When you schedule an appointment with our staff, New Hope Counseling Center reserves that time just for you. If you are not going to attend your scheduled appointment, we would like to give another client the opportunity to take that opening. It affects our funding, our ability to budget our staff, and staff salaries when there are missed appointments. That is why we require 24-hour advance notification of cancellation. Leaving a message on our voicemail is fine, even on weekends. The time you called will be posted with the message. If you fail to give 24-hour notice before cancelling your appointment or do not show for your appointment up to two times, your therapist has the right to refuse services or you may be asked to make your appointment two to three weeks from missed appointment date. We appreciate the courtesy you extend to us by honoring this agreement. Please note that we cannot bill your insurance company for missed sessions or for late cancellations.
Weather Related: Missed appointments due to dangerous weather will not count as a late cancellation.
