I've been working with my current therapist consistently since February. I have enjoyed our time working together. He's helped me through unemployment, a concurrent breakup, and several transitions this year. However, he has cancelled on me four times at the last minute within the last two months. Two of the times were for tech issues. The third time there was a scheduling mixup with someone with my same initials. For that call, he actually no showed and didn't realize the error until hours later. He texted me to apologize and to reschedule.
Today, he canceled 15 minutes before the call because he said he was at an "offsite meeting and wouldn't make it back into the office in time for our session." To be clear - it's also very tough for me to schedule therapy because of my work schedule so it's always a pain to reschedule. I often have to leave the office early and rush home to have my sessions with him.
Now, I've had several therapists over the years but I've never experienced cancellations to this degree, if at all.
His own cancellation policy is that clients would incur a fee if they cancel within 72 hours of an appointment. It's not my responsibility to protect his feelings here but I think I might need to start searching for someone else. How should I move forward?
