Ending Therapy. Ending therapy may occur at any time and be indicated by either the client or the therapist. If you are unhappy with therapy, please share your concerns and perhaps changes can be made to make therapy more helpful to you. Generally, therapy ends when you have accomplished the goals you established at the beginning of therapy. If you stop attending sessions, I generally do not call out of respect for your choice. Do not interpret not receiving a call as me not caring about you. If you decide at a later date that you are ready to become involved in therapy again, please feel free to call and ask to resume therapy. I understand that sometimes it is just not the right time to devote the energy necessary for successful therapy.

Billing codes for my services include: 90791, 90837, 90834, and 90847. Please ask your insurance representative if these codes are covered by your plan and whether you will be paying a copay or towards a deductible.
Ending Therapy. In most instances clients and therapists agree on when to end therapy (ideally when both agree that the goals of therapy have been reached). As a client, you always have the right to end therapy, if you believe it is not helping you. However, we would encourage you to discuss your concerns with your therapist rather than just ending therapy. It is also important for you to understand that your therapist has the right to end your therapy if your therapist determines that you are not deriving any benefit from therapy, are using therapy inappropriately (e.g., to meet a court requirement, avoid termination from work, or the like), or have behaved in ways that your therapist believes prevent therapy from benefiting you (repeatedly miss or cancel appointments, fail to pay your portion of the cost of therapy services, attend sessions when intoxicated, or do not follow therapist recommendations). In these instances your therapist will discuss his/her concerns with you, and if these concerns cannot be resolved, your therapist will end your therapy and direct you to appropriate alternative services. Once you have ended therapy at the Centers for Family Change it is important that you recognize that the Centers for Family Change no longer assumes any responsibility for you, and your needs for therapy services. We can only be responsible for those individuals who are in active treatment with a Centers for Family Change therapist.
Ending Therapy. Ideally, therapy ends when there is mutual agreement between you and your therapist. Yet, ending therapy ultimately is your choice and you may end therapy at any time. When therapy has met your goals or if you would like to take a break, it is helpful to communicate these kinds of things to your therapist. If you choose not to return and do not schedule further appointments, your therapist will officially discharge your file. Your case will be discharged if you do not make an appointment for 4 consecutive weeks unless you communicate with your therapist. This will end your professional relationship with your therapist. You are welcome to return if you have future needs. Your therapist will be happy to reopen your file. I understand that my case will be closed if I make no appointments for 4 consecutive weeks and the lapse is not due to an agreement with my therapist. My professional relationship with my therapist will end until I choose to reschedule. Initial
Ending Therapy. Ending therapy is a mutual decision based on your needs and progress. Ideally, it involves a discussion and a planned final session. However, you have the right to end therapy at any time. Social Media To protect your privacy and maintain the therapeutic relationship, I do not engage with clients through social media platforms. Please refrain from making contact with me via social media. Privacy Policy Your privacy is important to me. Apart from the above-mentioned recordkeeping, I will not share any personal information about you without your explicit consent, unless required by law.
Ending Therapy. The process of ending therapy can be a significant part of healing. If you intend to end therapy for yourself or your child, please discuss this with me in advance so that an appropriate closure process can be planned. Counseling services are available only during scheduled office hours. In the event of a crisis, please call 911 for immediate care. I have read the above information. By signing below I am stating that I understand and agree to the contents of this agreement. Client Date
Ending Therapy. You have the right to terminate or take a break from therapy at any time, without my permission or agreement. However, if you decide to exercise this option, I encourage you to talk with me about the reason for your decision, so that we can bring sufficient closure to our work together. Closure involves discussing your progress and exploring ways you can continue to utilize the skills and knowledge you have gained in therapy. When needed, we will discuss any appropriate referrals. Licensed Professional Counselors are ethically required to continue therapeutic relationships only as long as it is reasonably clear that the client is benefiting from the relationship. Therefore, I agree to have ongoing discussions with you about your progress and to work expediently toward resolution of your problem. However, if at some point I believe that you need additional treatment or that I can no longer help you with your problem, I will discuss this with you and make an appropriate referral. A therapist may cancel or terminate services for noncompliance with the plan of care, failure to keep or cancel appointments, violent behavior, a threat of violence, or involvement in criminal behavior. In the event you are dissatisfied with my services for any reason, please let me know. If I am not able to resolve your concerns, you may report your complaints to the State of MS Licensed Professional Board of Examiners.

Ending Therapy. Termination of therapy is just as important to the therapeutic process as is the beginning. It is a good idea to plan for your termination in collaboration with your therapist. Your therapist will discuss a plan for termination with you as you approach the completion of your treatment goals. Upon either party’s decision to terminate therapy, your therapist will generally recommend that the client participate in at least one, or possibly more, termination sessions. These sessions are intended to facilitate a smooth transition and a positive termination experience, giving both parties an opportunity to reflect on the work that has been done.

Ending Therapy. 9.1 A plan for therapy should be in place which considers the length of the therapy agreement and when this might be brought to a planned ending. This can be subject to ongoing review.
Ending Therapy. Some clients benefit most from a brief involvement in therapy whereas others will find an extended length of time more valuable. I am committed to working with you as long as the therapeutic process is productive and healthy. The process of ending therapy may be equally as significant as the work you accomplish during the course of your therapy. The ending of therapy is most impactful when it evolves from a partnership between client and therapist. I am available at any time during the therapy process to discuss concerns you may have regarding the ending of your therapy. It is most productive if you can address the ending of your therapy over the course of several closure sessions.
