Cancellation policy

We prioritize our clients by holding space for each person we see. When clients cancel an appointment, our clinicians offer that space to other clients who need an appointment that week. When clients cancel within 24-hours or do not show, other clients miss out on an opportunity to be seen.

If you do not cancel your scheduled therapy appointment and have not notified us at least 24 business hours in advance, you will be required to pay the full cost of the session.
