I, (client) hereby agree to participate in a behavioral health therapy session conducted outside of the standard office setting. I understand and acknowledge the following terms and conditions:
Location of Session:
The therapy session will take place in a mutually agreed upon outdoor location, which may include public parks, gardens, or other suitable outdoor environments. The specific location will be discussed and confirmed in advance.
Nature of Outdoor Setting:
I understand that conducting a therapy session outside may involve exposure to various environmental elements, including but not limited to weather conditions, insects, noise, and other potential distractions. I accept and assume any risks associated with conducting a session in an outdoor setting.
Confidentiality and Privacy:
The therapist will make every effort to ensure privacy and confidentiality during the session. However, it is important to acknowledge that the outdoor setting may not provide the same level of privacy as a traditional office environment. I agree to exercise discretion and speak openly only within the boundaries of my comfort and security.
Client's Responsibility for Comfort and Safety:
I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to choose a location that I feel comfortable in and to take appropriate measures to ensure my own safety during the session. I will inform the therapist immediately if I feel uncomfortable or unsafe during the session.
Alternate Arrangements:
In the event that conducting the session outdoors becomes impractical or infeasible, the therapist and I will discuss and agree upon an alternative location or method for conducting the session.
Cancellation Policy:
Serenity’s standard cancellation policy applies to outdoor therapy sessions. I will notify the therapist in advance if I need to cancel or reschedule the session.
