Improving Services. There have been efforts to improve regulation and mon- itoring in the sector. One issue that the State Agency for Geology and Mineral Resources has addressed is the process of granting licences. The advisor to the head of the State Agency Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx highlighted that the agency now conducts auctions in such a way as to cre- ate a competitive environment and attract more inves- tors. The State Agency is also conducting auctions in the villages near to the deposit sites. Thus, they are including the local population in the process and raising residents’ awareness of the auctions. The State Agency has also announced a plan for 2014. The plan includes measures to simplify the process for applying for rights of access to subsoil minerals, trans- parent procedures in the awarding of licences, creating conditions that would allow for new medium and large deposits to be developed, and increasing the income from the mining sector to KGS 30 million (around USD 579,000) (Moiseeva 2014). These developments are a positive move, as experts have noted that many people do not trust the government to implement and enforce the laws. Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx of GIZ argued that the State Agency should be seen as a neutral body, and should be engaged in explain- ing issues to communities near deposit sites. Likewise, it should be able to address people’s concerns about envi- ronmental pollution and provide factual information. He argued that if the State Agency is more engaged at the community level, it could help to minimize conflicts with mining companies. The support required for the State Agency also raises concerns about financial costs that could be used for other sectors. Xxxxxxxxx stressed that government spending on basic social services, such as hospitals and schools, should not be considered the same as spending on the State Agency. There is a difference in the rate of returns. Mining has a bigger financial return over a short period of time, whereas the financial and social returns from hospitals and schools are long term and so less evi- dent. »If you help the State Agency, [the country’s abil- ity to collect] taxes will increase and you will get more money. Today the agency is anorexic; they can’t work,« said Xxxxxxxxx.

  • Counseling Services Your first appointment (or more, in some cases) will involve an assessment of your needs. By the end of the assessment your counselor will be able to offer you some first impressions of what your work may include and recommendations for getting help. One of the recommendations may be psychotherapy. If so, ABO may or may not be able to provide you with psychotherapy, depending on your overall needs. If psychotherapy or any other recommendations suggested by your counselor include things that ABO cannot provide, you will be given suggestions of where you might receive those services. Wherever you choose to obtain treatment, you should evaluate the information from your initial assessment along with your own opinions of what sort of treatment you are willing to do and whether you feel comfortable working with the treating clinician. Therapy involves a large commitment of time, energy, and often money, so you should be very careful about the counselor you select. If you have questions about the procedures used or conclusions made by your counselor at ABO, please discuss them whenever they arise. If your doubts persist, your counselor will be happy to help you set up a meeting with another mental health professional for a second opinion. Psychotherapy is not easily described in general statements. It varies depending on the particular problems you are experiencing, the therapeutic methods used by your counselor, and the personalities of the counselor and client. There are many different methods counselors may use to deal with the problems that you hope to address. Psychotherapy is not like a medical doctor visit. Instead, it calls for a very active effort on your part. In order for the therapy to be most successful, you will have to work on things that are discussed both during your sessions and on your own. Psychotherapy can have benefits and risks. Since therapy often involves discussing unpleasant aspects of your life, you may experience uncomfortable feelings like sadness, guilt, anger, shame, frustration, loneliness, and helplessness. The changes you make in therapy may also affect your relationships in unexpected ways. Psychotherapy has also been shown to have many benefits. Therapy often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and significant reductions in feelings of distress. But there are no guarantees of what you will experience. The initial assessment will last from one to four sessions. During this time, you and your counselor can both decide if she/he is the best person to provide the services you need in order to meet your treatment goals. If you choose to begin psychotherapy, your counselor will usually schedule one meeting at a time you each agree on. Once an appointment is scheduled, you will be expected to attend unless you provide advance notice of cancellation. If you need to cancel an appointment, it is your responsibility to contact us to cancel. Fees will be collected when services are rendered.*In addition to therapy services fees may include assessment administration, scoring, and reporting; creating reports; creating copies of records on request; and consulting with other professionals at the client’s request. There will be an additional $25 fee assessed for any returned check. We understand that there are unforeseeable circumstances like sick children or bad weather. Your appointment is important though, and your therapist is happy to contact you for a phone session or a session via our HIPPA-compliant virtual therapy system so you don't need to leave your sick child or worry about traffic and weather. As long as you are in a confidential location, we can help you keep your regularly scheduled appointment. If you still must change or cancel your counseling appointment, please know: • Cancellations must be made during business hours. • Cancellations must be made within 48 hours of session time if using our online scheduling program. • We cannot accommodate cancellations made via email as we do not monitor email on a regular basis. • We may not accommodate cancellations made after hours or on holidays to our main number as we cannot check voice mail regularly. If you have an appointment on a Monday or the first day following a holiday, you must make your change or cancellation the last business day before your appointment. • Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice will result in a fee equal to the total amount of the missed session that will be collected at your next appointment, or, if payment information is on file, it will be debited from your credit card. • *After two no-shows/late cancellations, you will pre-pay a retainer before scheduling any future appointments. • Clients who have pre-paid agree to have the entire fee deducted from their pre-payment in cases of other no-shows and late changes/cancellations. • Court testimony costs begin at $250 per hour with a minimum charge of three hours. A retainer of $1000 is due one week prior to the court date. Travel is billed at .55/mile.

If proper notice is given, the retainer will be refunded. • Additional services related to court preparation including all correspondence with attorneys or other service providers via phone, email, or letter, documentation review and/or documentation preparation are also billed at $250 per hour, rounded to the nearest 15 minute increment.

You may have your counselor’s cell phone number in order to coordinate administrative tasks (defined as appointment arrival, appointment time, and directions).

This includes emergency texts and emails. • If your therapist leaves for an extended period of time you will be given the information for another licensed therapist with whom you may schedule if you need an appointment during your therapist’s absence.
