Confidentiality I will treat with great care all information you share with me. It is your right that our sessions and my records about you be kept private. In all but a few rare situations, your confidential it is protected by state law, the rules of my profession, and my personal integrity. Texas and Tennessee state law requires me to inform you that in certain cases your confidentiality is not protected, and your information may be disclosed to the appropriate authorities/agencies. These cases are:

  2. • If a judge signs a validly executed search warrant or compels clinician(s) to testify in court.
  3. • If a client is in therapy or being treated by order of a court of law, or if the information is obtained for the purpose of rendering an expert’s report to an attorney.
  4. • If a client threatens or attempts to commit suicide or otherwise conducts themselves in a manner in which there is a substantial risk of incurring serious bodily harm.
  5. • If the therapist has a reasonable suspicion that a client or other named victim is the perpetrator, observer of, or actual victim of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, or suspected neglect of, children under the age of 18 years, persons with disabilities, or elderly persons.
  6. • Information may be provided to parents if the client is a minor.
  7. • If you file a complaint or lawsuit against the clinician, I may disclose relevant information to defend myself.
  8. • If you die and the communication is important in matters affecting your estate.
  9. • If I find that you are seeking treatment to avoid detection or apprehension, or to enable anyone else to commit a crime.
  10.  • If you disclose a sexual relationship with a past mental health professional or serious misconduct on the part of another licensed professional, I am obligated to report this to the proper authorities and licensing entities.  
  11.  • Should you want clinician to acknowledge you as a client or to disclose information to any person, and have verbally or in writing requested clinician to do so.
  12. • If at any time, I have concerns about a particular issue, Center to Rise Wellness Spa Studio (CTRWSS) clinician(s), may discuss that issue with a qualified and trustworthy attorney, but the privilege extends to that attorney who must also maintain this confidentiality and may only discuss the issue with a clinician(s)

Additionally, the clinician may disclose the information if you sign a release form granting permission to designated third parties to receive information that you request CTRWSS to share. I will never disclose your information for any reason without your knowledge of the intent. 

  Therapeutic Relationship The relationship between CTRWSS Staff and clients is the container through which change can take place. As such, the relationship is often one in which close emotional bonds develop. It is also a professional relationship, in which appropriate boundaries must be maintained. The therapist-client relationship is so important, I cannot be involved in a social relationship or friendship that exists outside of the therapy room. Limiting our relationship to the therapy office keeps your therapeutic environment safe, secure, and free of outside complications that could interfere with your therapy work. The Therapeutic Process entails tailoring therapy to meet the needs of each client individually. I have worked with clients experiencing grief, financial difficulties, relationship difficulties, and those who are alone without family support. 

 Fees$55 per 50-minute session. $35.00 per 30-minute session. $125.00 per 1.5-2 hr Energy Healing session.  Deposits are 50% of the session of choice.  I.e if the session is $55.00 the deposit is $27.50. Full Payments and deposits can be made on http://www.Centertorise.com  

 Session Guidelines sessions are 30, 50,minutes and 1.5- 2 hrs. If you need to cancel an appointment, you must give  24 hours notice. Otherwise, you will be charged for the missed appointment. Sessions are expected to begin and end at the scheduled time. Late arrival on your part will not extend the scheduled ending time for a session. It is expected to be on time, and Center To Rise Wellness Spa Studio will make appropriate remedies if the clinician/practitioner or empowerment specialist is late, such as by making up the time, prorating the fee, etc.  The frequency of sessions and the length of the empowerment sessions are aspects of the work that you choose to do. 

LENGTH OF TREATMENT Some clients need only a few empowerment sessions to achieve insight toward their goals; others may require months or even years of counseling. As the client, you are in complete control and may end/terminate or cancel the CTRWSS counseling relationship at any time. When you are ready to leave therapy, all you have to do is give CTRWSS advance notice. I may ask that you participate in a termination session for the purpose of reviewing our work together and creating a positive ending.

INSURANCE  CTRWSS does NOT accept insurance. We are a private pay entity.
