Welcome to Associates in Health Psychology. We look forward to helping
you and your family find meaningful solutions to the challenges you face.
Beginning the important work of therapy is often a difficult decision.
Even once your initial appointment has been made, you and your family
may feel both eager to begin as well as somewhat uncomfortable about
coming in for your first meeting with your therapist. We understand.
Many people find the thought of beginning therapy unsettling until they
actually start the process. Then they feel more comfortable. Now that
you’ve taken the first step toward working on some of the areas of
concern in your life, try not to let some initial discomfort keep you and
your family from pursuing what you know will be in your best interest.
Before your first meeting, you might think about what you hope to gain
from therapy and what is most important to you. Then you can discuss
these thoughts with your therapist. Some clients have found that jotting
down notes about what they want to discuss helps them feel more
comfortable.
If you have any questions prior to your appointment, please call our
office or email us. You may leave a message for our office staff or our
therapists 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 302-428-0205. Our email is:
[email protected].
For directions to our locations, see:

OFFICE POLICIES
In order to prevent misunderstandings about office policies, please read the following:
CONFIDENTIALITY: All information disclosed within sessions and the written records pertaining to those sessions are
confidential and may not be revealed to anyone without your written permission, except where disclosure is required by
law or by court order. The law requires disclosure where there is a reasonable suspicion of child abuse, elder abuse or
neglect; where a client presents a danger to self, to others, or to property; is gravely disabled; or is significantly impaired
from drug and/or alcohol use. In these emergency situations, therapists will do whatever they can, within the limits of the
law, to prevent clients from injuring self or others and to ensure that clients receive the proper care. Within AHP,
therapists share on-call responsibilities. All AHP therapists are legally bound to keep disclosed information confidential.
We will maintain client case files for 7 years from the last session date, or until the client becomes 24, whichever is later.
TELEPHONE & EMERGENCY PROCEDURES: If you need to reach your (or your child’s) therapist between
appointments, you may leave a message 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on his/her voice mail at (302) 428-0205. If your
call is urgent, call (302) 428-0205 and dial extension 9. Inform the office staff or our answering service that your call is
urgent. If it is during office hours and the therapist is available, he/she will call you back. After hours, the on-call
therapist will call you back as soon as possible. If your call is urgent and a therapist does not call you back immediately,
please call the Rockford Center Needs Assessment at (302) 996-5480, Psych Crisis of Christiana Care Health Systems at
(302) 428-2118, the Crisis Intervention Services at (302) 577-2484 or (800) 652-2929, or MeadowWood Hospital at (302)
328-3330. If your call is a life threatening emergency, you should go immediately to the closest hospital or call 911.
PAYMENTS: At each session, payment is expected for any fees due. Missed appointments will be charged to you at the
therapist’s usual and customary rate unless you cancel 24 hours before the scheduled appointment. Monday appointments
must be cancelled by the previous Friday. Telephone conversations, site visits, report writing and/or form completion,
consultation with other professionals, reading records, longer sessions, and/or travel time will be charged at the therapist’s
standard, non-contractual rate. Requests to release your records will be subject to an administrative charge.
LITIGATION LIMITATION: Due to the nature of the therapeutic process, which often involves making a full
disclosure with regard to many matters that may be of a confidential nature, it is agreed that should there be legal
proceedings (such as, but not limited to, divorce and custody disputes, injuries, lawsuits, etc...), neither you nor your
attorneys, nor anyone else acting on your behalf, will call on your (or your child’s) therapist to testify in court or at any
other proceeding, nor will a disclosure of the psychotherapy records be requested.
RECORDING: Video or audio recording of any part of a session by either the therapist or client requires the written
consent of both.
