PSYCHOTHERAPY MEETINGS AND CANCELLATION POLICY Most psychotherapy sessions last approximately 45-55 minutes and are held once a week, unless we agree upon a different schedule. Once an appointment hour is scheduled it is reserved especially for you and you are responsible for the fee for that hour. Unless you provide 24 hours advance notice of cancellation you will be expected to pay for it. Please note, insurance companies do not provide reimbursement for cancelled sessions. You will, therefore, be held responsible for the full fee for that hour – not just your copay. If it is possible, I will try to find another time to reschedule the appointment within my limited work week. If no alternative time is available during that week, you are responsible for the cancelled appointment.

Although I am usually seeing clients between 9am and 8pm on Tuesdays and 9am and 3pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays, I will not answer my phone if I am with a patient or in a meeting. I reserve Mondays and Fridays for other professional activities. During the academic year, my schedule may also change to accommodate the schedule for any courses I may be teaching. When I am unavailable, my telephone may be answered by my office assistant, who has been trained in all manners of confidentiality as it relates to a therapy practice, or by an answering system that I monitor frequently every day during the work week. I will make every effort to return your call on the same day you make it, with the exception of weekends and holidays. If you are difficult to reach, please inform me of some good times to reach you and any alternative phone numbers where you will be available. If you need to contact me between sessions, the best way to do so is by phone. Direct email at xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx is second best for quick, administrative issues such as changing appointment times. Please do not email me content related to your therapy sessions, as this email is not encrypted and, therefore, not completely secure or confidential. If you choose to communicate with me by email, be aware that all emails are retained in the logs of your and my internet service providers.
