While every counseling relationship is unique, your counselor is dedicated to providing a secure and empathic relationship in which to explore, understand, and, as far as possible, help resolve your difficulties and concerns. As a client at PPI, you have the right to:

1. Be treated with dignity and respect.
2. Participate in the planning of your counseling process and goals.
3. Understand clearly the nature and cost of the process.
4. Give informed consent to all aspects of the process.
5. Terminate your counseling at will.

In keeping with the quality-assurance requirements of PPI’s state-license, your counselor periodically will review the progress of your counseling with a PPI consulting psychiatrist. In addition, you may request a personal consultation with a PPI psychiatrist to discuss medical questions or concerns that might relate to your the counseling, or to consider the use of medication to help alleviate extreme feelings of depression or anxiety.
