Scheduling

  • In order to provide fair and consistent services to clients, appointments are offered on a weekly or biweekly routine basis for most clients. For long-term and stable clients in maintenance therapy, monthly slots are available. Weekly or bi-weekly appointments are typically the most helpful to promote positive outcomes, and in order to establish the therapeutic relationship, I encourage weekly appointments for the first several sessions.

  • All clients are required to give 24 hours notification for cancellations, or are otherwise considered “late cancellations.” Barring emergencies, clients are responsible for a $85 fee for late cancellations. The full session fee will be charged for no shows. Insurance does not reimburse for any unattended sessions. . 

  • Fees are never charged if the clinician is unable to attend sessions.

Crisis Services

  • Clients are urged to update me about any crisis that has occurred, but be aware that I am not available after business hours.
