Mine is very rarely late, but it wouldn't bother me because she goes over a lot, plus I don't pay for therapy.
However, a long time ago (I think I was 19), I saw a therapist who was constantly late, 20+ minutes and I would have to wait in the hallway of the building. She would also do things like cancel sessions to volunteer in the library at her kids' school. Now I think about it, it was super unprofessional and I think that it can send a message that you don't matter. I have such strong abandonment fears that the problem with me was the constant fear she just wouldn't show up. |

Punctuality is important. My time on the other side of that appointment window is valuable time. I'd have no room to pick up my children in time, which could pose a huge problem for me as far as the schools and potentially child services.
So, no I wouldn't find regular tardiness acceptable, whatsoever. And wouldn't appreciate being billed for more minutes than what is being given. I'd speak up, then start shopping around. Is there someone that your T is held accountable to? That's always an option. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
