In this episode of The Mental Health Business Mentor, we explore how informed consent can be more than just a required form—it can be a powerful foundation for trust, safety, and connection. Our guest, Scott Stolarick, shares how private practices can approach informed consent in a way that truly supports client comfort, clarity, and empowerment from the very first interaction. We discuss practical strategies for turning what is often seen as a procedural step into a meaningful conversation that sets the tone for the therapeutic relationship. This episode invites clinicians to rethink how they introduce their work, build rapport early, and create a more transparent, client-centered experience from day one.

What You'll Learn:

• Why informed consent is more than a form—and how it can set the tone for the entire therapeutic relationship.
• How to present informed consent in a way that increases client comfort, clarity, and trust from the very beginning.
• Common mistakes clinicians make when approaching informed consent—and how to avoid them.
• Practical ways to turn informed consent into a collaborative, client-centered conversation.
