    Email is not a confidential form of communication and Reaching HOPE cannot ensure confidentiality or receipt in a timely manner; therefore, email should never be used to seek support for clinical or crisis/emergency situations.

    Crisis: I understand Reaching HOPE does not have a 24 hour crisis line and in the event of an emergency, I will call Colorado Crisis and Support Line at (844) 493-8255.

    Training of Mental Health Professionals:
    The practice of licensed or registered persons in the field of psychotherapy is regulated by the Mental Health Licensing Section of the Division of Registrations. The Board of Psychology Examiners can be reached at 1560 Broadway, Ste 1350, Denver, Colorado 80202, (303) 894-7800. As to the regulatory requirements applicable to mental health professionals:

    LICENSED PSYCHOLOGIST must hold a doctorate degree in psychology, have one year of post-doctoral supervision, and pass both the Examination for the Professional Practice of Psychology and the Jurisprudence Examination. A Psychologist Candidate must hold the necessary licensing degree and be in the process of completing the required supervision and examinations for licensure.

    Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and Licensed Professional Counselor must hold a masters degree in their profession and have two years of post-masters supervision. A Marriage and Family Therapist Candidate and a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate must hold the necessary licensing degree and be in the process of completing the required supervision for licensure.

    Registered Psychotherapist is registered with the State Board of Registered Psychotherapists, is not licensed or certified, and no degree, training or experience is required.

    Confidentiality: I understand that, generally speaking, the information provided by and to me during therapy sessions is legally confidential and cannot be released without my consent, except as required by law. There are exceptions to this confidentiality, some of which are listed in section 12-43-218, as well as other exceptions in Colorado and Federal law. In general, the exceptions include a "threat of serious harm to yourself or others" as in the case of child abuse, suicide, homicide, and grave disability; under a court order; or in response to any legal action taken by you against this agency. If a legal exception arises during therapy, if feasible, I will be informed accordingly. If you participate in group therapy, it is necessary for you to agree to protect and respect the privacy of other group members by not sharing personal information, including the names of other group members, with people outside of the group. You may expect other group members to show the same respect for your confidentiality.

    As a client, you have the right to:

    • Receive treatment only if you or your legal guardian give consent by signing this disclosure.
    • Terminate treatment at Reaching HOPE at any time.
    • Not be discriminated against, but rather be treated with respect and dignity.
    • Actively participate with your treatment provider in creating a plan for your care.
    • To include other people you think would be helpful to you in creating your care plan.
    • Refuse treatment unless you are court-ordered to receive services and be informed of consequence of your refusal.
    • To be represented by your guardian, if you are unable to fully participate in your treatment decisions.
    • Receive written notification and request a second opinion if you disagree with your provider's decision to reduce or discontinue your services, or deny you services.
    • Receive written information about Reaching HOPE's services, providers, and the fee structure.
    • Be safe in therapy; in a professional relationship, sexual intimacy is never appropriate and should be reported to the board that licenses, registers, or certifies the licensee, registrant or certificate holder.
    • Complain about our services at any time without retaliation.

    Follow-up: I understand that Reaching HOPE may contact me after termination of treatment to gather information needed for follow-up, program evaluation, and collection of unpaid debts.

    Destruction of Records: I understand that the clinical records from this treatment episode may be destroyed if no further treatment is rendered within 7 years of the date of termination of this episode. Any person who alleges that a mental professional has violated the licensing laws related to the maintenance of records of a client eighteen years of age or older, must file a complaint or other notice with the licensing board within 7 years after the person discovered or reasonably should have discovered this. Pursuant to law, this practice will maintain records for a period of 7 years commencing on the date of termination of services or on the date of last contact with the client, whichever is later.

    Animal Assisted Therapy: I understand that Reaching HOPE offers Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) with dogs registered with Delta Society. I have the right to refuse this service at any time. I understand that while AA T therapy dogs have undergone training and testing to ensure safety around all people, these are animals and as such can be unpredictable; therefore, I agree to assume the risk of any injury or illness resulting from my interactions with AAT partners. I agree to be responsible for my own actions and respectful of the animals.

