I don't know if this makes sense.
First week canceled. Never scheduled the next week's appointment so it's not a cancellation technically. What's going to happen after that if you just don't make anymore appointments, but at some point in the future decide you do want to return to therapy with that therapist?
Random question just curious about. I am working on my stuff and going to show up weekly so don't accuse me of being a shytty client looking for attention, trying to manipulate the T, or not dedicated to recovery or any other BS thing that can be said.
Also, how come if a client cancels two weeks in a row they terminate, but if a therapist cancels three weeks in a row and starts the next session 25 minutes late (out of a 45 min session), that's ok?

here where I am treatment providers dont have time for chasing down someone and giving them a time frame of when they must reschedule.
its just part of the rights and responsibilities that anyone over 18 is to be treated according to the laws .... like competent responsible adults capable of making their own decisions and as such a person can choose to reschedule or not.
and not rescheduling is considered to be you do not want any further appointments. file is closed until which time the person contacts the mental health agency to schedule a new intake appointment.
sometimes they are able to get the same treatment provider sometimes not depending upon whether other people are on a waiting list for a treatment provider.
my suggestion since you have two treatment providers, contact them to let them know whether or not you want to continue with treatment. and if so when you would like to schedule your next appointment.
this way they know whether to put your name in the time slot schedule available to you or give your time slot to someone else on the waiting list.
