Some people choose to stay in therapy for a longer time. In these cases, both the therapist and client agree that it's beneficial to continue meeting for additional skill building or support.

Our cancellation policy requires a 24-hour notice for rescheduling or canceling a session. If a session is canceled less than 24 hours in advance, the full rate of the session will be charged.
This policy helps our intern maintain an effective schedule and ensures that she can offer open spots to other clients who may need them. If something urgent arises, please reach out to discuss, and we can address it on a case-by-case basis.
