Tailor Each Form to Your Liking: Your Essentials Package contains several custom forms, as described above. Each form is designed in a compatible version of Microsoft Word format (.doc) so that you may edit them as you see appropriate, whether you are using a Mac or a PC. Every place in a document where you need to enter information particular to your practice (e.g., your name, location, fees, etc.) will be in a bright blue font to prompt you for this information.
Disclaimer & Copyright Agreement: By purchasing and downloading these forms, you understand and accept that the forms are intended to be used as examples or samples of ways in which the forms and information can be used. You understand and accept that you are ultimately responsible for your own version of the forms and for adapting the forms for your own use. Neither Dr. Becky Beaton, LLC nor The Knowledge Tree assumes any liability or responsibility for the use or misuse of the forms you download. All of Dr. Beaton-York's and The Knowledge Tree's forms are copyrighted. You understand and accept that unauthorized duplication or sharing of the forms you download or any information contained therein is strictly prohibited and illegal. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
Updates: On occasion, Dr. Beaton-York or Chris York, Esq. may decide that a form needs to be updated or an additional form is "essential" to practice therapy ethically and/or legally (e.g., in January 2022, forms related to the No Surprises Act became "essential"). If this is the case, new forms will be added and/or existing forms will be updated. New forms will say "New" and the date behind them. Revised forms will have a revision date behind the name of the existing form.
Please return occasionally to check for updates. We'll also send out an email to let you know, so be sure you're on our mailing list. We only send out an email once per week to avoid pestering you, and we really hope our newsletter is helpful to your practice. Unless there is something extremely labor-intensive that needs to be done, updates and new forms will be taken care of for you free of charge. We hope you find this service helpful. :-)
Your Instructor
Dr. Becky Beaton-York is the author of Practice Smart Forms, and they have all been vetted by more than one attorney. She is passionate about psychological ethics and helping therapists grow their practices grounded in ethics and integrity while also creating a personally and professionally fulfilling career. Dr. Beaton-York began creating these forms when she founded The Anxiety & Stress Management Institute, a very large outpatient facility in Atlanta, Georgia, which she clinically directed for 15 years. She realized quickly that managing therapists required creating documentation that was ethically and legally sound while also being as efficient as possible to ensure compliance. Her staff grew to love these forms, as well as thousands of other clinicians who rave about them in Georgia and around the country. Several hospitals and university counseling centers have also adopted them.
Dr. Beaton-York is a Licensed Psychologist and a Licensed Professional Counselor. She has been on the Georgia Psychological Association's (GPA) Ethics Committee since 2010 and Ethics Chair for eight of those years. Additionally, she was the Ethics Chair for the Licensed Professional Counselor's Association of Georgia (LPCA-GA) for two years and has taught numerous ethics workshops since 1999.
Related to her interest in ethics and documentation, Dr. Beaton-York has served as an ethics expert in malpractice lawsuits. Part of her role in these cases is to examine the clinician's documentation to determine if the therapist was practicing below the standard of care and/or committing any ethical violations. This experience has made Dr. Beaton-York extremely aware and diligent about designing these forms to help the therapist write them in such a way that they will hold up in court. Of course, there are no guarantees in court; however, this is a great place to start! We hope you find them to be helpful.
