Professional Care Built on Respect, Communication, and Collaboration

Clear expectations support a professional, ethical, and effective therapeutic relationship.

Appointments

Sessions are by appointment only. Most individual appointments are 50–60 minutes. Late arrivals may still need to end at the scheduled time.

Cancellations

Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice whenever possible. Late cancellations and missed appointments may be subject to a fee under the Financial Agreement.

Payment is due at the time of service unless other arrangements are made. Clients remain responsible for deductibles, copays, coinsurance, and non-covered services.
