I wish to receive consultation services from Nancy Goodman, LCSW.
I understand that these consultations do not constitute clinical supervision and that I remain completely responsible - ethically and legally - for the decisions I make in my own clinical case situations. My consultant will provide me with an opportunity to discuss clinical cases and issues about which s/he may have some expertise, and s/he may help me consider options for responding, but the comments made
for my consideration are not supervisional mandates.
I also understand that although we may sometimes need to discuss personal issues that may be relevant
to my clinical work, these consultation services do not constitute psychotherapy.
I understand the potential limits of the confidentiality of this relationship. To the extent possible, my case presentations will provide no identifiable patient information. However, I understand that if I provide identifiable information about a situation regarding which my consultant has an ethical or legal obligation to report confidential information, s/he will inform me at the time and will give me the
opportunity to make the report myself.
I understand that if my consultant becomes aware that s/he knows or has a prior relationship with the presented client(s), or if she believes she has a potential conflict of interest in her relationship with me, she will notify me of that fact immediately and will cooperate in helping me find a different consultant.
I agree to the fee of $175 per 50-minute consultation session, payable at each meeting.
