• If you are unable to attend your session, please give as much notice as possible of your cancellation.  Therapy occurs on the agreed upon dates and times listed above; this space is reserved for you. To make this possible and to maintain the consistency of your appointments for the duration of our work together, Art People reserves the right to charge the full fee cancellations made without 48 hours notice (not including weekends).  Two weeks notice is preferred for planned absences.

​​

• Art People LLC has a 15 minute grace period.  Please let your Art Therapist know if you will arrive late for your scheduled appointment.  A session is considered a no-call, no-show if the client has not arrived 15 minutes after their scheduled appointment time.  After 3 no-call, no-shows the Art Therapist reserves the right to terminate the client.

• Sessions canceled by the Art Therapist will not be charged for. If the Art Therapist has to miss a session, they will give you as much notice as possible. 

​

• Payment is due before the start of each session.  Advance payment is encouraged.  Art People accepts credit card, debit card, check, cash, and Venmo payments.  

• If a check for services is returned for insufficient funds or the account being closed, there will be a fee for the returned check. Payment in full plus the fee will be expected before scheduling another appointment.

​

• Periodically Art People may need to increase rates due to inflation and cost of living.  All clients will be informed of any change of rate with advance notice.

• Clients can decide to end their therapy at any time but need to inform the therapist of their intentions as soon as possible. A 4-week notice is recommended for the client and the therapist to come to a proper conclusion of the therapy.
