RE Proposed Amendment to Professional Service Agreement
To Whom It May Concern::
In light of the curent situation with the Covid- l9 virus, ancl the closure of schools, restaurants,
banks, and other public spaces in order to implernent social distancing for the safety of ourselves
atrd others, I am proposing to work with tlre client I. an: providing SSOOA seri,'icesto via video
conferencing. It is neither proper nor ethical, in my view, to charye filll rate for this method of
providing fieatment. Therefore I would like to propose a recluced rate ofjust over onehalf the
usual payment rate of $85 per: 50 nrinute session, to $45. I plan to keep tiack of how long the
video conferencing is able to be productive, with sustained attention between myself anJthe
client. If it appears that attention is flagging, we will only meet fbr 30 minutes. i propos. $27 for
a half an hour session.
Please let nre know if that will be acceptable to the County's Juvenile Court Services. I hope to
begin by the end of this week, or next week at the latest.
Respectful ly submitted,
