What is your fee for an individual session?

Accepted Answer

$200 plus HST for a 50 minute session. Contact me for more information about group fees and consulting work.

Question 2

Are your individual psychotherapy services covered by OHIP or Insurance?

Accepted Answer

Psychotherapy services are not yet covered by OHIP.  However, most insurance companies now cover psychotherapy.  I am a registered psychotherapist with the College of Psychotherapists of Ontario (#003623), so check your benefit package to see if my services are covered or partially covered. Therapy sessions can also be claimed as a medical expense for tax deduction.

Yes. I offer a free 20 minute consult in person, on the phone or by video chat.

When is payment due?

Accepted Answer

Payment is due before each session begins. I accept e-transfer, cheque, credit card or cash.  A receipt is given directly after each session.

Question 5

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

I need 24 hours in advance before your session begins or I charge for the missed session.

Question 6

Are there any forms for me to sign before I begin therapy?

Accepted Answer

Every client I see has to read and sign the “client informed consent form.”  I will send it to you by email and ask you to sign and return it. This form tells you of your rights and responsibilities as a client.

Question 8

How many sessions do clients usually have?

Accepted Answer

That depends on a lot of factors such as symptoms, scheduling, finances etc. I offer both long term and short term work.

Do you offer a discount on therapy?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I have 3 spots available at a discounted rate.  Please speak with me if you are in need of a subsidy.

Question 10

Do you have a waiting list?

Accepted Answer

Usually. Once you have a 20 minute consult and we determine that we are a good fit, I put you on a waiting list if there are no spots available and let you know when one becomes available. I also provide referrals to other therapists if you need to see someone immediately.
