Outcome Disclaimer
Statements, testimonials, and examples on this website were provided by satisfied clients in confidence and are not intended to represent or guarantee that anyone will achieve the same or similar results. Every effort has been made to accurately represent our products and services and their possible potential. Therapy is hard work and an individual’s and a couple’s therapeutic outcome depends on the client’s desire, dedication, effort and motivation. A couple’s outcome is also determined by both individual’s willingness and desire to be in the relationship. There is no guarantee you will duplicate any of the results stated in the Wellness Counseling Center website. Major contraindications for doing a full course of Emotionally Focused Therapy at Wellness Counseling Center include anything that would block safe engagement between partners, for example: an ongoing affair, addiction or violence in the relationship. In the event a Wellness Counseling Center therapist determines one or more of these contraindications is present they will be obligated to conduct a professional consultation and follow best practice protocol and make an appropriate referral.
Now and then we find that a client may attend sessions reluctantly or determine therapy is not for them. Sometimes clients learn things about their situation and decide they would prefer not to proceed with couples’ therapy. In such cases, clients get little or no favorable results from their sessions. Therefore, the client testimonials we are sharing can neither represent nor guarantee the current or future experience of other past, current or future Wellness Counseling Center clients. Research studies find that 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery and approximately 90% show significant improvements. Any and all forward-looking statements on our website, however, are intended to express our opinion of possible outcomes. Many factors will be important in determining your actual results and no guarantees are made that you will achieve similar results.

Wellness Counseling Center and its affiliated therapists and support staff are diligent about setting appointments that are convenient to the client and in alignment with best professional practice. When an appointment is scheduled, that time is reserved for the client. Wellness Counseling Center requires a full 48 hours notice for cancellations or reschedules of standard weekly sessions.. If you choose, for any reason not to attend said sessions or choose to reschedule an appointment without providing 48 hours. advance notice, your full fee will be charged unless this involves a life threatening emergency.
If you participate in a Wellness Initial Consultation (90 min.) and within 30 days of the appointment, you determine you are not satisfied with the information and experience provided, you will receive 100% of your money back.

Emotionally Focused Therapy is a relatively brief form of therapy for couples. The standard is 12-20 sessions; more if there is trauma or other presenting issues. At Wellness Counseling Center we have found 16 sessions to be optimal for most of our clients and we follow this protocol with the understanding that more or fewer sessions may be preferable for your situation. In the event you have paid for your weekly sessions in advance and you and your therapist determine a shorter course of treatment is appropriate, Wellness Counseling Center will make billing adjustments and/or you may request a refund for any unused sessions. Requests for refunds of any pre-paid weekly sessions must be submitted in writing within 30 days of the appointment of reference and processing time for refunds is 6 weeks from date of request.
