Twin Oaks Counseling
Informed Consent

At Twin Oaks Counseling Services we believe conseling is a proces whereby a counselee seeks to resolve personal, interpersonal, and / or spiritual difficulties with the assistance of another caring individual.  Your counselor will bring to the sessions his or her professional knowledge and experience, but the ultimate responsibility for growth and change rests with the client.

You are invited at any time to ask questions about your counselor, his or her methods, the direction the counseling is headed, and the estimated duration of counseling.

As a client of Twin Oaks Counseling Services, it is your right to have the content of your therapy sessions held in confidence with these exceptions in which we are mandated to report:
1.)  If client signs a release form for us to divulge any or all information.
2.)  If client intends suicide.
3.)  If client intends to harm another person or persons.
4.)  In the case of child, elder , or handicapped abuse or neglect.
5.)  In response to a subpoena issued by a court of law.

If you need to change or cancel an apointment, please notify us at least 24 hours prior to your appointment.  Failure to do so will result in you being charged for the full amount for the session.  If the client is a minor, please coplete the Consent For Treatment Of A Minor form.
