Q: What is your cancellation policy?

A:  To ensure that each client is given the proper amount of time allotted for a session and to provide the highest quality care, it is very important arrive to their appointment on time or provide at least 24-hour notice if needing to cancel.  Late cancellations or No-show appointments will be charged $120.00 for each occurrence, unless there is a valid reason.  A credit, debit, or HSA/FSA card is required to be on file prior to the first session and throughout the client's time engaging in services. With the client's authorization, the card will be charged following each session.

Q: What if I'm not sure if I need this?
