Scheduling: Please call at least 24 hours in advance to cancel an appointment. You may be charged for appointments not kept or canceled without 24 hours notice.
Crises: If you feel an urgent need to talk between sessions, call me at 314-517-8383 (“51-STEVE”), and I will return the call as soon as possible. If the emergency is life threatening, call Life Crisis Services Hot Line (647-4357), Behavioral Health Response(800-811-4760), or “911”.
Fees: The standard fee is $90 per hour, usually collected during each appointment. Special payment arrangements, such as a sliding fee scale, insurance reimbursement or delayed payment, may be negotiated with the therapist.
Privacy: I will adhere to all state laws and ethical standards. You can expect information from your counseling sessions to be kept confidential by me, unless: 1) You report information that a child appears to have been abused; 2) You express intent to kill or seriously injure yourself; 3) You express intent to kill, seriously injure, or commit a crime against someone else; or 4) You report unethical behavior by another therapist. Information about your therapy may also be subpoenaed by a court of law, although our right to maintain client privilege (confidentiality) has been upheld by the Supreme Court. Your case may also be discussed for the purposes of clinical consultation with other therapists. You may also give me written authorization to discuss your case with any one else you choose.
A full Notice
of Privacy Practices and Standards of Communication are posted in my
waiting room and on my web site, or can be printed upon request.
Case Closing: If there is no session or communication with the therapist for a period of 6 months, the case will be closed. Therapy may later be resumed by mutual agreement.
