Ending Therapy. Ending therapy may occur at any time and be indicated by either the client or the therapist. If you are unhappy with therapy, please share your concerns and perhaps changes can be made to make therapy more helpful to you. Generally, therapy ends when you have accomplished the goals you established at the beginning of therapy. If you stop attending sessions, I generally do not call out of respect for your choice. Do not interpret not receiving a call as me not caring about you. If you decide at a later date that you are ready to become involved in therapy again, please feel free to call and ask to resume therapy. I understand that sometimes it is just not the right time to devote the energy necessary for successful therapy.

Ending Therapy. In most instances clients and therapists agree on when to end therapy (ideally when both agree that the goals of therapy have been reached). As a client, you always have the right to end therapy, if you believe it is not helping you. However, we would encourage you to discuss your concerns with your therapist rather than just ending therapy. It is also important for you to understand that your therapist has the right to end your therapy if your therapist determines that you are not deriving any benefit from therapy, are using therapy inappropriately (e.g., to meet a court requirement, avoid termination from work, or the like), or have behaved in ways that your therapist believes prevent therapy from benefiting you (repeatedly miss or cancel appointments, fail to pay your portion of the cost of therapy services, attend sessions when intoxicated, or do not follow therapist recommendations). In these instances your therapist will discuss his/her concerns with you, and if these concerns cannot be resolved, your therapist will end your therapy and direct you to appropriate alternative services. Once you have ended therapy at the Centers for Family Change it is important that you recognize that the Centers for Family Change no longer assumes any responsibility for you, and your needs for therapy services. We can only be responsible for those individuals who are in active treatment with a Centers for Family Change therapist.
Ending Therapy. Ideally, therapy ends when there is mutual agreement between you and your therapist. Yet, ending therapy ultimately is your choice and you may end therapy at any time. When therapy has met your goals or if you would like to take a break, it is helpful to communicate these kinds of things to your therapist. If you choose not to return and do not schedule further appointments, your therapist will officially discharge your file. Your case will be discharged if you do not make an appointment for 4 consecutive weeks unless you communicate with your therapist. This will end your professional relationship with your therapist. You are welcome to return if you have future needs. Your therapist will be happy to reopen your file. I understand that my case will be closed if I make no appointments for 4 consecutive weeks and the lapse is not due to an agreement with my therapist. My professional relationship with my therapist will end until I choose to reschedule. Initial _
Ending Therapy. 9.1 A plan for therapy should be in place which considers the length of the therapy agreement and when this might be brought to a planned ending. This can be subject to ongoing review.
Ending Therapy. It is always preferable that therapy be ended by having a final session in order to review and evaluate the sessions and assess overall progress. Clients who have not had a session in over 30 days without pre-agreement with me will be considered inactive and treatment will be considered terminated. Please be assured that any client wishing to return to active therapy can do so simply by contacting me; arrangements may be made to resume the therapeutic relationship. Consent to Therapy Your signature below indicates that you have read this Agreement and agree to its terms.
Ending Therapy. Termination of therapy is just as important to the therapeutic process as is the beginning. It is a good idea to plan for your termination in collaboration with your therapist. Your therapist will discuss a plan for termination with you as you approach the completion of your treatment goals. Upon either party’s decision to terminate therapy, your therapist will generally recommend that the client participate in at least one, or possibly more, termination sessions. These sessions are intended to facilitate a smooth transition and a positive termination experience, giving both parties an opportunity to reflect on the work that has been done.

Ending Therapy. If possible, a minimum of two weeks’ notice should be given to end the work. The aim is to provide a period of time to resolve any unfinished issues and end the sessions safely. If for some reason you are unable to attend further sessions, I ask that you contact me to communicate this so that we have a shared understanding about the ending.
Ending Therapy. Some clients benefit most from a brief involvement in therapy whereas others will find an extended length of time more valuable. I am committed to working with you as long as the therapeutic process is productive and healthy. The process of ending therapy may be equally as significant as the work you accomplish during the course of your therapy. The ending of therapy is most impactful when it evolves from a partnership between client and therapist. I am available at any time during the therapy process to discuss concerns you may have regarding the ending of your therapy. It is most productive if you can address the ending of your therapy over the course of several closure sessions.
Ending Therapy. As therapy is a professional therapeutic relationship it will end at some point. You are welcome to have as few or as many sessions as you feel you need and to end therapy at any point that feels right for you. However, if I feel I am no longer able to provide the professional support you need or if I feel that continuing with therapy is not ethical, I will talk to you about my concerns and may suggest a referral to another professional.
