Obtaining an informed consent form is necessary to ensure that you are aware of the treatment being offered. Since each individual reacts differently to therapy, it is not possible to predict all risks & reactions.

By submitting this informed consent form I understand that the treatments being provided to me may include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
• Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy
• Motivational Therapy
• Relationship Therapy
• Couples Therapy
• Sex Therapy
• Work-Related Therapy

And I hereby request & consent to the performance of the above treatments on me. All therapy sessions are conducted online.

I also understand that a session lasts 60 to 90 min & follow-up sessions will be recommended after the first initial visit. For effective recovery it is advised to have 6-9 sessions, depending on client need, presenting concerns and recommended treatment plan. Working on yourself (or your relationship) outside the therapy space, doing the homework and going through any suggested readings, doing your own reflections, utilizing worksheets and resources provided by the therapist are also important and recommended to get the full benefit out of psychotherapy.

I am aware of the information outlined above & have discussed any concerns I may have regarding my therapy. I do not expect the therapist to be able to anticipate & explain all possible risks & complications of treatment, & I wish to rely on the therapist to exercise judgement during the course of treatment which they think at the time, based upon the facts then known is in my best interest. I understand results are not guaranteed.

I am consenting to the treatments offered by Dr. Catherine Holden and I have been informed about the risks, benefits & have had an opportunity to ask questions. Dr. Catherine Holden may also recommend other specialists that I can work with to receive holistic care and treatment.
