  • Welcome to Oklahoma Christian Counseling, PC. Please read over our policies. If you have any questions, feel free to ask our staff. We will always work with patients to keep their out-of-pocket expenses as affordable as possible.

    Fees: Counseling sessions are typically 50 minutes long. The fee for a typical session is $95-$250 (fees vary based on service). Payment is collected before your session at the reception desk or we can automatically run your credit/debit card at each session.

  • * FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: I understand that I am ultimately responsible for all counseling fees, whether I file insurance or not.

  • * DEDUCTIBLES & CO-PAYS: I understand my insurance may have a deductible. I understand my insurance will not pay anything until I have paid my deductible amount for medical expenses. I understand a co-pay is the amount I owe After my deductible is met. I understand that I can not pay less than the amount my insurance requires for a counseling session, as this would violate the contract between OCC & my insurance company.

In the event that my account is overdue and turned over to our collection agency, the client or responsible party will be held liable for any fee charged to our office to collect the debt owed.

I understand that if I do not cancel more than 24-hours before my appointment I will be charged and pay the full fee of the session. If we are filing insurance for you, your insurance carrier will not pay for your missed session and you will be charged the full fee, not just the deductible. Your charge will be applied to your debit/credit card on file or to your prepaid balance.

  • Agreement Not To Seek Testimony

  • I hereby acknowledge that Oklahoma Christian Counseling, PC ("OCC") and my Therapist have informed me how involving a treating psychotherapist as a non-party witness in legal proceedings can create conflicts of interest and negatively impact therapy, reducing the possibility of a successful treatment outcome.

  •

    It is with this understanding that I hereby agree, as a condition upon which OCC and Therapist has consented to provide therapy, that I (or my legal representative) will not call, subpoena, or otherwise seek to compel OCC or Therapist to provide oral or written testimony as a non-party witness in a legal proceeding with respect to his/her assessment, evaluation, or treatment of me, my partner, or my child.

    I agree that such attempts to seek OCC or Therapist's testimony as a non-party witness shall constitute a basis upon which a court should quash any subpoena or issue a protective order, and I agree to be responsible for and to pay for any attorney fees and costs incurred by OCC or Therapist in attempting to secure enforcement of, and compliance with, this agreement.

    I also agree that Therapist, whether in the role of fact or expert witness, is entitled to recover from me his/her current professional rate of $500 per hour for any time he/she spends providing, preparing to provide, or traveling to provide oral or written testimony as a non-party witness in a legal proceeding in which I or my representative seek his/her testimony. This includes testimony compelled by a court

    Finally, I agree to deliver to OCC or Therapist a retainer of $2,000 before he/ she provides any oral or written testimony as a non-party witness in any legal proceeding in which I or my representative seek his/her testimony.
