SCHEDULING

Your first appointment will be scheduled during our initial conversation and email communication. From there, sessions will be scheduled at the end of each appointment.

Please arrive on time to appointments. We recommend arriving 5 to 10 minutes early so you have a second to clear your mind and settle into our space before we begin our work.
‍
To receive the most benefits of counseling we recommend weekly appointments. The frequency of our appointments allows the work we do to be nurtured and attended to so that you feel most comfortable and individual sessions can be targeted. Especially at the beginning of our work together, more frequent appointments will help us cover the most ground and be productive. Of course there are certain scenarios or points along your treatment where frequency may be adjusted. As progress is made and need wanes we may begin to extend time between appointments. Increased periods of stress may require heightened attention.

Our goal is to give you the tools, perspective, and awareness you need to work through the areas of concern that have brought you to therapy. As you find balance through treatment, there will come a time where our service is no longer required.

Appointment times are conveniently provided on scheduled cards at the end of appointments. If you have trouble remembering an appointment feel free to email karen@clearcounselingstl.com.

RESCHEDULING

If you wish to reschedule or cancel an appointment please observe our 24 hour cancellation policy. Schedule changes should be emailed to karen@clearcounselingstl.com and will be confirmed once received. It is important to note that many clients schedule in a regular routine. Certain times outside of your usual appointment time may not be available.

LATE POLICY

Late appointments are not able to be given additional time. Appointments starting later than 15min will need to be rescheduled and will be treated as a late cancellation/no-show. *Please observe payment terms for late cancellation charges on the payments page.

Repeated tardiness, late reschedulings, and no shows will be reviewed and addressed. It is possible future service may be withheld if behavior cannot be corrected.
