This can be discussed at any time with your practitioner if there is a crisis or situation that requires additional support. Generally, staff are available to return calls and provide brief contact between sessions. If you leave a message on the Thrive Centre’s voicemail (613-283-6094), a staff person will return your call to check in and provide information within 1 business day. If you are in crisis, please call 911, or access your local emergency room. Additional community services are listed in this website.

Demand for services are high. As a result, we ask all clients to provide 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule appointments. We appreciate that schedules change and emergencies come up. By cancelling your scheduled session with enough notice, we are often able to give the spot to another client. We will gladly work with you to accommodate the changes in your schedule. If you cancel with less than 24hours notice, and we are unable to reschedule your spot, you will be billed for 50% of the cost of your session. Please note extended health coverage does not cover the fee for missed appointments.
