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. 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.
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.

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. 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. You may end therapy at any time. A final session is strongly recommended for closure of our work together. If at any point during treatment I feel that I am not effective in helping you reach your therapeutic goals or if I believe that you could benefit from a treatment I cannot provide, I will discuss this with you and give you the names of other qualified professionals who may be better able to help you at that time.
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.
9.2 Eventualities where therapy might be inappropriate and brought to an end need to be outlined.
9.3 Arrangements for ending therapy also should be clearly detailed.
9.4 In the event of sudden incapacity, professional executors will take responsibility for the clients and in such case identity would be disclosed, but Executors are bound by the same professional rules of confidentiality.

Ending Therapy. Although you may end therapy at any time, it is preferred that you have at least one face-to-face concluding appointment with your therapist rather than terminating by telephone, mail, or by not showing up. At the time of discharge, you may be given or sent a Client Satisfaction Form that is used to elicit feedback on the therapy process. This is a valuable tool to increase our awareness of the strengths and weaknesses of our services.
Ending Therapy. As therapy is a professional therapeutic relationship it will end at some point.
