Psychological Evaluation for Long Term Treatment with Opioid Medication
Aloha! You've been referred by Dr. Tavares to receive a psychological evaluation. This is not an
assessment of your injury and\or pain. The purpose of this evaluation is to assess:
1) how effective you think your current medications are for treating your pain, and
2) your risk of experiencing any undesireable biopsychosocial consequences of your opioid medications.
This assessment entails completion of this assessment package (11 pages), plus 3 other forms that will be
given to you on your first visit. These 3 forms take patients an average of 20 minutes to complete. These forms
are designed to assess personality and mood and will be followed by a meeting with the psychologist. Please
have this intake package completed before your appointment to avoid a delay in your assessment.
Thank you for your patience. If you have any questions, please contact your provider at Aloha Counseling
Associates, LLC (ACA, LCC). Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Dr. Valdez and Staff

TREATMENT GUIDELINES
Confidentiality:
In general, the privacy of all communications between a patient and a psychologist is protected by law, and your provider
can only release information about our work to others with your written permission.
Legal Proceedings: If, for some reason, your provider is court ordered to testify or release information regarding your
mental health or where your emotional condition is an important issue.
Abuse: If you tell your provider that you or some other identifiable person is abusing a child, elderly, or disabled person,
your provider is legally mandated to file a report with the appropriate state agency.
Danger To Self or Others: If you tell your provider that you are threatening serious bodily harm to either yourself or
another. These actions may include notifying the potential victim, contacting the police, seeking hospitalization for the
patient, or contacting family members or others who can help provide protection.
These situations occur quite rarely. But, if this situation occurs, your provider will make every effort to fully discuss it
with you before taking any action.
Minors: If you are a minor, under the age of 18, please be aware that the law may provide your parents the right to
information about your treatment. For teenagers, it is the policy at ACA, LLC to request an agreement from your parents
that they be provided with only general information about our work together, unless there is a high risk that you will
seriously harm yourself or someone else. Before giving them any information, your provider will discuss the matter with
you, if possible, and do their best to address any objections you may have.
Office Sharing: Please note ACA, LLC shares an office space with West Shore Neurological Services, LLC. These are
two separate entities, however, we consult with each other if you are a patient at both clinics.
PROFESSIONAL RECORDS
ACA, LLC is required to keep records of its professional services, your treatment, or your work together. Our general
policy is that patients may not review them; however, we can provide a treatment summary unless it is believed that doing
so would be emotionally damaging. If that is the case, we will be happy to send the summary to another mental health
professional who is working with you.
DISPUTES
Litigation Limitation: Due to the nature of the therapeutic process and the fact that it often involves making a full
disclosure with regard to many matters which 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
attorney(s) nor anyone else acting on your behalf will call on ACA, LLC provider(s) to testify in court or at any
other proceeding, nor will a disclosure of psychotherapy records be requested.
