Which document outlines a therapist's qualifications and therapeutic methods?

The informed consent form is the document that outlines a therapist's qualifications and therapeutic methods. This form serves multiple purposes, primarily ensuring that clients are fully aware of the therapist's credentials, the treatment approach that will be used, and the nature of the therapeutic relationship. It typically includes information about the therapist’s education, relevant licenses or certifications, and their specific therapeutic modalities or techniques they plan to employ.

By providing this information, the informed consent form establishes transparency and helps clients make informed decisions about their treatment. It's an essential part of ethical practice in therapy, ensuring that clients understand who they are working with and what to expect from the therapeutic process.

In contrast, other options serve different purposes: the therapy intervention plan focuses on specific strategies to address the client's issues, the client's progress notes are used to document the client's development and responses during therapy sessions, and the fee agreement contract outlines the financial aspects of the therapeutic relationship. None of these documents convey the same information regarding therapist qualifications and methods as the informed consent form does.
