Court Policy
Court appearances are billed at $250.00 per hour with a minimum charge of eight (8) hours, for a total of two thousand ($2000) dollars. Because the client-therapist relationship is built on trust with the foundation of that trust being confidentiality, it is often damaging to the therapeutic relationship for the therapist to be asked to present records to the court, testify whether factual or in an expert nature, in court or deposition. The therapist asks that clients only request a court appearance in extreme cases. Unfortunately, this will likely, result in the need to terminate therapy and refer you to another therapist. In such cases as the therapist is ordered to testify by the court about his/her counseling with you, the therapist will be monetarily compensated as set forth below.
In the event that it is necessary for the therapist to testify before any court, arbitrator, or other hearing officer to testify at a deposition, whether the testimony is factual or expert, or to present any or all records pertaining to the counseling relationship to a court official, the client agrees to pay the therapist for his or her services, including travel, preparation, and necessary expenditures (copies, parking, meals, and the like) @ the rate of $250.00 per hour, rounded to the nearest hour. The client further agrees to pay the $2,000.00 (8 hours x $250.00) two weeks prior to the appearance, presentation of records, or testimony requested.
