* Only call your therapist in an emergency. * * It’s important to respect a therapists privacy and not bother them out of hours. Understand that your therapist may be busy with other patients and calling them could interrupt somebody else's treatment. Think before you call outside of a session, and do so only if you believe you may harm yourself. * Make sure to cancel appointments if sick * So long as you cancel with 24 hours notice you won’t cause significant trouble to a therapists schedule. However, within 24 hours you should only cancel unless genuinely sick with something that may infect others. In these cases, a therapist with usually waive any late cancellation fees. However, try not to make this a habit.
