LATE APPOINTMENTS. 12.15.1 Where a fall/winter position arises as a result of a CUPE 3903 employee resigning a position, declining or rejecting an offer, or failing to respond to an offer by or after August 1, a new Notice of Recommended Appointment shall be issued recommending the individual who was the next most senior, qualified applicant for the position. The hiring unit shall automatically deem that the recommendation has been queried and will supply the union office and the Department of Faculty Relations each with the non- confidential information used to select the recommended candidate. If no grievance has been received within eighteen days of the date of issue of the Notice of Recommended Appointment, an offer of appointment will be sent. If a grievance is filed, it will be referred directly to Step Three.
LATE APPOINTMENTS. All sessions begin at the scheduled time and last 45 minutes. If you arrive late, we will meet until 45 minutes after your scheduled session time. Please note that multiple missed/cancelled appointments and late arrivals may require us to discontinue treatment. In this circumstance, I will discuss with you in person or by phone how we should proceed.
LATE APPOINTMENTS. The psychologist will make an effort to be available at or close to the appointment time. However, due to the nature of psychotherapy, it may be necessary for the psychologist to run late to attend to a crisis or unexpected event. In this case, she will make up the time to the patient by staying late or making up time at a later date. If a patient is running late, the patient will be seen until the end of their scheduled time. When running late, you may check the therapist’s office to see if her door is open and she is ready to receive you. If her door is closed, then be seated in the waiting area and she will be out to greet you as soon as she is available. Full sessions run 45-60 minutes, while half sessions run 20-30 minutes. 2020 Fee Schedule $250 Initial Evaluation Session (First Session) $155 Individual Therapy 45 Minute Session $185 Individual Therapy 60 Minute Session $125 Individual Therapy Half Session $155 Couples/Marital Therapy 45 Minute Session $185 Couples/Marital Therapy 60 Minute Session $155 Family Therapy 45 Minute Session $185 Family Therapy 60 Minute Session $125 Couple/Marital/Family Session Half Session $225 Psychological Evaluation/Testing (per hour) $350 Forensic Work (per hour) $0.50 Per Page Fee for records The psychologist will take phone calls at no fee as a courtesy to patients.

BILLING AND PAYMENTS You will be expected to pay for each session at the time it is held, unless we agree otherwise or unless you have insurance coverage that requires another arrangement. If your account has not been paid for more than 60 days and arrangements for payment have not been agreed upon, I have the option of using legal means to secure the payment. This may involve hiring a collection agency or going through small claims court which will require me to disclose otherwise confidential information. In most collection situations, the only information I release regarding a patient’s treatment is his/her name, the nature of services provided, and the amount due. If such legal action is necessary, its costs will be included in the claim. INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENT In order for us to set realistic treatment goals and priorities, it is important to evaluate what resources you have available to pay for your treatment.
