapy, you have certain rights and responsibilities. There are also legal limitations to those rights you should be aware of. As your therapist, I have responsibilities to you, as well. These rights and responsibilities are described in the following sections.
PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES
Psychotherapy has both benefits and risks. Risks may include experiencing uncomfortable feelings, such as sadness, guilt, anxiety, anger, frustration, loneliness, and helplessness. These are natural feelings that come up due to the process of psychotherapy often requiring discussing unpleasant aspects of your life. However, psychotherapy has been shown to have benefits for individuals who undertake it.
Therapy often leads to a significant reduction in feelings of distress, increased satisfaction in interpersonal relationships, greater personal awareness and insight, increased skills for managing stress, and resolutions to specific problems. But, there are no guarantees about what will happen, and each patient’s results may vary. Psychotherapy requires a very active effort on your part. To be most successful, you will have to work on things we discuss outside of sessions.
The first few sessions will involve a comprehensive evaluation of your needs; this is called an intake. By the end of the evaluation, I will be able to offer some initial impressions of what our work might include, and at that point, we will discuss your treatment goals. We will evaluate this information and assess whether we are a good fit to move forward with counseling. If we are not a good fit to meet your goals, I may provide a referral that may be better suited for your needs and goals.
APPOINTMENTS
Appointments will last 53–55 minutes, once per week at a time we agree on, although some sessions may be frequent as needed. The time scheduled for your appointment is assigned solely to you. If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, I ask that you provide 48 hours' notice.
I often travel for various reasons such as continuing education, self-care, and visiting loved ones. I do my best not to be gone for more than two sessions (two weeks); however, this may not always be possible.
If you choose to move your appointment to biweekly frequency, then you do so with the knowledge that if you cancel your appointment, I will try to find another time to reschedule the appointment. However, rescheduling may not be possible, leading to you not receiving services at the agreed-upon frequency. By signing this agreement, you acknowledge you understand the limitations of scheduling.
CANCELLATION POLICY
I ask that you provide 48 hours' notice by email or phone at hello@desiretoconnect.com or 918.200.9620. If you miss a session without canceling (a no-show) or cancel with less than 48 hours’ notice (a late cancel), my policy is to collect the full session fee of $150 (unless I determine you were unable to attend due to circumstances beyond your control). All clients receive one free cancelation or no show without prior notice and will not be responsible for the cancelation fee. However, after the use or occurrence of the one free cancellation or no show, you shall be responsible for paying the full session fee.
Cancellation fees are a non-insurance covered charge for services, meaning that the responsibility of covering the charge of cancellation falls on you, the client (or parent/guardian). We will guarantee a 15-minute grace period during your scheduled session start time to account for any miscommunications and to allow time to arrive for session. After 15 minutes, you will be subject to the cancellation fee. The standard meeting time for psychotherapy is 53–55 minutes. If you find yourself wanting shorter sessions, please discuss with the clinician, and do not arrive late to shorten your session. We as therapists often return urgent phone calls or open availability for a cancellation waitlist during your time. Arriving after 15 minutes does not guarantee you a shortened session time. If you miss a service due to an emergency, please contact me as soon as possible.. Cancellation fees are non-refundable, as is my time.
PROFESSIONAL FEES
The standard fee for the initial intake is $200 and each subsequent session is $150. You are responsible for paying at the time of your session unless prior arrangements are made. If you refuse to pay your debt, I reserve the right to use an attorney or collection agency to secure payment. Services will be suspended if you fail to pay for your session. In addition to weekly appointments, it is my practice to charge this amount on a prorated basis (I will break down the hourly cost) for other professional services that you may require such as report writing, telephone conversations that last longer than 15 minutes, attendance at meetings or consultations which you have requested, or the time required to perform any other service which you may request.
INSURANCE
To set realistic treatment goals and priorities, it is important to evaluate your resources available to pay for your treatment. If you have a health insurance policy, it may provide some coverage for mental health treatment. With your permission, my billing service and I will assist you to the extent possible in filing claims and ascertaining information about your coverage, but you are responsible for knowing your coverage and for letting me know if/when your coverage changes.
Due to the rising costs of healthcare, insurance benefits have increasingly become more complex. It is sometimes difficult to determine exactly how much mental health coverage is available. Managed Health Care plans such as HMOs and PPOs often require advance authorization, without which they may refuse to provide reimbursement for mental health services. These plans are often limited to short-term treatment approaches designed to work out specific problems that interfere with a person’s usual level of functioning. It may be necessary to seek approval for more therapy after a certain number of sessions. While a lot can be accomplished in short-term therapy, some patients feel that they need more services after insurance benefits end. Some managed-care plans will not allow me to provide services to you once your benefits end. If this is the case, I will do my best to find another provider who will help you continue your psychotherapy.
