Practice Policy & Informed Consent Template Pack

Essential Documentation for Private Practice Therapists

Running a therapy practice means wearing a lot of hats—clinician, business owner, and compliance officer. This downloadable template pack is designed to make the legal and administrative side of your practice easier, faster, and more professional.

Whether you’re just starting out or tightening up your documentation for audits, this bundle gives you everything you need to set clear expectations, protect your practice, and stay aligned with ethical and legal standards.

📝 Informed Consent for Psychotherapy Services
