Support That Respects Your Strength.
How long are court-ordered programs?
Program length depends on the referral requirements and clinical assessment. Most structured programs range from 8 to 15 weeks. Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) may meet 2–3 times per week depending on need.
What happens if someone misses a session?
Attendance is important for compliance and progress. If a session is missed, clients are encouraged to communicate as soon as possible. More than three (3) sessions missed may constintue participant starts group over or it prolongs the group sessions. Documentaiton from appointmst is requested if participatns wants them to be excused. Documentation of attendance and participation may be shared with the court when authorized through a signed Release of Information.
Will the court receive updates?
Yes, when a Release of Information (ROI) is signed, we provide professional documentation including attendance verification, progress summaries when appropriate, and completion certificates.
Is this just about compliance?
Compliance is important. But our goal is long-term stability, not just program completion. We focus on skill-building, emotional regulation, and relapse prevention so change can continue beyond court involvement. Mistakes are made, relapse (slips) happen during recovery. Its how they proceed that makes the difference.

What if I can't pay or don't have insurance.
We will work with each participant individually by offering options from sliding scale, cash pay, extened payment plan, help with getting insurance. We do not turn anyone away, if we cant help them we work with them on finding a place that can.
What happens if I miss a session?
Attendance is an important part of both clinical progress and court compliance.
If you need to miss a session:
• Please notify the office as soon as possible
• Missed sessions may impact program timelines
• Repeated absences may be reported when an ROI is active
• Make-up sessions may be offered when appropriate
Communication is encouraged. Accountability is part of growth.
What if I have insurance?
If we are credentialed with your insurance plan, you will be responsible for your copay, deductible, or coinsurance as listed on your insurance card.
If we are not yet credentialed with your insurance, you may still receive services as a self-pay client. You will pay your copay-equivalent rate at the time of service until insurance approval is finalized.
We are expanding insurance participation as part of our practice growth.
What if I do not have insurance?
We offer a sliding fee scale based on household size and income.
If you do not have insurance:
• You may qualify for reduced rates
• Income verification may be required
• Payment plans may be discussed
Our goal is to provide access while maintaining professional sustainability.
Can I stop my Release of Information (ROI) once I am off probation or court supervision?
Yes.
You may revoke your Release of Information at any time in writing. Once revoked, we will no longer share information with the listed parties moving forward.
Your therapy remains confidential once court involvement ends and the ROI is no longer active.
What information is shared with probation or referring agencies?
When a signed ROI is active, only summary-level information is shared.
This may include:
• Attendance verification
• Enrollment status
• Treatment plan goals
• Participation level
• Outreach attempts
• Completion status
We do not share detailed session notes, personal disclosures, or verbatim conversations.
Confidentiality remains a priority.
Does my Release of Information expire?
Yes.
Most ROIs are time-limited and include an expiration date. If no date is specified, standard practice applies (typically one year unless otherwise indicated).
You may also revoke an ROI in writing at any time.
Can I return after completing a program?
Skill-based programming addressing emotional triggers, impulse control, and communication patterns.
What if I complete my court requirement but want to continue therapy?
You may continue services voluntarily. Once your court requirement ends and your ROI is closed, your care becomes fully confidential and client-directed.
Is everything I say reported to probation?
We share summary information only when a Release of Information is signed. Therapy remains a confidential space focused on growth, accountability, and emotional regulation.
Our role is to support change — not to monitor personal disclosures.
