Frequently Asked Questions
(continued)
Question: What are the credentials and counseling style or
approach for each Safe Harbor therapist?
A: In this website, you will find a link to a
description of each therapist. Please feel free to contact that
therapist if you have any further questions about him/her.
Question: What if I need to cancel my appointment or can't
make it to my session?
A: You can cancel up to 24 hours before your
appointment. Otherwise, there is a $25.00 fee. Please remember
that unlike physicians which can compensate for late cancelations or no
shows by overbooking patients, therapists cannot. Your session is
reserved specifically for you and if you don't show or cancel without
proper notice, that session is lost and thus wasted. The therapist
needs at least 24 hours advance notice so that he/she can have the
proper time to give that appointment to another patient.
Question: Besides individual therapy, what other forms of
therapy are provided at Safe Harbor?
A: Marital, couples and family therapy are
provided in addition to individual and group therapy. Consultation
and educational sessions are also provided to parents and family members
whose child or relative is presenting significant issues or conduct but
refuses to participate in mental health services.
Question: Can the therapists at Safe Harbor prescribe
medication?
A: No. If you are in need of a medication
consultation, a recommendation can be made to a psychiatrist or mental
health center that provides those services.
