Client Responsibility

Counseling sessions typically last for 50 minutes. Your promptness and active participation in the counseling process are necessary for progress to be made. It is your responsibility to keep scheduled appointments and to inform the therapist if your address or phone number changes. If there is no contact with you for 30 days, your case file will be closed. If you must cancel your appointment, please (662) 889-2067, preferably 24 hours in advance. Goals will be based upon the problem(s) and the counselee’s willingness to complete tasks assigned by the counselor. Closing session(s) are strongly recommended before termination. Counselees are forewarned that sadness, fear, or anxiety may be an expected reaction to therapy. A positive outcome is dependent upon compliance with treatment recommendations.
