Missed Appointment Policy – 24 hours
An integral part of the therapeutic process is making your well being a priority and attending all sessions as scheduled. It is your responsibility to ensure you know the date and time of your appointment. If you are unable to attend a session, it is important that you give the A.I.M. therapist at least 24 hrs. notice or you will be directly charged for the missed session. Such will be due before your next session. This courtesy allows A.I.M. to provide services to those on the waiting list for therapy and your co-operation in this regard is very much appreciated. If unforeseen circumstances interfere with your attendance within that 24 hr. period, please call your therapist letting her know your circumstances and such will be taken into consideration.