You should also be aware that most insurance companies require your authorization to provide a clinical diagnosis. (Diagnoses are technical terms that describe the nature of your problems and whether they are short-term or long-term problems. All diagnoses come from a book entitled the DSM-IV. There is a copy in my office, and I will be glad to let you see it to learn more about your diagnosis, if applicable). Sometimes I must provide additional clinical information such as treatment plans or summaries or copies of the entire record (in rare cases). This information will become part of the insurance company files and will probably be stored in a computer. Though all insurance companies claim to keep such information confidential, I have no control over what they do with it once it is in their hands. In some cases, they may share the information with a national medical information databank. I will provide you with a copy of any report I submit if you request it. By signing this Agreement, you agree that I can provide the requested information to your carrier if you plan to pay with insurance.
If you plan to use your insurance, authorization from the insurance company may be required before they cover therapy fees. If you did not obtain authorization and it is required, you may be responsible for full payment of the fee. Many policies leave a percentage of the fee (co-insurance) or a flat dollar amount (co-payment) to be covered by the patient. Either amount is to be paid at the time of the visit by cash, check, or credit card. Some insurance companies may also have a deductible, which is an out-of-pocket amount and must be paid by the patient before the insurance companies are willing to begin paying any amount for services. This will typically mean that you will be responsible for paying for initial sessions with me until your deductible has been met; the deductible amount may also need to be met at the start of each calendar year.
Once we have all of the information about your insurance coverage, we will discuss what we can reasonably expect to accomplish with the benefits available and what will happen if coverage ends. It is important to remember that you always have the right to pay for my services yourself to avoid the problems described above, unless prohibited by my provider contract.
If I am not a participating provider for your insurance plan, I will supply you with a receipt of payment for services, which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Please note that not all insurance companies reimburse for out-of-network providers. If you prefer to use a participating provider, I will refer you to a colleague.
PROFESSIONAL RECORDS
I am required to keep appropriate records of the psychological services that I provide. Your records are maintained in a secure location in the office. I keep brief records noting that you were here, your reasons for seeking therapy, the goals and progress we set for treatment, your diagnosis, topics we discussed, your medical, social, and treatment history, records I receive from other providers, copies of records I send to others, and your billing records. Please note, I may take notes, which reflect my impressions about you, contain details of your session(s) considered to be inappropriate for your medical records, and are used by me for future sessions. These notes will be stored separately from your medical record and do not constitute progress notes. Except as provided under 43A O.S. § 1-109(B), you have the right to a copy of your medical records upon your request. However, to obtain my psychotherapy notes you will have to obtain a court order or separate consent before I consider release of these notes. You also have the right to request that a copy of your file be made available to other healthcare providers.
CONFIDENTIALITY
When I provide counseling services for you, all information is kept confidential and will not be released without your prior consent. There are, however, special circumstances under which confidential information could be revealed. These situations include, but may not be limited to the following:
CONTACTING ME
The best way to contact me is via email lmarshall@desiretoconnect.com or by phone: 918.200.9620. I am often not immediately available by telephone. I do not answer my phone when I am with clients or otherwise unavailable. At these times, you may leave a message on my confidential voicemail and your call will be returned as soon as possible. It may take a day or two for non-urgent matters. If, for unseen reasons, you do not hear from me or I am unable to reach you, and you feel you cannot wait for a return call or feel unable to keep yourself safe, please go to your local hospital Emergency Room or call 911 and ask to speak to the mental health worker on call. I will make every attempt to inform you in advance of planned absences and provide you with the name and phone number of the mental health professional covering my practice.
OTHER RIGHTS
If you are unhappy with your therapy services, I hope you will talk with me so that I can respond to your concerns. Such comments will be taken seriously and handled with care and respect. You may also request that I refer you to another therapist and are free to end therapy at any time. You have the right to considerate, safe, and respectful care, without discrimination as to race, ethnicity, color, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, national origin, or source of payment. You have the right to ask questions about any aspects of therapy and my specific training and experience.

- If clinical information indicates the possibility that a child or elderly person has been or is the victim of a crime (e.g., child abuse, elderly abuse) as determined by the therapist.
