Confidentiality & HIPAA Notice
Confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy at CalmQuest Counseling. Client information is protected under state and federal laws, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

- Records are required by court order or subpoena
- Disclosure is otherwise required by law
These limits are reviewed during the intake process to ensure clarity and understanding.
Secure Communication Notice
Your privacy and safety are important. While phone calls and text messages are convenient, they are not secure forms of communication.
Clients are cautioned in sending sensitive, confidential, or clinical information through these methods. These forms of communication should be used for scheduling or general questions.
Secure platforms will be used when clinical communication is required.
Informed Consent for Therapy
Therapy at CalmQuest Counseling is a collaborative process designed to support emotional well-being, personal growth, and meaningful change.
What Therapy Involves
Therapy may include discussion of emotions, thoughts, behaviors, relationships, and past or current experiences. While therapy can be beneficial, it may also involve uncomfortable emotions at times.
Client Rights
Clients have the right to:
- Ask questions about the therapy process
- Participate actively in treatment planning
- Decline or discontinue services at any time
- Receive respectful, ethical, and professional care
Responsibilities
Therapy is most effective when clients attend sessions consistently and engage openly. Progress varies based on individual goals, circumstances, and commitment.
Fees, Insurance & Financial Responsibility
CalmQuest Counseling strives to be transparent about fees and payment expectations.
Payment Options
Services may be provided through accepted insurance or self-pay, depending on availability and eligibility. Fees and accepted insurance will be provided upon inquiry.
Good Faith Estimates
Clients paying out-of-pocket are entitled to receive a Good Faith Estimate outlining expected costs, in accordance with federal law.

Requirements
Clients must:
- Be physically located in the state where services are legally provided
