I am thrilled to introduce a new solution to the dilemma of the Professional Will. TheraClosure provides a seamless, stress-free way for psychotherapists to fulfill their ethical obligations to plan for patient care and the security of confidential records in event of the therapist’s incapacitation or death.Having served as Practice Executor for colleagues facing tragedies, I learned the old-fashioned model of relying on a close colleague is not best practice and does not serve the therapist, colleagues, family, or patients well. Immediately following a sudden loss, it is emotionally wrenching for a colleague to turn attention to patients of the practice to inform them of the therapist’s death or incapacitation and to attend to their needs. They may lack experience in grief work, procurement of referrals, billing completion, and the practical aspects of closing a practice. In addition, this arrangement leaves the therapist’s family and estate at risk for legal or financial liabilities, and burdens them during their grief.Most therapists do not realize that this is primarily a clinical, not administrative, role. Bereaved patients need personalized notifications and assistance with transferring care. They will want to be updated on medical status or memorial plans. Patients may fall through the cracks if they are not provided with referrals to well-matched available therapists, and they may suffer traumatic loss.TheraClosure has modernized and professionalized this important component of providing ethical and responsible psychotherapy. We learn about the practice and together we create a tailored Professional Will. TheraClosure is named as Practice Executor. Compassionate clinicians with expertise in grief notification and practice closure are on retainer. In the event of an emergency, we step in with the sensitivity and dedication that we would show the closest of colleagues and friends. We use technology solutions to access electronic health records, and we immediately serve to notify, support, transition, and assist clients. Once they are cared for, we handle all aspects of the practice which need resolution, allowing loved ones to focus on grieving and taking care of one another, rather than worrying about the business.With consideration and foresight, psychotherapists can leave patients with as much support in place as possible, protecting against abandonment. You can also spare colleagues and family the burden of handling your practice affairs. TheraClosure “unburdens the psychotherapist by planning for the unexpected".
