FAQ

Building a safe environment and trusting relationship with me, so we can work together to improve your mental health and well-being. We work together to make positive changes in your mood, thinking, relationships, and behaviours.

Yes, I will protect your personal health information. Your personal health information will not be disclosed to others without your consent unless required by law (e.g., child protection, health professional sexual abuse, court order) or ethical/professional standards (e.g. risk of serious bodily harm).

The length of treatment varies for each individual, and it will depend on your goals and history. In the first couple of sessions, we will discuss what the treatment can look like. Research suggests that the majority of individuals will remain in therapy for approximately 12-20 sessions to achieve their goals. Some individuals who may need fewer sessions, especially if the therapy is for a specific shorter-term problem. Others who may require more sessions if they have multiple issues or wanting to understand and make changes to life-long patterns.

If you have extenuating circumstances and/or no insurance coverage then please inquire about my sliding scale options. There are limited spaces available.

It depends. Ethically, when you and your partner come to therapy together, the “client” is the two of you as a couple. It may interfere with the process to see partners individually from each other (ongoing). Your therapist may have one to two individual sessions with each of you throughout the therapy process if they feel it is necessary and will benefit the relationship work.

If this is you, don't worry! It is not uncommon for one partner to be uninterested in attending therapy. Perhaps they don’t think anything is wrong, or they don’t feel that they are contributing to any issues. More and more people are becoming open to the idea of counseling (especially because it is a more holistic approach to dealing with issues), but there still remains a stigma against it for many families, cultures, and individuals.

A helpful thing to try would be to have a gentle, non-defensive conversation with your partner, inviting them to be a part of the process with you. Don’t pressure them or give ultimatums.

If your partner refuses, then absolutely come alone. It is not uncommon for one person to begin therapy and the other to feel more willing to come when they see you making healthy changes. You can absolutely still experience growth and relief by working on your side of the situation. As we say: in relationships it always takes two, but change can always begin with one.

My rate is $185 for individual counselling and $235 for couples and family counselling.

It is important to verify with your employer whether or not you are covered for counselling by a social worker. Please find out how much of the cost they will cover and how many sessions you are covered for.

Please note that I require payment in full before every session. I will provide you with a receipt in order for you to receive reimbursement from your insurance provider. 

Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, it is possible for services to be covered in full or in part. Please contact your provider to verify how your plan compensates you for psychotherapy services.

I’d recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:

  1. Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
  2. Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
  3. Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
  4. Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?

If you decide to cancel or reschedule your appointments times, please provide me with 24 hours notice. I will charge for any missed appointments or appointments cancelled with less that 24 hours notice.
