Telehealth Consultation Consent & Understanding Welcome! I look forward to speaking with you. Before we connect for our free 15-minute consultation, please read and agree to the following terms: Purpose of Consultation: This brief call is solely to discuss your general reasons for seeking counseling, learn about my clinical approach at Renewed Mind Christian Counseling, PLLC, and determine if we are a good fit to work together. Not Psychotherapy: This consultation is strictly informational. It is not psychotherapy, a psychiatric evaluation, or medical treatment. I will not be providing a diagnosis, clinical interventions, or therapeutic advice during this call. No Therapist-Client Relationship: Participating in this consultation does not establish a formal therapist-client relationship. That legally binding relationship is only established after we both agree to move forward and you have signed my formal Informed Consent and Disclosure Statement. Telehealth Privacy: We will meet via phone or a secure video platform. While I use HIPAA-compliant systems, there are inherent privacy risks to electronic communication. Please ensure you are in a quiet, private, and safe location for our call. Crisis & Emergencies: Because we do not yet have an established therapeutic relationship, I cannot provide emergency or crisis support. If you are currently experiencing a mental health emergency or having thoughts of harming yourself or others, please call 911, dial 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), or go to the nearest emergency room immediately.
