CANCELLATION POLICY & PROCEDURES: Cancellations within 5 days of your appointment must be made by phone or email, not through the online booking system. For appointments more than 5 days away, you can cancel online or by contacting Dr. Rukavina. No-shows or cancellations with less than 48 business hours’ notice will incur a late cancellation fee (full session fee). Cancellations must be made during business hours (Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., excluding holidays).

CANCELLING COUPLES THERAPY APPOINTMENTS: For group appointments (couples therapy), each partner is responsible for canceling their own appointment. When canceling online, select the option to cancel for the group and verify all participants are canceled. Clients can also call or email to cancel the group appointment. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure all partners are canceled to avoid the late cancellation fee.
