Policies & Consent

General Office Policies

Cancellations

I kindly ask that you provide at least 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. You may do this by calling me directly or by responding to your text reminder.

If a cancellation is made within 48 hours of your scheduled session, a cancellation fee will be charged. This policy is in place to protect time set aside specifically for you and to ensure availability for other clients in need.

If you'd like to set up or adjust your text reminders, feel free to reach out—I’ll be happy to help you with that!

Recurring appointments

To support consistency and progress in your therapeutic journey, I encourage clients to establish recurring appointments. These are typically scheduled in 2–3 month increments, allowing you to reserve a regular day and time—whether weekly, biweekly, or monthly.

Please note:
If you need to cancel more than 2–3 recurring sessions in a row, we may revisit your ongoing schedule. This helps ensure availability and supports your treatment consistency. Any adjustments to future appointments will be made collaboratively, with consideration of your needs and goals.

POLICIES FOR MINORS

Policies for Minors

Supporting Families with Compassion and Clarity

At my practice, I provide therapy services for children, tweens, and teens in a way that honors their developmental stage and unique needs. For clients under the age of 18, both parents or legal guardians must provide consent before we can begin services.

I recognize that every family is unique, and situations such as shared custody or limited involvement from one parent can sometimes create challenges. Please know I’m here to support you with compassion and flexibility as we navigate the intake process together.

What You’ll Need Before We Schedule

Photo IDs from both parents or legal guardians
Completed intake paperwork from both parents or guardians
Custody paperwork or divorce decree (if applicable)
Insurance card, front and back (if applicable)

Next Steps

Call to schedule your Parent Consultation and your child’s first session.
A Parent Consultation is required for all minor clients. This session is 45–50 minutes and billed as a standard session.
For in-person appointments, a parent or guardian must remain on-site during the session unless the child is 16 or older.

Need Help?

If you’re unsure about any part of the process, I’m happy to guide you through it. My goal is to ensure your child receives the support they need in a way that feels safe, welcoming, and clear for the entire family.
