I understand that services may include psychiatric or psychological assessments, individual, group, art or family psychotherapy, psycho-educational services, and/or consultation.
I understand that all forms of mental health treatment in which I participate are to be performed at my own risk and without liability to the independently licensed service provider, Carrie Sandman, ATR, LMHC or the Landlord. Initial consultations are scheduled for one hour; all other sessions are forty-five (45) minutes unless otherwise agreed upon by the provider.

I understand that records of my treatment are subject to review by the third party payer, if applicable.
Appointment times will be arranged for the mutual convenience of the client and the service provider. If I am unable to keep a scheduled appointment, I agree to call and cancel within twenty-four (24) hours, or the prior business day, in advance of the appointment. I understand that I am responsible to pay for appointments that I do not cancel within twenty-four (24) hours. A cancellation fee of $75.00 will be charged for “no-show” or appointments cancelled in less than 24 hours. All fees or fee arrangements are due at the time of service.
I acknowledge that Carrie Sandman, ATR, LMHC is being hired to provide psychotherapy services, and not to be involved in legal/forensic proceedings. Should Carrie Sandman, ATR, LMHC be subpoenaed for clinical testimony, an hourly rate of $200.00 will be paid by the client.
