Common use of Termination of Therapy Clause in Contracts

Termination of Therapy. Therapist reserves the right to terminate therapy at her discretion, for reasons including but not limited to untimely fee payment, noncom- pliance with treatment recommendations, conflict of interest, failure to participate in therapy, or Patient needs being outside Therapist’s scope of practice or compe- tence. Patient also has the right to terminate therapy at his/her discretion. Upon either party’s decision to terminate, Therapist will usually recommend Patient par- ticipate in at least one termination session to facilitate a positive termination experi- ence and allow both parties to reflect on the work that has been done. Therapist will also attempt to ensure a smooth transition to another therapist by offering referrals to Patient.
