I'm talking about, say, a person's session is every Tuesday at 2 p.m. The client pays for that slot no matter what, even if they tell the therapist a month before that they'll be out of town or otherwise unavailable. Or if there was an emergency the day of session. I couldn't work with that.


I agree with there being a no-show or last-minute cancellation policy. Though my past and current therapists have been flexible, not charging if it was a sudden illness or family emergency (though I'm generally reliable--if a client did that once a month, I could see charging after a bit).
