Appointment Types
Client Commitments
Payment
All assessment fees must be paid up front before the first session, and all therapy fees paid before each session. If you have received confirmation for a fee reduction or a payment plan by Meltzer Center staff, payment must be made as indicated by Meltzer communication.
Failure to pay your balance within the appropriate timeline will result in immediate termination.
Questionnaires
Be prepared to complete any questionnaires or measures requested by your clinician. It is important for us to track your progress and the quality of the therapeutic relationship and so we ask clients to complete brief measures weekly before their sessions through an online system. All therapy clients are asked to complete these brief measures on a weekly basis before their session.
Availability
Therapy clients are expected to attend weekly sessions as agreed upon in the scheduling communication with the clinician. Assessment clients are expected to commit to a schedule that they and their clinician develop in initial outreach.
Cancellation
If you cannot attend a session, the center requires a cancellation notice (24 hours in advance for therapy sessions and 48 hours for assessment sessions). Please call 202-994-9072 or email [email protected] to cancel. Patients who miss a session without appropriate cancellation will be billed for the session. Clients are terminated after three consecutive missed sessions.