TERMINATION: After the first one or two meetings, the therapist will assess if he/she can be of benefit to you (or your
child). Our therapists accept clients only if, in their opinion, they have the particular skills and experience necessary for
treatment. If at any point the therapist assesses that he/she is not effective in helping a client reach the therapeutic goals,
the therapist will discuss it with you. If appropriate, treatment will end and you will be given referrals to other treatment
providers. You also have the right to terminate services at any time. If you wish to do so, please inform your therapist
directly so the necessary steps may be taken to discharge you from care and close your file. If you do not show up for a
scheduled appointment and your therapist does not have contact with you for 6 weeks, your therapist will assume that you
are terminating services, discharge you from care, and close your file.
I have read the Office Policies. I understand them and agree to abide by them.

Therapy Agreement between the Parents/Guardians of a Minor and the Therapist
Prior to beginning treatment, it is important for you to understand my approach to child therapy and agree to some
rules about your child’s confidentiality during the course of his/her treatment. The information herein is in addition
to the information contained in the Office Policies and Consent for Treatment. Under HIPAA and my professional
ethics code, I am legally and ethically responsible to provide you with informed consent.
One risk of child therapy involves disagreement among parents and/or disagreement between parents and therapist
regarding the best interests of the child. If such disagreements occur, I will strive to listen carefully so that I can
understand your perspectives and fully explain my perspective. We can resolve such disagreements or we can agree
to disagree, so long as this enables your child’s therapeutic progress. Ultimately, you will decide whether therapy
will continue. If either of you decides that therapy should end, I will honor that decision, however I ask that you
allow me the option of having a few closing sessions to appropriately end the treatment relationship.
Therapy is most effective when a trusting relationship exists between the therapist and the client. Privacy is
especially important in securing and maintaining that trust. One goal of treatment is to promote a stronger and better
relationship between children and their parents. However, it is often necessary for children to develop a “zone of
privacy” whereby they feel free to discuss personal matters with greater freedom. This is particularly true for
adolescents who are naturally developing a greater sense of independence and autonomy. By signing this agreement,
you will be waiving your right of access to your child’s treatment records.
It is my policy to provide you with general information about treatment status. I will raise issues that may impact
your child either inside or outside the home. If it is necessary to refer your child to another mental health
professional with more specialized skills, I will share that information with you. I will not share with you what your
child has disclosed to me without your child’s consent. I will tell you if your child does not attend sessions.
If your child is an adolescent, it is possible that he/she will reveal sensitive information regarding sexual contact,
alcohol and drug use, or other potentially problematic behaviors. Sometimes these behaviors are within the range of
adolescent experimentation, but at other times they may require parental intervention. We must carefully and directly
discuss your feelings and opinions regarding acceptable behavior. If I ever believe that your child is at serious risk of
harming him/herself or another, I will inform you.
Note that such agreement may not prevent a judge from requiring my testimony, even though I will work to prevent
such an event. If I am required to testify, I am ethically bound not to give my opinion about parents’ custody,
visitation suitability or their parenting capacity. If the court appoints a custody evaluator, guardian ad litem, or
parenting coordinator, I will provide information as needed (if appropriate releases are signed or a court order is
provided), but I will not make any recommendation about the final decision. Furthermore, if I am required to appear
as a witness, the party responsible for my participation agrees to reimburse me at the rate of $350.00 per hour for
time spent traveling, preparing reports, testifying, being in attendance, and any other case-related costs.
I have read the Therapy Agreement between the Parents/Guardians of a Minor and the Therapist. I understand
them and agree to abide by them.

Notice of Privacy Policies & Practices
Your Information. Your Rights. Our Responsibilities. This notice describes how medical information about
you may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to this information. Please review it carefully.
I. Uses and Disclosures for Treatment, Payment, and Healthcare Operations
We may use and disclose your protected health information (PHI) for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations with
your consent. To help clarify these terms, here are some definitions.
A. “PHI” refers to information in your health record that could identify you.
B. “Treatment, Payment and Health Care Operations”
– Treatment is providing, coordinating or managing your health care and other services related to your health
care. For example, we may use PHI to provide counseling to you. Or, we may disclose your PHI to other health care
providers involved in your treatment, such as your family physician or another psychologist.
