TERMS & CONDITIONS:

Personal consultation* by phone or video call can be a convenient alternative to clinical therapy. Ideal both for survivors and others needing personal advice, insight, or support from a trained and experienced Christian therapist, who can serve as a confidential** source of reliable counsel. This is uniquely suited for those who are looking for a confidential means of obtaining sound and insightful  help from a uniquely gifted and experienced Christian clinician, but are not looking to enter into actual professional clinical psychotherapy. 

​

*Please note that the personal consultation offered through Survivor Support is neither intended to serve as professional clinical therapy, to serves as a substitute for professional clinical therapy, nor should it in any way be misconstrued as establishing any kind of a clinical therapeutic relationship with a licensed mental health professional. Personal consulting is similar to personal life coaching, which enables the client to discuss a wide range of issues which he/she feels are important to their personal growth, or their current life challenges. Clients who choose personal consulting often do so for the very reason that they do not want to undergo an actual clinical assessment and evaluation, leading to an actual mental health diagnosis from the DSM 5, from which a clinical treatment plan is derived, in keeping with treating their diagnosed mental disorder or mental illness, which then is noted subsequently in their personal health history and medical records. Though Jon K. Uhler, LPC does provide weekly clinical therapy within the states he carries an active professional license, his services via this website are not intended to serve in a clinical capacity, and should not be misconstrued as such, and those entering into to personal consulting relationship with him are indicating that they neither want clinical treatment, nor desire to enter into a clinical therapy relationship. Unlike with clinical treatment, in personal consulting, no diagnosis will be given, no treatment plan developed, and no progress notes taken, which, for many people, is the reason they prefer personal consulting, as they are not interested in being assessed, diagnosed, and treated for  a mental disorder. Thus, the consulting relationship is considered non-clinical, and does not provide an assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for any clinical mental health conditions or disorders, would not be eligible for insurance reimbursement, nor is it likely to meet the criteria necessary to qualify for use for a Health Savings Account. As no professional clinical treatment services are provided within personal consulting, no clinical documentation will be kept or provided, as person consulting is a non-clinical practice.

 

** Normal and customary limits of confidentiality would apply, with the exceptions of potential or actual harm to self or others. There is no therapist/client confidence implied with respect to legal matters. And, legally mandated reporting rules and guidelines still apply with respect to the disclosure of suspected or actual abuse or endangerment of children or elders.
