Privacy Policy
Reagan R. Glover, LMFT
CA License #53566
Welcome to my practice. This document contains important information about my professional services and policies.
Please read the entire document carefully and ask any questions you have regarding its contents.
Information About Me
Prior to beginning treatment, I will discuss my professional background and provide you with information regarding my experience, education, special interests, and professional orientation.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. My license number is 53566.
About the Therapy Process
It is my intention to provide services that will assist you in reaching your goals. We are partners in the therapeutic process. As partners, we will work together to develop a plan for your treatment. Based on the information you provide to me and the specifics of your situation, I will offer feedback and recommendations regarding your treatment and progress.
Over the course of therapy, I will attempt to evaluate whether the therapy provided is beneficial to you. While I hope our work together will be effective, the amount and length of treatment varies from patient to patient. I am unable to predict how long you will be in therapy or guarantee a specific outcome or result of our work together.
Therapy sessions are approximately 50 minutes each. Typically, sessions are scheduled once per week, at the same day and time each week. Consistent attendance contributes greatly to a successful outcome. I also offer couples therapy intensives upon request for 90 minutes each.
Fees and Insurance
The fee for service is $ 195 per individual therapy session.
The fee for service is $ 235 per conjoint (couple or family) session.
The fee for service is $470 per couples therapy intensive.
Fees are payable at the time that services are rendered. I accept payment in the form of cash, check, or credit/debit card. It is my goal to maximize your session time. Therefore, if you are paying for a session via a debit card, credit card, it is easiest if you complete the document with your credit card information provided prior to the first session.
I do not accept insurance. I am a private pay/cash pay business only. However, I am happy to provide you with a superbill (a.k.a. a receipt for services) which you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. Depending on the terms of your health coverage, your plan may or may not reimburse for out-of-network services.
Appointment Scheduling and Cancellation Policies
Sessions are typically scheduled to occur weekly on the same day at the same time, if possible. I may suggest a different amount or frequency of therapy depending on the nature and severity of your concerns. Your consistent attendance can greatly contribute to a successful therapy outcome. To cancel or reschedule an appointment, please notify me at least 48 hours in advance of your appointment. If you do not provide me with at least 24 hours’ notice of a cancellation, I will charge you the full fee for the missed session.
Your Right to Confidentiality
As a psychotherapy client you have a right to confidentiality with respect to information related to our work together. Accordingly, information shared between us will generally remain confidential.
Exceptions to Confidentiality
In certain, limited instances, the law requires me to disclose information pertaining to my work with you. For example, as a therapist I am required to report suspected child, elder, and dependent adult abuse. Please note that the legal definition of “child abuse” generally includes instances of “sexting” in which a person of any age captures, records, sends, receives, or possesses an image or video depicting a minor engaged in sexual or otherwise obscene conduct.
Similarly, in the event that I believe you present a serious and imminent danger to yourself, another person, or the public, I may be required to disclose information to emergency medical services, law enforcement, and/or another third party that can help to reduce or prevent that danger.
Confidentiality and Treatment of Minors
If a minor’s parent(s) or guardian(s) give consent for me to treat the minor, I typically provide the parent(s) or guardian(s) with general updates about the minor’s treatment. These updates may include the minor’s diagnosis, treatment plan, progress in therapy, session attendance, or similar information. However, I generally do not share specific details about the minor’s treatment or what the minor has shared with me during sessions unless: 1) the minor gives me permission to disclose such information and I believe the disclosure would be clinically appropriate; or 2) the minor is experiencing a crisis or other emergency circumstance that would authorize me to break confidentiality.
If the minor consents to their own treatment, the law generally prohibits me from communicating with their parent(s) or guardian(s) without written authorization from the minor unless the minor is experiencing a crisis or other emergency circumstance that would authorize me to break confidentiality.
Please feel free to reach out to me if you have questions about these policies or if you would like to discuss them further.
Confidentiality and Couples / Family Therapy
If you are participating in couples or family therapy, please be aware that, in most circumstances, the law prohibits me from disclosing confidential information and records regarding the unit of treatment’s services unless all identified patients provide written authorization to release the information.
No Secrets Policy
I would also like for my couples and family therapy patients to be aware that I utilize a “no-secrets” policy. This means, when I determine it is clinically appropriate or necessary to do so, I am able to disclose information I obtain from one member of the couple, or a participating member of the family therapy unit, (i.e. the “treatment unit”) with the other member(s) of the treatment unit. This policy also applies to information a member of the treatment unit shares with me outside of couples / family sessions (e.g. via email, text, etc.) and information I obtain during individual session(s) with a member of the treatment unit (should we agree to hold individual sessions in furtherance of your couples / treatment goals). I find that this policy facilitates effective communication with and between my couples and family therapy patients. It also helps me to avoid potential problems which may arise when a therapist is perceived to be “keeping secrets” from other members of the treatment unit.
Your Communication With Me
My Contact Information
Outside of our sessions together, my preferred methods of communication are as follows:
Voicemail: (831) 460-2550 x4. My calls are forwarded to my cell phone, so if I am able, I will answer.
Email: contactme@reagangloverlmft.com.
Nonurgent Communications
Please understand that I may be in session with other patients or addressing other matters when you attempt to reach me. If you send or leave me a message, I will respond as soon as I am available, but please be aware that I may respond to your communication up to 24 hours after receiving your message.
Urgent / Emergency Communications
If you are ever experiencing a medical or psychiatric emergency or if you are facing an emergency involving a threat to your safety or the safety of someone else, please call 911 to request emergency assistance. In the event of a mental health crisis, you may also call the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by dialing “988.”
Therapy Across State Lines
Unfortunately, I may not be able to treat you while you are physically outside of the state of California. My ability to do so depends on various factors, such as the laws of the jurisdiction you will be traveling to. If you know you will be traveling outside of the state, please provide me with as much advance notice as possible so I may have enough time to determine whether I will be able to provide treatment to you during that time.
If you are paying for therapy via health insurance, Medi-Cal, or another third-party payer, advance notice of your travel plans will also allow us to discuss whether your plan covers therapy across state lines and/or alternative payment options, if necessary and appropriate. Please be aware that not all plans cover therapy across state lines.
If I am unable to treat you while you are outside of California, we can discuss alternative care options and strategies as well as what you should do in the event of an emergency.
Termination of Therapy
The length of your treatment and the timing of the eventual termination of your treatment depend on your clinical needs, the specifics of your treatment plan, and the progress you make towards achieving your treatment goals. While I hope you will find our time together beneficial and meaningful, I cannot guarantee the specific outcome(s) or result(s) your treatment will yield.
You may discontinue therapy at any time. If one of us determines you are not benefiting from treatment, we can discuss treatment alternatives. These alternatives may include, among other possibilities, changes to your treatment plan, referrals to other therapists, and/or termination of treatment.