– Payment is obtaining reimbursement for your healthcare. For example, we will disclose your PHI to your
health insurer to obtain reimbursement for your health care or to determine eligibility or coverage.
– Health Care Operations are activities that relate to the performance and operation of our practice. Examples
of health care operations are quality assessment and improvement activities, business-related matters such as audits
and administrative services, and case management and care coordination.
C. “Use” applies only to activities within Associates in Health Psychology such as sharing, employing, applying,
utilizing, examining, and analyzing information that identifies you.
D. “Disclosure” applies to activities outside of our practice, such as releasing, transferring, or providing access to
information about you to other parties.
II. Uses and Disclosures Requiring Your Authorization
AHP may use or disclose PHI for purposes outside of treatment, payment, or health care operations when your
appropriate authorization is obtained. An “authorization” is written permission above and beyond the general consent that
permits only specific disclosures.
A. Psychotherapy Notes: Notes recorded by your therapist documenting the contents of a counseling session with you
("Psychotherapy Notes") will be used only by your therapist and will not otherwise be used or disclosed without your
written authorization. Psychotherapy Notes are given a greater degree of protection than PHI.
B. Other Uses and Disclosures: Uses and disclosures other than those described in Section I. above will only be made
with your authorization. For example, you will need to sign an authorization form before AHP can send PHI to your life
insurance company, to a school, or to your attorney. You may revoke any such authorization at any time.
You may revoke all such authorizations (of PHI or Psychotherapy Notes) at any time, provided each revocation is in
writing. You may not revoke an authorization to the extent that (1) we have relied on that authorization; or (2) if the
authorization was obtained as a condition of obtaining insurance coverage; the law provides the insurer the right to contest
the claim under the policy.
III. Uses and Disclosures with Neither Consent nor Authorization
Your therapist may use or disclose PHI without your consent or authorization when required or permitted to do so by
law. The most common such disclosures are listed below.
A. Child Abuse: If a therapist knows or in good faith suspects child abuse or neglect, the therapist is required to report
such knowledge or suspicion to the appropriate authority.
B. Adult and Domestic Abuse: If a therapist has reasonable cause to believe that an adult person is infirm or
incapacitated and in need of protective services, the therapist must report such information to the Delaware Department
of Health and Social Services.
C. Health Oversight Activities: If the Division of Professional Regulation is investigating our practice, we must
comply with any subpoenas issued by the Division.
D. Judicial and Administrative Proceedings: If you are involved in a court proceeding and a request is made for
information about your diagnosis and treatment and the records thereof, such information is privileged under state law,
and AHP will not release information without the written authorization of you or your legally appointed representative or
Forms05\HIPPAtx\AHPPrivNoticeSep13
a court order. The privilege does not apply when you are being evaluated for a third party or where the evaluation is
court ordered. You will be informed in advance if this is the case.
E. Serious Threat to Health or Safety: If you communicate to your therapist an explicit and imminent threat to kill or
seriously injure a clearly identified victim or victims, or to commit a specific violent act or to destroy property under
circumstances which could easily lead to serious personal injury or death, and you have an apparent intent and ability to
carry out the threat, the therapist may disclose information in order to provide protection for the identified victim. If your
therapist believes that there is an imminent risk that you will inflict serious physical harm on yourself, the therapist may
disclose information in order to protect you.
F. Privacy Rule Exceptions: When the use and disclosure without your consent or authorization is allowed under other
sections of Section 164.512 of the Privacy Rule and the state’s confidentiality law. This includes certain narrowlydefined disclosures to law enforcement agencies, to a health oversight agency (such as HHS or a state department of
health), to a coroner or medical examiner, for public health purposes relating to disease or FDA-regulated products, or for
specialized government functions such as fitness for military duties, eligibility for VA benefits, and national security and
intelligence.
IV. Your Rights
A. Right to Restrict Disclosures When You Have Paid for Your Care Out-of-Pocket. You have the right to restrict
certain disclosures of PHI to a health plan when you pay out-of-pocket in full for AHP services.
