If my therapist had to cancel or be really late because he was helping someone else out with an emergency, I'd be totally fine with it, because it probably means that if I were in a similar situation he'd help me out, too.

When you're in the helping professions, sometimes there are emergencies. I don't see any boundaries crossed here.
