Rules and guidelines for therapy.
1. Cancellation Policy - If you do not show up for your scheduled appointment, and you have not notified us at least 48 hours in advance, you will be required to pay the full cost of the session as booked on the day of the appointment. If there is bad weather I will send a notice in the morning if the office is closed.
2. if you schedule an appt. for a couples session please do not show up individually without your partner without the therapists confirmed agreement. Couples who show up alone for scheduled couples sessions and have not spoken with their therapist about changing the appt. to an individual session will be asked to pay for the full couples session and will need to reschedule.
3. If you need to change or cancel an appt. you need to call or text 404-620-0533 and leave a message. All messages will be returned Mon.- Thurs. by the end of the day. If you call Friday through Sunday calls will be returned the following Monday. Please, do not use e-mail for scheduling.
4. Payment: Cash, check and creditcard are accepted for payment.
5. All clients are asked to have a final termination session when therapy has come to an end. When you decide to end therapy please let me know that's happening so we can schedule appropriately. Healthy closure is one of the most important things we do in human relationship.
6. If you are having a medical emergency and cannot get in touch with me personally please call 911 or the Georgia Crisis Access Line 1-800-715-4225