B. Right to Request Other Restrictions: You have the right to request other restrictions on certain uses and
disclosures of protected health information. However, AHP is not required to agree to your request.
C Right to Receive Confidential Communications by Alternative Means and at Alternative Locations: You have
the right to request and receive confidential communications of PHI by alternative means and at alternative locations.
(For example, you may not want a family member to know that you are seeing a therapist.) On your request, we will
send your bills to another address.
D. Right to Inspect and Copy: You have the right to inspect or obtain a copy (or both) of PHI in the AHP mental
health and billing records used to make decisions about you for as long as the PHI is maintained in the record. AHP may
deny your access to PHI under certain circumstances, but in some cases you may have this decision reviewed. If you are
a parent or legal guardian of a minor, please note that certain portions of the minor's medical record will not be accessible
to you. On your request, the AHP Privacy Officer will discuss with you the details of the request and denial process.
E. Right to Request Amendment: You have the right to request an amendment of PHI for as long as the PHI is
maintained in the record. Your request must be in writing, and it must explain why the information should be amended.
AHP may deny your request under certain circumstances.
F. Right to an Accounting: You generally have the right to receive an accounting of disclosures of PHI for purposes
other than treatment, payment or health care operations, excluding disclosures made to you or disclosures otherwise
authorized by you. On your request, the AHP Privacy Officer will discuss with you the details of the accounting process.
G. Right to Be Notified if There is a Breach of Your Unsecured PHI. You have a right to be notified if: (a) there is a
breach (a use or disclosure of your PHI in violation of the HIPAA Privacy Rule) involving your PHI; (b) that PHI has not
been encrypted to government standards; and (c) my risk assessment fails to determine that there is a low probability that
your PHI has been compromised.
H. Right to a Paper Copy: You have the right to obtain a paper copy of the AHP Privacy Notice upon request to your
therapist or the office staff at any time.
I. Questions and Complaints: You may contact the AHP Privacy Officer at Associates in Health Psychology, LLC;
1521 Concord Pike, Suite 103, Wilmington, DE 19803 with questions or complaints. You may also file written
complaints with the Director, Office for Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. AHP will
not retaliate against you if you file a complaint.
V. Effective Date and Changes to this Notice
A. Effective Date: The original version was effective on April 14, 2003. This Notice was revised February 8, 2010, and
revised again under the “Final Rule” effective September 23, 2013.
B. Changes to this Notice: AHP may change the terms of this Notice and the changes will apply retroactively to all
PHI we maintain. The revised notice will be available upon request, in our office and on our web site.

CONSENT FOR THERAPY/EVALUATION
THE PROCESS OF THERAPY/EVALUATION Psychotherapy is not easily described in general statements.
It varies depending on the personalities of the therapist and client and the particular problems you bring
forward. There are many different methods that therapists at AHP may use to deal with the problems you hope
to address. Psychotherapy is not like a medical doctor visit. Instead, it calls for a very active effort on your part.
In order for therapy to be most successful, you will have to work on things talked about in our sessions.
Psychotherapy can have benefits and risks. Since therapy sometimes involves discussing unpleasant aspects of
your life, you may at times experience uncomfortable feelings such as sadness, guilt, anger, frustration,
loneliness, and helplessness. At the same time, psychotherapy has been shown to have many positive benefits
for people who go through it. Therapy often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and
significant reductions in feelings of distress. There are no guarantees of what you will experience, however.
Attempting to resolve issues that brought you to therapy in the first place, such as personal or interpersonal
relationships, may result in changes that were not originally intended. Psychotherapy may result in decisions
about changing behaviors, employment, substance use, schooling, housing or relationships. Sometimes a
decision that is positive for one family member is viewed quite negatively by another family member.
Sometimes change will be easy and swift, but it can also be slow and even frustrating.
