Common use of Therapy Clause in Contracts

Therapy. I am a licensed psychologist specializing in treating individuals and couples coping with infertility, cancer, grief, anxiety, and depression. Therapy is not easily described in general statements. It varies depending on the personalities of the therapist and patient and the particular problems you are experiencing. There are many different methods that may be used to deal with the problems you hope to address in therapy. Approaches to treatment may include individual, family, and/or group therapy. Therapy 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 need to work on things both during your therapy sessions and outside of therapy (e.g. at work school and/or home). The initial focus of therapy is on understanding the thoughts, feelings and life situations that are of concern to you. Therapy has many potential benefits. It often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, improved self-awareness and significant reductions in feelings of distress. Therapy also has risks. Since therapy often involves discussing unpleasant aspects of your life, you may experience uncomfortable feelings such as sadness, guilt, anger, frustration, anxiety and helplessness. It is important to recognize that these feelings may be natural and normal and are an important part of the therapy process. Other risks of therapy include recalling unpleasant events, facing unpleasant thoughts and beliefs and a change in your desire to maintain certain relationships. It can also become a place where major life decisions are made including decisions involving separation within families, development of other types of relationships, changing employment settings and changing lifestyles. Although I expect therapy to be helpful, there is no guarantee that therapy will accomplish your desired goals. Goals for therapy are determined within the first few sessions and are periodically reviewed and refined. Termination occurs when we both mutually agree that the goals have been satisfactorily addressed or there is some other reason to terminate. You have the right to terminate therapy at any time, but I encourage you to discuss your concerns with me for at least one session before termination. You have the right to seek a second opinion from another mental health professional and a referral to other professionals, if requested or indicated, can be made at any time. Psychologists are often asked by other health care and mental health professionals to administer a battery of psychological tests to assess your intellectual, academic and/or, emotional functioning. It is also sometimes beneficial to administer psychological tests in the early stages of therapy to further clarify issues that may need to be the focus of treatment. The decision to administer psychological tests will be discussed with you in advance and the discussion will include the nature of the tests to be utilized, the rationale for testing, and how the results might be used. You are entitled to a full discussion of the results of any psychological tests administered.
