New Clients
First appointments can only be accepted when the digital Client Form is filled out (see next page).
Cancelation Policy
I understand that unanticipated events happen occasionally in everyone’s life. In my desire to be effective and fair to all clients, the following policies are honored:
- 24 hour advance notice is required when canceling an appointment. This allows the opportunity for someone else to schedule an appointment.
- If you are unable to give a 24 hours advance notice you will be considered a “no-show” and charged 50% the first time. The following times the full amount of your "missed" appointment will be charged.
Health problems
It is very important that you inform the therapist of any health problems or medications you are taking.
It's imperative that, before you begin your session, that the therapist asks general health questions.
