Free Art Therapist
Service Agreement
One lawsuit from a client claiming emotional distress will gut your bank account before the paint even dries. If you aren't charging for ruined supplies and late cancellations, you're just a volunteer with an expensive hobby.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a 'Material Reimbursement Clause' so you aren't footing the bill when a client destroys high-end canvases or wastes professional-grade pigments.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Art Therapist, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do if a client ruins my expensive tools or trashes the studio space?
You bill them for every cent of damage by using a pre-signed 'Damage and Loss' clause; a written agreement turns an awkward confrontation into a standard business invoice.
How do I stop sessions from bleeding into my personal time?
Establish a 'Hard Stop' policy in your contract with a clearly defined 'Late Exit Fee' so the client respects the clock as much as the craft.
How can I guarantee I get paid even if the client skips the session at the last minute?
Require a 'Non-Refundable Deposit' or a '24-Hour Cancellation Penalty' in your terms; having their signature on that policy ensures you get your day's wages whether they show up or not.
