What is your cancellation policy?
I request 24-hours notice of cancellation for individuals and 48-hours notice for cancellation of couples as it takes longer to move around more people's schedules. Whenever possible, I will offer possible times to reschedule within the same week.
For couples, if one of you is sick or you don't have childcare, I am happy to meet with just one of you to keep the momentum of our work together.
While I understand that most folks have valid reasons for cancelling, in order to maintain my own solvency and energy for our work, I do charge $100 for a cancelled individual and $200 for a cancelled couple.
What types of payment do you accept?
I ask all clients to share a confidential credit card on file with me and permission to charge it for late cancellations. I also charge your card for any online sessions. While I require a MC, Visa, Discover Card or AmEx for late cancellations, I am happy to accept your debit, HSA (Health Savings Account) card or FSA (Flexible Savings Account) card for regular sessions.
If you are meeting with me in-person, I accept cash or check.
Payment is expected at the time of service as carrying account balances can muddy the quality of clinical work.
For how long do clients work with you?
I have narrowed my scope of practice to meet with folks who are either in acute clinical need or are looking to do a "chunk" or "piece" of work together. While this can take anywhere from a few weeks to years, the work I do is designed to empower you with the tools, skills and capacities you need to live your life without my help. While I initially suggest that 8-10 sessions gives me the best opportunity to get to know you and determine how I can best be helpful to you, you are welcome to work with me for shorter time periods as well.
