INFORMED CONSENT
The purpose of this document is to introduce myself to you as a prospective client, to
describe the counseling process, to involve you in structuring your counseling
experience, and to cover some of the logistical arrangements regarding counseling.
Your Counselor: I hold an Ed.D. in Counselor Education from the University of Virginia,
and an Ed.S. in Counseling Psychology from James Madison University. I am licensed as
a Professional Counselor (License No. 071001316) and as a Substance Abuse Treatment
Practitioner (License No. 0718000144) in Virginia. Please feel free to call me by my first
name, if you are comfortable with that. I have worked in inpatient, outpatient, and
residential substance abuse treatment settings for over 25 years. My clinical work has
focused largely on substance abuse treatment and recovery, including work with
adolescents, families, athletes, and people with co-occurring substance use and mental
health disorders. My theoretical orientation for counseling and supervision is an
integration of cognitive-behavioral, reality therapy, and person-centered approaches. As
your counselor, I will attempt to use my skills and training to help you with identified
issues, facilitate your personal growth, and be of assistance to you in whatever way that
we identify together that might be helpful and appropriate. Counseling may or may not be
of assistance to you as a client and should be undertaken with that knowledge. If you
believe your sessions are not helpful, please inform me so that we may discuss that. If
you believe I have behaved unprofessionally, I also ask that you discuss that with me, but
you may also report such to the Virginia Board of Counseling, through which I am
licensed to practice via its web site: www.dhp.virginia.gov/counseling.
Logistics: All sessions are by appointment and will be held on a scheduled basis.
Individual sessions will generally last for 30, 45, or 60 minutes, and groups for 75
minutes, at my office at 404 8th St., N.E., Charlottesville, VA. Please arrive promptly as
sessions will begin on time. Parking is free and available in the lot adjacent to the
building, as well as on the street. In the event that you are unable to attend a session
please contact me ahead of time. You may leave a message on my confidential voice mail
or send an e-mail message ([email protected]) if you are unable to reach me
personally. Should you need to contact me between sessions, you may reach me at either
of the numbers above or via e-mail. Please note that email is not always a secure mode of
communication, so you may wish to limit what you include in email messages. I will not
transmit protected health information (PHI) by email, but it can be helpful for
appointment setting and confirmations. Social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) are not
appropriate means for communication between us, so please do not utilize those for
communication with me.

Emergency: My practice is a sole, part-time practice, and I am not equipped to handle

emergencies. If you have a personal, medical, or mental health emergency you are
advised to seek help at the nearest hospital emergency room or by calling 9-1-1. By
signing this, you agree to inform me if you are having any thoughts of harming yourself,
and/or to seek immediate emergency assistance if that occurs.
Financial Obligation: I accept cash, checks, and major credit cards, and payment is to be
made at the beginning of each session. See the accompanying rate sheet for current rates,
which are subject to change. The hourly fee also applies to report preparation and court
testimony (including travel time). There is a $30 charge for a returned check regardless of
reason, and the full session rate is charged for missed appointments when notice is not
given one business day in advance (24 hours). Clients are also responsible for all
collection costs, should an account be referred to a collection agency.
Confidentiality: I will maintain, respect, and protect your privacy and confidentiality as
set forth by relevant laws, regulations and codes of ethical and professional conduct. I
will not reveal anything about your identity or your counseling without your permission
except when I am compelled to do so to protect your safety or that of another person(s),
in cases of mandated reporting of child/elder abuse, by subpoena or court order, or for
other limited reasons specified by law. If I would happen to see you around town or in
any social setting, I will not acknowledge knowing you unless you initiate such
recognition or acknowledgement. Finally, I serve as the designated Privacy Officer for
the practice. If you would like me to be able to speak to another person or entity on your
behalf, please inform me and I will provide you with a consent form to complete and
sign. I ask that you do not disclose to anyone the identities of any other clients whom you
might see here, whether in a group counseling setting or in passing. Please know that I do
not control the release of any information you may choose to share with other group
members.
Statement of Agreement: I have read and understand the information in this document,
have had the opportunity to ask questions, and agree to comply with it.

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION STATEMENT
Although the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) likely does
not apply to my practice as I do not engage in electronic transmission of records or
protected health information (PHI), I do strive to maintain the highest level of security
and confidentiality to protect client privacy.
One provision of the HIPAA 2013 Omnibus Rule affirms client autonomy and allows
clients to receive unencrypted email communication if they opt in to this means of
communication. Clients do need to understand that not all email communication can be
guaranteed to be 100% secure and that there is the possibility that email could be read by
a third party.
I have found email to be a good way to communicate with clients while not revealing any
clinical details or protected health information, such as for scheduling appointments. If
you are comfortable with this and agree to it, please opt in below. Likewise, please opt
in or opt out for text messaging, which will be used only in the same manner. As always,
in case of emergency, please call me (434-974-0997), call 911, or go to your nearest
hospital emergency room.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
___ Yes, I opt in to receiving electronic mail (note my email address:
[email protected])
___ No, I opt out and do not give permission for email communication.
____ Yes, I opt in to receiving text messages.
____ No, I opt out and do not give permission for communication via text messaging.