    Supervision and Consultation: I understand that Reaching HOPE staff discuss all Reaching HOPE cases together to ensure best client care. I understand that all staff are receiving supervision by Drs. Austin and Born, licensed psychologists employed at Reaching HOPE. All discussion are confidential.

    • Email/Text communications are not secure and as such, confidentiality cannot be guaranteed.
    • No therapeutic services will be provided via email/text communications.
    • No emails/texts with urgent messages will be sent. Text/email will not be regularly monitored and is not intended for crisis purposes.

  • Attendance Policy

  • Reaching HOPE is dedicated to providing quality and dependable care to all of our clients. A successful therapy experience also depends on your commitment to attending therapy sessions. Because of this, it is necessary that you keep appointment times and communicate scheduling needs as quickly as possible.

    Our attendance policy requires 24-hour notice to cancel appointments except in cases such as serious illness or an unforeseen emergency. In general, we will take your word for emergencies; however, if emergencies or illnesses repeatedly interfere with your participation in therapy sessions, we will ask for documentation to excuse absences and waive fees. We allow two late cancellations (canceling with less than 24 hours notice) or no-shows (missing your therapy appointment with no notice) before we begin charging for the time our therapists have reserved for you. After the first late cancellation/no-show, you will receive a one time courtesy call to remind you of your appointment. After the second late cancellation/no-show you will receive an email reminding you of our attendance policy. If you do not show up for a session and do not call your therapist to communicate that there has been an emergency a third time, you will lose your spot on our calendar. In order to schedule another appointment, you must meet with our case manager to discuss barriers to attending sessions. It is very likely that your original appointment time will no longer be available if this occurs. If you do not meet with our case manager within 2 weeks of a missed appointment to discuss barriers and reschedule, you will be closed at Reaching HOPE and will need to call and schedule a new intake session in order to continue in therapy. In order to resume therapy services, all no-show/late cancellation fees must be paid prior to the next session, or a payment plan must be set up with an initial payment made prior to the next session. 

    It is important to note that all telehealth video appointments will be considered a no show if the client joins from a vehicle or location where they cannot obtain privacy.

  • Financial Fee Agreement


  • Payment is due at the time of services. Fees for services are:
    45 minute intake session $190
    45 minute individual therapy $150
    45 minute family therapy $175

    *We accept Crime Victim Compensation as payment in full from the following counties: Adams/Broomfield, Denver, Jefferson, Arapahoe, Weld. (Please inquire if you have funding from another county).

    Fees for case management services (including phone calls/contact outside of scheduled therapy session, meetings with additional providers/treatment team, etc.) are prorated at the individual session / hourly rate.

    Please note that each individual therapy session includes up to 10 minutes of case management, to be used only within the same week as the scheduled session.

    Written reports or court testimony have additional fees. Please ask if you require these services.

    Payment may be made by cash, personal check, or credit card.

    Bounced checks will be assessed a $30 fee.

    Balances more than 30 days overdue will be assessed a $20 overdue fee.

    Balances more than 90 days overdue may be sent to collections. In the even it becomes necessary to assign your account to a collection agency, you are responsible for any and all costs of collection, which may include attorney fees and other costs incurred.

    Failure to pay for services may result in termination of future services.

    Reaching HOPE requires 24-hour notice to cancel or reschedule all appointments. Appointments can be cancelled by calling your therapist and speaking to them directly or leaving a voicemail. You are ultimately responsible for remembering the appointments that you schedule with Reaching HOPE.

    You will be charged the full fee for each scheduled service if you/your child do not show or if you cancel with less than 24 hours notice (except in cases of an emergency; documentation from emergency personnel, such as a physician, will be necessary in order to avoid being charged). A credit card number will be kept on file and will be charged on the date of the missed or late cancelled appointment.

    I understand I am ultimately financially responsibility for agreed upon fees for services. If agreed upon, Reaching HOPE will bill Crime Victim Compensation and/or supply me with necessary paperwork to submit to my insurance company for reimbursement. However, I understand I am ultimately responsible for ensuring that Reaching HOPE receives payment in full for services rendered. Furthermore, by acknowledging below, I agree to have my credit card charged by Reaching HOPE for each missed or late cancelled appointment for myself and/or my minor child. I understand that if, for some reason, Reaching HOPE is unable to charge my credit card, I am still responsible for payment.
