I'd say anything more than 5 minutes late, assuming she's in the office and finishing up with a prior patient, so you know that she's present, is unacceptable.
If she's not in the office and you had to wait outside or in a hallway, or some such thing, even five minutes is a problem.
The idea that she'll work with you on your issue with punctuality is strange, to say the least. I've never heard that being on time was a problem.
I'd say the therapist has some rather odd ideas. If she expects you to pay for the 'missed appointment", I hope you have no qualms about refusing.
