Client Information
Communication:
Keeping your PHI (Personal Health Information) confidential is of the upmost importance. With this in mind, please note that text and emails are not secure means of communication and so please limit the information you provide when corresponding in this manner.
Cancellation Policy:
Please email to cancel or reschedule 48 hours prior to your scheduled appointment. I understand that unplanned events can happen but please note that cancellations that are given in less than 24 hours of our appointment will incur a late cancellation fee which is my full/regular rate.
Other Information:
During the initial consultation or at any point in our work together, I (or we) may determine that a different provider may be a better fit for you. At this point, I will provide alternative resources and referrals as needed.
To maintain a safe and secure environment, I reserve the right to: decline services to a client who is intoxicated, expect non-exploitative, non-threatening interactions and adherence to boundaries of a professional relationship.
Social Media:
To adhere to boundaries that protect clients and therapists, I do not "friend" clients on any social media platform that is for my personal account.
Social media platforms that are related to the business "Golden Path Journey" (www.goldenpathjourney.com) are not secure platforms and no personal information should be shared on those accounts or "pages". Additionally, social media accounts (ie. Facebook, Instagram) for Golden Path Journey are checked infrequently, are intended for sharing general wellness information and are not a means of communicating with me for issues or concerns related to therapy.

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
Cancellation Policy:
Please call to cancel or reschedule 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment. I understand that unplanned events can happen but the full fee will be charged for cancellations that are given with less than 24 business hours notice.
Insurance:
I am not taking insurance.
For those looking to use Out Of Network benefits, as an LCSW I’m able to provide you a SuperBill for you to submit to your insurance company so you can be reimbursed by them, if those benefits apply in your plan. A SuperBill is a receipt that has information insurance companies need (like a diagnosis and treatment code) to be able to reimburse you for your care. Many insurance plans offer this benefit, please be sure to check with your plan for more information.
I do take HSA and FSA.
