UPDATED CONSULTATION CONTRACT

​

Although I am a licensed psychologist in the state of California and Arizona, the consultation services that I am providing you do not fall under my practice as a licensed psychologist. Therefore, I am not practicing in my role as a licensed psychologist with you nor am I practicing psychology as it is defined by law in the state of California.

​

I will not diagnose you nor will I treat psychological or medical disorders. I am offering you consultation in your self-development, support in your spiritual evolution, intuitive readings of your energy field, subtle energy work, and, if appropriate, mentoring in the practice of the healing arts. You are free to discontinue your work with me at any time. You are free to participate or not as you wish in any of the workshops I offer subject to my approval and any pre-requisites that may be necessary for attending.

All information disclosed within sessions is confidential and may not be revealed to anyone without written permission except where disclosure is required by law.  Disclosure may be required in the following circumstances: Where there is a reasonable suspicion of child abuse or elder adult physical abuse or dependent abuse; where there is a reasonable suspicion that the client presents a danger of violence to others or where the patient is likely to harm him or herself unless protective measures are taken.
 

Disclosure may also be required pursuant to a legal proceeding. Dr. Fields may occasionally find it helpful to consult about a case with other professionals. In these consultations, Dr. Fields makes every effort to avoid revealing the identity of the client. Unless you object, Dr. Fields will not tell you about these consultations unless she feels that it is important to your working relationship.
