Letters & Forms Requests
Information for Clients
At Mills Gosse Psychology, we understand that clients may need letters, forms, or documentation for a variety of purposes (e.g., school, workplace, insurance, or other third-party requests). To help us support you as efficiently as possible, please review the following guidelines.
Planning Ahead
If you anticipate needing documentation as part of your care, we strongly encourage you to let us know as early as possible, ideally at the start of services. Early communication helps us:
Determine whether your request is appropriate
Ensure we have enough time and information to complete it
Avoid delays or unmet expectations
Please note that late or unexpected requests may not always be possible to accommodate.
Established Care Requirement
In most cases, we cannot complete forms or letters for brand-new clients. Before providing documentation, your clinician must have a sufficient understanding of your history and current functioning. This typically requires:
A minimum of 3 or more sessions, and
Sometimes, additional sessions, depending on the complexity of the request
Providing Forms
If you require a form to be completed:
Please provide the form in advance for review
Forms must be submitted in a fillable electronic format
Non-fillable or handwritten forms may result in delays or may not be completed.
When Another Provider May Be More Appropriate
Some forms are specifically intended for physicians (medical doctors) and may not be appropriate for a psychologist to complete. In these cases, it may be more suitable to:
Contact your family physician or medical specialist
Your clinician can help guide you if you are unsure.
Fees for Documentation
Requests for letters, forms, or reports are completed outside of session time and are billed separately.
Our standard rate is $225/hour
Fees vary depending on the complexity and time required
In some cases, fees may be billed directly to a third party (when applicable)
Otherwise, clients are typically responsible for these costs
We are happy to provide an estimate where possible.
More In-Depth Requests
Some requests require more detailed clinical information, such as:
Diagnosis
Functional assessments
Disability or work-related opinions
Formal evaluations
In these cases, a comprehensive psychological assessment may be required. If this applies to your situation, your clinician will discuss appropriate next steps with you.
Final Note
Our goal is to provide accurate, thoughtful, and clinically appropriate documentation. Clear communication and adequate time in treatment allow us to do this effectively and in your best interest.
If you have questions about a request, we encourage you to speak with your clinician.
