Forms to Complete

After scheduling your Counseling Initial Consultation, you will be asked to complete the following through the Lake Forest Student Health Portal:

Initial Consultation Form
CCAPS 62 Form
Recording Authroization Form
Telehealth Informed Consent Form
Consent for Treatment Form
Communication Preferences
HIPAA Privacy Authroization form

All these forms will be discussed during your first session, and you and your counselor will determine how to best meet your individual needs. Counseling assignments are made on the basis of the immediacy of need, service availability, and eligibility. When a student must be seen immediately, student's assignment to a counselor is given priority. If you have any questions about your counselor, please discuss them during your assessment session.
