Hello and thank you for being here!
Before you begin filling out the required forms in your client portal, there are a few key things we’d like you to know:
Our practice serves and fully supports marginalized communities, including trans, nonbinary, queer, non-monogamous, BIPOC, undocumented, disabled, and other historically oppressed individuals.
Your records are confidential and will never be shared without your explicit consent, except in rare cases where disclosure is required by law, such as imminent danger to self or others, court orders, or mandated reporting obligations. We do not cooperate with ICE or any other agencies that seek to harm our clients. Additionally, you are not required to disclose anything in writing that could put you at risk - this includes gender identity, immigration status, legal concerns, or other sensitive information. If you feel hesitant to share something in your forms due to safety concerns, please skip the question and move on. You are always welcome to discuss it privately with your clinician instead.
Paperwork: Please Read & Complete Thoroughly
Before your appointment, you are required to review and complete all intake forms in your client portal. These forms are legally required, and your intake session cannot take place unless they are submitted at least 48 hours before your scheduled appointment.
These forms are important for your care, and we encourage you to set aside time to complete them thoughtfully. If you have any questions while filling them out, your clinician will be happy to address them in your first session together. If you are having a difficult time completing your forms for any reason, please reach out to our Intake Department at scheduling@openspaceccw.com and we'll help.
For office locations and telehealth details, please refer to the PDF you received in your appointment confirmation email or visit our website at openspaceccw.com.
We are grateful to be part of your journey and look forward to supporting you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Chelsea MacDonald
