The thief
comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that
you may have life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it
overflows)!” — Jesus
(John 10:10)
“But when
anything is exposed by the light, it is made visible and clear; and
where everything is visible and clear there is light. Therefore
He says, Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ
shall shine (make day dawn) upon you and give you
light! — Apostle
Paul (Ephesians 5:13-14)
“Awake, my
glory [my inner self]!” — King David
(Psalm 57:8)
Disclosure information and
Agreement
to the Counseling Process
Prayer Counseling
The
model of Prayer
Ministry Counseling is primarily
pastoral. My training has been both academic (7 years University,
B.A. in Human Services) and pastoral (Elijah House Schools,
Internship & Staff; Church leadership), as well as deep/life
experience through tragedy and transformation. All counseling is
based on principles of scripture and dependent on the Holy
Spirit’s presence, giftings and anointing. The process of
counseling will include coming to understand the bitter roots of
problems, forgiving those who’ve sinned against you, and receiving
forgiveness for judging them.
Counseling Service Payment
Suggested
payment is $100.00 per 90 minute session. If a shorter or longer
appointment is desired, my hourly rate is $66.00 per hour. Please
pay at the time of service unless prior arrangements have been
made. Payment is expected for missed appointments or any
cancellation with less than 24 hours notice.
Insurance
Your
Insurance may or may not allow payment for my services. It is the
counselee’s responsibility to consult with their insurance
carrier. Some find counseling payments to be tax deductible under
‘medical expenses’ — contact your tax consultant.
Satisfaction or Non-satisfaction of Services
Rendered
The
Holy Spirit is 100% dependable, as is God’s Word. Human error in
application, however, leaves the outcome of the counseling process
without 100% guarantees. Therefore, it is understood as the
counselee enters into a relationship with the counselor,
that Prayer
Counseling provides an
opportunity for healing in which the outcome depends on a number
of factors. Readiness for the counseling process cannot insure what
your response will be to discovery of trauma. So, we agree at the
outset that the risk of pain in identifying the roots of behaviors,
is a worthy risk weighed against the value of preventing patterns
of hurt in life from going on and on! The counselee, of course,
always has the privilege of termination at any time for any
reason. The counselor may refuse counseling services or refer
clients as deemed necessary.
Permission, Confidentiality, Duty to Report
It is with this understanding that the undersigned does enter into
the counseling relationship and assumes the responsibilities as set
forth.
I do hereby give
permission for the counselor to consult with other Counseling
professionals as needed (names are not used). I understand my
right to confidentiality will be respected. No information
shared will be disclosed without my written consent unless as
preempted or required by law. The legal duty of care imposed on the
counselor is to report:
- Instances of physical or sexual abuse to a child
- Reasons to believe the patient may harm another person or may be imminently suicidal.
