SCOPE OF SERVICES
Real Talk PLLC provides individual counseling services. These services are intended to support personal growth, emotional well-being, and the development of coping strategies. Counseling services are not a substitute for medical care, psychiatric services, or emergency intervention. If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, please call 911, go to your nearest emergency room, or contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
Services are provided within the scope of the clinician's training, licensure, and professional competence. No specific outcomes can be guaranteed, as progress in therapy depend on a variety of individual factors. Participation in counseling is voluntary, and clients are encouraged to actively engage in the process to achieve the best possible outcomes.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Your privacy is an important part of the counseling process. Information shared in therapy is kept confidential in accordance with legal and ethical standards. There are some exceptions to confidentiality required by law. These include situations involving risk of harm to yourself or others, suspected abuse or neglect of a child, dependent adult, or elder, or when records are required by court order.
Counseling services are provided in a safe and nonjudgmental space, and clients are encouraged to ask questions about confidentiality at any time. Additional details regarding confidentiality and its limits are provided in the informed consent process prior to beginning services.
FEES & PAYMENT
Session rates and payment details will be discussed prior to beginning services. A sliding scale may be available based on individual circumstances. Please note that cancellation policies and financial agreements will be reviewed as part of the informed consent process.
Before starting services, we'll go over all the important details - what to expect, policies, confidentiality, and any questions you have - so you can feel comfortable and informed moving forward.
