terms and conditions

Confidentiality

Confidentiality is the foundation of Counseling. Relentless Counseling adheres to this principle. Relentless Counseling ensures the confidentiality of your treatment and all information given by clients. All information recorded can be trusted to be solely used in maintaining effective therapeutic treatment.

All information disclosed within sessions and the written records pertaining to those sessions are confidential and may not be revealed to anyone without your written permission except where disclosure is required by law.


Anti-Discrimination Policy

Therapy is a safe space to be open and free from bias. Relentless Counseling puts that in its practice daily. Relentless Counseling is committed to honor and value the differences of everyone that is wanting and reaching out to better their lives. Relentless Counseling does not discriminate on the grounds of age, gender, gender identity, sexual preference or orientation, marital/partnership status, religion, race, color, national origin, disability, heritage or political belief.


Cancellation Policy

Relentless Counseling understands life happens and things become out of our control and adjustments have to be made. Since the scheduling of an appointment involves the reservation of time specifically for you, a minimum of 24 hours (1 days) notice is required for re-scheduling or canceling an appointment. Unless we reach a different agreement, the full fee will be charged for sessions missed without such notification. After 3 consecutive missed appointments, Relentless Counseling will terminate treatment services and the client is able to reestablish services when it is a better time.
