Answer
MindBerry has adapted the standard cancellation policy that is adopted by the vast majority of private-practice therapists. If a client cancels their session 48 hours before the appointment, they will receive a full refund or can reschedule free of charge. If a client cancels between 24 and 48 hours prior to the appointment, only 50% of the original session price will be refunded. If a client cancels with less than 24 hours to go before the appointment, they will receive no refund and will have to pay the same price again for a new session.
