Welcome to Life Space Therapy Services. I am delighted to share essential information about my holistic counseling practice and treatment approach. Kindly review this disclosure statement attentively, and please do not hesitate to ask any questions for clarification.

Introduction: 

I am a resident mental health counselor dedicated to promoting comprehensive well-being by addressing the interconnected facets of your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. My approach incorporates a blend of therapeutic techniques, mindfulness practices, natural remedies, and lifestyle adjustments to support your holistic path to healing.

Credentials and Licensing: 

I am not a medical doctor, but rather a resident mental health counselor working towards independent licensure. Currently, I hold a Resident in Counseling license in Virginia with the license number 0704013628. I am committed to upholding the ethical guidelines and practice standards established by the Virginia Board of Counseling and the American Counseling Association.

Approach to Counseling: 

My counseling methodology is holistic in nature, acknowledging that multiple dimensions of your life influence your well-being. I combine conventional therapeutic methods with complementary and alternative practices to formulate a personalized treatment plan that resonates with your individual requirements.

Confidentiality: 

Ensuring your privacy and confidentiality is of the utmost importance. Any information shared during our sessions will be held in strict confidence, unless you provide written consent to share details with others. Nevertheless, it's important to be aware that there are legal exceptions to confidentiality, particularly in situations where there is an imminent risk of harm to you or others.

Informed Consent: 

Prior to commencing therapy, we will engage in an informed consent dialogue. This conversation will encompass the nature of counseling, confidentiality parameters, potential benefits and risks associated with treatment, and your rights as a client. I encourage you to ask any questions that come up during this discussion.

Treatment Goals: 

Our collaborative efforts will revolve around your objectives and necessities. Together, we will devise a treatment plan that integrates diverse holistic techniques and approaches to foster your well-being and personal development.
