Disclosures

At the Couples Counseling Center, we strive to make therapy available to the widest possible audience. To expand accessibility, the therapists are licensed in multiple states. Below, you will see the specific disclosure requirements for each state.

Counseling services are provided in accordance with the laws and regulations of the state in which the client is physically located at the time of service. For specific guidelines and regulations, please contact the board of the relevant state. Services are provided via secure telehealth platforms unless otherwise specified. All Couples Counseling Center therapists practice only within the scope permitted by each state license held by each therapist and do not provide services outside those legal boundaries.

Telehealth services involve the delivery of counseling services using secure, HIPAA-compliant video technology. Telehealth may involve certain risks, including interruptions due to technology failure or limits to emergency response. Clients are responsible for notifying their therapist of their location at the time of their sessions.
