This guide explains how to reschedule or cancel a scheduled session. Be sure to provide at least 24-48 hours' notice to minimize disruptions for your clients and maintain reliable care.
In the case of a personal emergency, a therapist's best option to quickly and efficiently inform clients of a cancelation is to cancel each session and fill in a short note to apologize for the cancelation. Please see the Canceling a Session Portion for specific steps.
