No-Show
No-Show Policy
A no-show is defined as failing to attend a scheduled session without prior, timely notice, regardless of whether the therapist sends a courtesy check-in, as it disrupts the schedule and limits our ability to serve other clients.Late Arrival
If you are running late, text your therapist as soon as possible. There is a 10-minute grace period for late arrivals. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, the session will be marked as a no-show, and the no-show fee will apply.
Cancellation Window
To avoid a late cancellation fee, please provide at least 24 hours notice before your scheduled appointment time.
This policy ensures that your therapist can reserve time specifically for you and maintain availability for all clients.
