Practice Policies / Client Information

Bare Soul Therapy, PLLC provides therapy-related services for adults, couples, and relationship or sex therapy concerns, only where services are clinically appropriate and legally authorized. Therapy is collaborative and individualized; methods, risks, benefits, alternatives, fees, privacy limits, and continuity planning may be discussed in more detail during intake.

Full intake and consent paperwork may be provided separately before services begin. Those documents may include more detailed information about clinical approach, risks and benefits of therapy, confidentiality, records, fees, telehealth, emergency planning, and client rights.

Fees, insurance practices, and payment methods should be confirmed in intake paperwork and may be updated from time to time.

Appointments canceled with less than 48 hours notice may be charged the full session fee. No-show appointments may also be charged the full session fee. Emergency or unusual circumstances can be discussed with the therapist, but the policy helps protect clinical availability and continuity of care.

Email, voicemail, text, and website forms are generally for scheduling and administrative communication. They may not be monitored continuously and should not be used for emergencies, urgent clinical updates, or highly sensitive information.

The therapist may not respond to social media messages or connection requests in order to protect boundaries and confidentiality. Online reviews, public comments, or social media interactions may affect privacy and should be considered carefully.

Requests for records, letters, summaries, disability paperwork, legal documentation, subpoenas, court involvement, or testimony require careful review. The practice may decline requests outside the scope of treatment or may require written authorization, legal review, fees, or additional time. Couples, family, and relational work may involve special confidentiality and records considerations.

Therapy works best when communication remains respectful and clinically focused. The practice may end services or provide referrals if services are no longer clinically appropriate, if the therapist is not legally authorized to continue, if payment or attendance issues persist, or if respectful boundaries cannot be maintained. When clinically appropriate, the practice will support continuity-of-care planning.

Both states require therapists to maintain professional liability insurance, keep accurate records, report any disciplinary actions, and comply with mandatory reporting statutes regarding abuse, neglect, or threat to safety.
