Grief and The Holidays
While the holidays may bring celebration and joy, they can also be a difficult time for others, especially those who are in the midst of grief.
Grief can be experienced with many kinds of profound loss (death of a loved one, death of a pet, loss of a job, loss of a relationship, moving, health diagnosis, etc).
Here are some tips on how to manage grief during the holidays.

FRIENDLY REMINDERS
Late Arrivals, Cancellations, No-Shows & Dismissals
While clients may cancel or reschedule an appointment at any time for any reason, we do charge a fee, which varies by appointment type, if you
cancel less than 48 business hours (excluding Fridays after 5pm ET and weekends) prior to your session OR
fail to show up to your appointment without cancellation notice.
We charge a fee because whenever a session is canceled without adequate notice, we are unable to fill this time slot by offering it to another current client, a client on the waitlist, or a client with a clinical emergency.
For more detail, please read our full Cancellation/No-Show Policy.
To cancel an appointment, please email us at appointments@
