Office Policies and Client Consent

If you need to cancel your session, please contact Jonathan at least 48 hours in advance to avoid being billed for the session. If you cancel your session with less than 48 hours' notice or miss your session without any notice, you are responsible for the full payment of the missed session as Jonathan has set aside that time for you.* However, he will do his best to accommodate you and reschedule your session within the same week to avoid being billed for the missed session, though this cannot be guaranteed. Cancellations can be made using text or VM. Please do not use email as I don’t check that as often.

* While I understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, I ask that clients be mindful of the impact that cancellations have on my availability and schedule. In cases of severe illness or emergency, I will consider rescheduling or waiving the cancellation fee. However, please note that repeated use of this policy may impact my ability to be flexible in the future.

Please inform Jonathan if you are going to be late for a session. If you have not arrived and he has not heard from you by approximately 5 minutes after the start of the session, he will contact you by phone or text. If you do not respond, he will wait until 15 minutes past the start of the session before considering it a missed session and you will be billed according to the Cancellation Policy. See above.

It’s common to occasionally skip appointments for various reasons. Nonetheless, when you decide to engage in ongoing sessions with me, you’re dedicating yourself to your overall wellness and agreeing to attend regular meetings with me at predetermined intervals. You are responsible for your participation and should be aware of the Cancellation Policy and Late Policy stated above. If you miss numerous sessions, I will likely ask why.  From time to time, especially if such occasions arise with frequency, I may initiate a conversation to determine if you feel that our work together is progressing to your expectations, or if your commitment to the work has changed. In rare instances, when a client misses many sessions, I may suggest that we end our meetings and that the client should consider looking for a new practitioner to work with.

Once again, I value your time and hope that you value mine! Missed appointments or appointments canceled on short notice do affect me and also prevent me from being able to serve others in need.

Ending treatment is best when done in a planned, mutually agreed-upon way. Stopping treatment without such an arrangement can undermine or “undo” progress that you’ve made in your sessions. You are welcome to return for sessions at any time in the future provided space in my practice is available.
