A legal guardian must be present for all minors as well as adults who have legal guardians. We are very sorry, but if the legal guardian is not present, your appointment will have to be rescheduled.

We are pleased to offer individual therapy services for ages seven and up. Please call our office to schedule an appointment.

No. For the safety and comfort of our patients, a responsible adult must be present within the building while the minor is attending their appointment. We understand that parents and guardians lead busy lives, and we appreciate your cooperation in making suitable arrangements to meet this requirement. This policy is in place to ensure the well-being of your child and to comply with legal and ethical standards.

For the first appointment, a parent or legal guardian must be present. Following the intial visit, you may designate another responsible adult to accompany your child.

We kindly request that you provide us with at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. This allows us to offer the appointment slot to another patient who may be in need of our services. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice or missed without prior notification will incur a cancellation fee of $50. We genuinely regret having to implement thi fee, but it helps us cover the costs associated with the time reserved specifically for your session and the resources allocated to ensure your care. We want to emphasize that this policy is not meant to be punitive but rather to ensure fairness and accessibility to all of our patients.
