Philosophy of care provided:
We are committed to the highest standards of care for the entire person: Mind, Emotions, Spirit and, through referral and other means, Body. We affirm the dignity, value and responsibility of every human being.
We affirm the wholeness and healing that is available to all who are willing to abandon their dysfunctional patterns and follow a different path.
We recognize that we are only one part of the care that is needed and the signing of this document constitutes formal release to consult and receive information from supervisory, psychological, medical or spiritual caregivers.
We deny that judgment and legalism have any effectiveness in the pursuit of a fully human life and affirm that the grace of God can both cover and free any person from any brokenness the human heart may experience or engage in.
Further info:
Please note that any psychological counseling is subject to the above agreement and all applicable laws. This following agreement is discussed and signed prior to the commencement of counseling and it is your responsibility to inform the counselor if clarification is needed on any of the above points.
Remote video counselling services also require the completion of our Standard Consent form, Virtual Therapy Consent Form and Credit Card Authorization form. To provide the highest standard of privacy currently avaliable, we exclusively promote the use of Wire for our Virtual Therapy sessions.
Please note that our office requires at least 48 hours notification of any cancelation or scheduling change. In the event that a session is missed without proper notice, we may be forced to charge for the missed session. This is not intended to be punitive in nature but, rather, is intended to ensure that those who require our services are able to access them.
