Couples Counseling Sample Clauses

Couples Counseling. Couples therapy can be very rewarding, but you may also experience emotional discomfort from engaging in this process. Please do not hesitate to bring up your concerns with me. It is not uncommon for me to meet with each partner individually for a session or two in the course of doing couples work. We will determine when and if this is necessary while working together, and only if both partners agree to individual meetings. I am often asked about confidentiality in relation to meeting with one partner or the other individually. My policy is that I don’t hold secrets, but will work with you to bring difficult information into the couples work. I am respectful of the difficulties or challenges of this and do not hold to any given time frame for that information to be shared, but will make that determination together based on the situation. In the case of divorce, or a situation where one partner may want to access counseling records, the written consent of both partners is required.

Due to the relational nature of therapy work with couples, there are additional limits to your confidentiality. It is my policy that both individuals comprising the “client” couple must provide written consent for authorization of records pertaining to their Couples Counseling, at the beginning of treatment. The clinical rationale for this requirement is because, again, I am treating the relationship as the client rather than any one individual thus both individuals are consenting to treatment with this understanding that all information disclosed is shared information and will be kept as part of their “client” record. In the event that either individual within the couple requests records or if a third party requests records, the entire file will be disclosed since both names are on the file.

You should be aware that information revealed in individual sessions that is part of a couples counseling, when ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ it relevant to couples counseling, cannot be seen as a secret that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will keep from the couple.
