By Appointment Only

OFFICE HOURS

Please cancel or reschedule your counseling appointment by calling E. Carrington Family Enrichment Center at least 24 hours in advance.  This will allow E. Carrington Family Enrichment Center to schedule another client in your vacated time slot.  Canceling or rescheduling appointments less than 24 hours in advance will result in a NO SHOW FEE of $50.

CANCELLATIONS

Please be on time for your appointment.  All counseling appointments begin on the hour and end 10-15 minutes before the hour.  If you are late for your appointment, your counselor will not extend your session.  If you are more than 15 minutes late, you will be considered a NO SHOW and charged for your visit.  In the event the therapist is running behind schedule, all clients will receive their fully allotted session time.   E. Carrington Family Enrichment Center reserves the right to cancel scheduled appointments without notice due to clinical emergencies.  Every effort will be made to minimize such cancellations.

APPOINTMENTS

E. Carrington Family Enrichment Center charges a $25.00 fee for all phone consultations with any agency or other counselor (limited to 15-20 minutes).  If your concern or issue is not resolved during phone consultation, a scheduled appointment must be made. Our office will also charge a $50.00 fee for any official letters written or forms completed by your therapist on you or your family’s behalf.  Please give the office 48 hours advance notice for any written letter/form requests.

PHONE CONSULTATIONS & LETTERS/FORMS

If you have an emergency, please dial 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. All calls placed or messages left for staff therapists are returned within 24 hours of receipt of the message. Please contact our office at (703)789-0979 for any non-life threatening emergencies.
