I've had a range of experiences, and it seems to depend most on what kind of practice it it. Private practices tend to run by the clock; overburdened folks run behind.

What you do know is how chronic lateness by that amount of time does (or in this case, does not) work for you. I think you have every right to seek a more punctual therapist. And I don't think the therapist had any right to scold you about "no-shows," especially if you hadn't been given a set of rules about that. Expecting you to wait at least 30 minutes seems like the extreme edge of reasonable, and even then only if you've been told to expect a significant number of late starts.
