OFFICE POLICY

Goals and Length of Therapy

Goals are developed by exploration of issues/concerns and collaboration. The length of therapy

depends upon goals mutually established. The frequency of sessions will be agreed upon and subject to modification throughout the course of treatment. It is important to keep scheduled appointments to receive maximum benefit.

Appointments, Fees, and Cancelations

I am currently providing in-person and telehealth sessions. Office hours are by appointment. Sessions are typically 50 minutes in length. Scheduled appointments cancelled within less than 24 hours will be billed. Given the importance of keeping you, your family and mine healthy, if you have symptoms or have recent exposure to transmissible illness, please cancel in-person sessions. Appointments cancelled within less than 24 hours for this reason will not be billed and may be provided by telehealth. If have I any concern about my health or exposure, I will offer telehealth, rescheduling or cancellation. It is my commitment to protect the physical and mental health of my clients. Hopefully, this will become less of a concern in the future so we can meet in-person or by telehealth based on what is best for you.