The first one or two meetings will involve a discussion of your concerns and other important aspects of your
life. These meetings allow the therapist to get to know you and to have a context in which to understand your
goals. By the end of the evaluation, your therapist will be able to assess if he/she can be of benefit to you. If so,
your therapist will give you an initial plan of what your work together will include. During the course of
working together, your therapist may ask you for your feedback and views on your therapy, its progress or
about other aspects of the therapy. You are encouraged to respond openly and honestly. It is always
appropriate for you to ask questions about your therapy and your therapist’s view of your progress. All of the
therapists at AHP do their best to create an atmosphere in which you feel safe to disclose your true thoughts and
feelings.
We look forward to working with you to help you successfully face the challenges in your life. Your signature
below indicates that you have read this Consent and understand it.

Health Insurance and Managed Care Release
I have agreed to see you under the terms set by the health insurance/managed care company which oversees your
mental health benefits. Managed care means that an outside company selects approved therapists and determines
both the need for treatment and the length of time treatment will be provided. The following paragraphs outline
some of the general aspects of managed care contracts you should know about.
1) The managed care company may require regular and somewhat detailed reports regarding your symptoms,
diagnosis and treatment. There are no restrictions on the type or amount of information they may require. I will be
glad to discuss the content of these reports with you. Although my experience is that the information provided has
been treated with an appropriate degree of confidentiality, I cannot be responsible in any way for the health
insurance/managed care company's use or re-disclosure of the information provided to them.
2) In some instances, the managed care company must approve all sessions in advance. Each company has its own
criteria regarding what it considers as a "medical need" for therapy, which may differ from your and my assessment
of your need for therapy. I will take responsibility for the timely filing of requests for additional sessions, and I will
notify you of the outcome of these requests. However, provided I have met my responsibilities as stated above, you
will be financially responsible for direct payment of any charges which are not paid by your insurance.
3) At times, the managed care company may provide us with information concerning your previous mental health
history. This may include information on symptoms, diagnosis, and/or treatment. If you have ever had any
treatment that included substance abuse issues, provide the name(s) of the treatment facility and/or provider(s)
and the dates of treatment. Your initials below give me permission to obtain more information about your prior
substance abuse issues and/or related treatment from your managed care company, which in turn will help me to
support you more fully.

Client Initials: ____________

4) As explained in our Office Policies, it is our practice to charge for all canceled sessions if at least 24-hours notice
is not provided. Monday appointments must be canceled by the previous Friday. Please note that you can leave a
message for me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Insurance companies will not pay for missed sessions. Therefore,
you will be responsible for the full fee. You are also responsible for any co-payments and deductibles not covered
by your insurance. You may find out what these are by asking your insurance company or I will have information
available by your next appointment.
I will be glad to answer any questions you may have. Please sign this form indicating that you have read this
information and authorize release of information to your managed care company. This release will expire 3 months
beyond the period of time that you are in treatment with a behavioral health therapist at Associates in Health
Psychology, LLC.

CO-PAYS, CO-INSURANCES, and DEDUCTIBLES
Due to policy provisions in your contract with your insurance carrier, we are obligated to collect
your co-pay, co-insurance, and/or deductible. Payment is expected at each visit.
If your insurance policy has provisions such as deductibles, co-insurances, or co-payments, please
note that these provisions have been agreed to between you and your carrier. We cannot legally
discount fees submitted for services submitted for insurance reimbursement.
If our office had verified that your therapist has contracted with your mental health insurance plan,
we have additional contractual obligations to collect the balances as outlined by your insurance
company. Your out-of-pocket maximum will not be calculated correctly if we do not collect what
your insurance company expects us to collect. Furthermore, Associates in Health Psychology’s
contract with your carrier will be jeopardized if we do not collect your co-insurance, co-payment,
and/or deductible.
Additionally, for those Medicare clients who receive services eligible under Medicare, the terms of
the anti-kickback laws obligate us to collect the co-insurance, co-payment, and/or deductible.
We sincerely regret any inconvenience which might be caused by these regulatory or contractual
provisions, but we must be bound by all provisions of insurance policy and federal law. Associates
in Health Psychology will be happy to assist you in resolving any issues or concerns regarding your
insurance.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
