Policies and Information

24 hours notice is required to make changes to your appointment otherwise you will be charged the full session fee.

We can accommodate reschedules for the same week so you can use your charged appointment however this would depend entirely on your therapist’s availability and is not guaranteed.

Missed appointments (no shows) will be charged the full session fee.

Insurance companies do not reimburse for late or missed appointments. Cancellation fees for clients using insurance are the cost of session and not the copayment amount.

Some EAPs offer coverage, please check with them about their policies.

​Any other services: forms, documentation, clinical letters, record preparation etc. will be assessed a fee depending on what is required (charges range between $25 to $100).

Additional time requested are pro-rated at therapist's hourly rate.

An active credit card is required on file to process any balances on your account. Payments are due at the time of session. We have the right to cancel future sessions to avoid accruing debt in the event you are unable to clear a balance and we have not come to an agreement for repayment.

Under this law, you have the right to an estimate of expected charges prior to starting therapy. You can request a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service or at any time during treatment.

Under the law, if you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate when received.

Text message and email communication is not secure nor compliant with HIPAA law, therefore it is not a medium we use to communicate with our clients.
