Question: The client was a 40-year-old female who had recently been convicted of several criminal offenses, including drug possession. The client was on supervised probation for her criminal offenses and, as part of her sentencing, was ordered by the court to undergo an evaluation and treatment for substance abuse.
The insured counselor was assigned to evaluate and treat the client. The counselor's plan of care included both individual and group therapy
sessions three times a week. The weekly fee for the counseling sessions was $50 and would be collected from the client at the end of her therapy each week. After approximately two months of treatment, the client advised the counselor that she was unable to afford payment for the counselor's services.
In addition, the counselor learned that the client has been involved in scamming elderly people out of money in order to pay for her drug habit. Should the counselor report this information to the court even though the counselor learned the information from a fellow counseling professional? Should the counselor discuss this matter with the client first before moving forward with the information?
The client asked if she could stop coming to counseling if the counselor could work it out with the court. The client also asked if she could stop coming to counseling and for the counselor to stop reporting her visits to the court.
The counselor determines that she will be required to testify in court on behalf of this client and her behavior. The counselor does not feel that she is prepared to testify in court. She does not have information on the ethical and legal responsibilities when testifying in court. In addition, the counselor does not have malpractice insurance. She has talked to her supervisor at the agency and the supervisor stated that the agency does not have the funds to support her need for legal fees for obtaining assistance in preparing for the court visit.
What should the counselor do since the client is mandated to report to counseling?
Can the counselor make an agreement with the client to discontinue counseling without informing the court?
Should the counselor inform the court and ask to have the client reassigned since she can not pay for the counseling services?
What should the counselor do to get prepared to testify in court?
