Cancellation Policy
Since scheduling of an appointment involves the reservation of time specifically for you, a minimum of 24 hours’ notice is required for canceling an appointment. More time, is strongly preferred, so that someone else may use that appointment time. Unless we reach a different agreement, you will be charged the full hourly fee for sessions missed without 24 hours’ notification. Insurance companies do not reimburse for missed sessions. True emergencies may be treated with special agreement.
You may leave a voice message, text, or email 24 hours a day, seven days a week to cancel an appointment. Frequent cancellations may result in your losing your regular appointment time and having to schedule our meetings based on my availability each week. If you have the type of schedule that makes consistent weekly appointments impossible, I will do my best to accommodate your needs. In the event I need to cancel an appointment with you, I will attempt to notify you as soon as possible. I will also notify you of my planned absences in advance.
