Client Intake Form

Please provide names and the best possible phone number(s) and email. Be sure to notify us immediately of any changes.

Please list anyone who may bring your child to therapy.

In an attempt to provide the best service possible, any schedule changes need to be discussed at the end of the session and/or with the front desk administrator. We understand occasional changes may be necessary due to illness, vacations, etc. All cancellations must be made 24 hours in advance. Cancellations for Sunday or Monday need to be made on the Friday preceding that. We often have patients waiting to be accommodated into cancellation slots, so timely notice is of essence.

If a therapy session is not canceled in a timely fashioned as outlined above, or if a session is missed with no notice at all, The Therapy Place will charge you a $50 no-show fee. Please note that insurances do not reimburse for no-show sessions; it is solely the responsibility of the parent or guardian.

Two consecutive no-shows will cause your child’s slot to be put on hold until the matter is resolved. If the issue is not resolved within five business days, your child will forfeit his preferred slot.

Weekends and late afternoon appointments are prime slots. If you miss two such slots (even with proper notice), we reserve the right to give away the slot.

Please complete the enclosed Credit Card Authorization Form for us to have on file. Your credit card will only be charged in the event that your child misses his/her session and we have not received 24-hour notice.
