FAQ

Can my child and I be seen by the same counselor but at different times?

Category:
Counseling

Colorado DORA recommends that family members be seen by separate counselors.  This is to prevent any bias in therapy from forming.  

However, LCSWs or LMFTs, are allowed to engage in such therapy with two different family members due to their unique training.

How do I consent to have my child seen by a counselor or nurse practitioner?

Use the Consent to Treat Minor form to consent to your minor's counseling session.

The Consent to Treat Minor Packet serves as a legal document that grants permission for the Overcomers Counseling provider to treat your child/minor. This form is necessary in situations of divorce, where both parents have 50/50 custody of the minor.  In situations like this, both parents are required to consent to treatment. This ensures that mental healthcare providers have the authorization to provide appropriate care for minors, while also protecting their rights and well-being.
