Welcome to Allied Counseling Services!
Congratulations on your decision to seek counseling. The counseling experience is a process of exploration and discovery of what is working in your life as well as what is no longer working and limiting your potential. I recognize that there is an emotional journey that takes place to reach the point of seeking out a therapist, as well as strong emotions, that can come up in selecting one. Therefore, I commend you for making it this far. Through exercising the courage that you obviously have, faith in the process, and commitment to reach your goals.
Allied Counseling Services uses a client portal that is HIPPA compliant to keep information shared confidential. I cannot ensure the confidentiality of any form of communication through electronic media, including text messages. If you prefer to communicate via email or text messaging for issues regarding scheduling or cancellations, I will do so. While I may try to return messages in a timely manner, I cannot guarantee immediate response and request that you do not use these methods of communication to discuss therapeutic content and/or request assistance for emergencies. If this is something that you choose to do, you are doing so at your own risk.
If we have mutually agreed and affirmed that video sessions are necessary, there will be a link in your client portal or you will be directed to attend in Doxy.me with the link provided in your email or by clicking the link below to access the waiting room for your session.
*Other exceptions to confidentiality and privacy are available to new clients.
