Therapy Termination Letters

Any licensed therapist, psychologist, counselor, or other mental health professional terminating their therapeutic relationship with a client uses a therapy termination letter.

Therapy termination letters are used when a therapist wishes to formally end the therapeutic relationship. This could be because the therapy goals have been achieved due to client non-compliance or when the therapist believes the client would be better served by another professional.

The therapy termination letter is used to formally communicate the termination of the therapeutic relationship to the client. It provides reasons for the termination, offers further recommendations (if any), and ends with a professional conclusion. It is a formal document that is usually printed and mailed but can also be emailed to the client.
