I have had quite a few times over the years where there was a upcoming event for my kids (sports banquet, awards ceremony, concert. Etc that would conflict with my T appointment. T is always very accommodating in scheduling me on her other office day...even if she has to stay beyond her normal office hours.

There have been a few times where I I have contacted her saying that I needed a break and wanted to cancel for that evening. She always told me I could do that and she would understand and support me, or I keep my appointment and we would keep it light and that way we could check in. We could keep make it short .
