Documents

I will email you a counseling informed consent form to electronically sign via DocuSign. This informed consent form must be signed before your or your child's first counseling appointment. Please note that you legally need to be physically present in Texas during all of your counseling sessions, including during your telehealth and in-office counseling sessions. 

I also require clients to email me proof of their identity before I begin counseling them, in order to ensure that I am in legal compliance and to ensure the accuracy of my counseling documentation. Please email me proof of the client's identity, such as a driver's license, passport, school identification, or other legal documents to the following email address before your first counseling appointment: information@solutionfocusedcounselingtexas.com 

Also, please note that I am legally required to obtain, review, and follow custody agreements, divorce decrees, court orders, power of attorney, parental termination of rights, and other legal documents (if applicable) before I begin counseling your child or adult, who you have legal guardianship of. Please email these legal documents to the following email address before your child's or adult, who you have legal guardianship of's, first counseling appointment: information@solutionfocusedcounselingtexas.com 

I also can email you a counseling authorization to release information form to electronically sign via DocuSign, in order for me to coordinate care and consult with other professionals about your or your child's mental health treatment. Also, sometimes clients are concurrently (at the same time) receiving mental health treatment from more than one mental health counseling professional. Please note that you will need to sign an authorization to release information form, if you are currently receiving mental health treatment from more than one mental health counseling professional, per therapist's counseling board rules. This is beneficial to clients, as it allows both mental health counseling professionals to consul with each other and coordinate care, which can lead to improved therapy outcomes for clients.
