What is the purpose of a consultation?

Consultations are a chance for you to tell me a bit about what is going on in your life, what is bringing you to therapy, and also ask any questions about me and my practice. Consultations are an opportunity for you to assess therapist fit (i.e., do you feel comfortable and like your needs will be met here?)

What can I expect from an initial session?

The first few sessions are typically a more structured clinical interview. During a first session, the majority of the time is spent understanding the main problems you are facing that have brought you to therapy as well as your goals. During the next session is typically when we go over elements of your background (e.g., mental health history, family, major life events and traumas, etc.).

There are a few ways in which we may continue from there — if you are primarily needing a place to unpack your experiences, therapy may initially take a more supportive role. If there are more specific goals you are hoping to work on, we may add more structure for you to target this.

What is the cost of a session?

A 50-minute session of individual psychotherapy is $200

A 50-minute session of couples therapy is $225

Sex therapy sessions follow the same fee structure. Whether you are seeking either individual or as a couple will determine the fee.

*please be in touch if you are wanting to seek services but are experiencing a financial barrier. I reserve a portion of my availability for those in financial need.

Do you offer in-person or virtual?

At this time, I am only offering virtual sessions, through secure video-conferencing.

What payment options are available?

Payments can be received via e transfer or processed via credit card through your client portal on Jane, which you can set up once you have booked your first appointment. Following a session, I will process on my end and send a receipt for your records and insurance purposes.

Do you accept insurance?

Once a session has been completed and payment received, a receipt will be sent to you, which will contain all necessary information for insurance claim submissions. I do not offer direct billing at this time.

Psychotherapy is not covered by OHIP, but often is covered by health insurance plans (e.g., student/employee healthcare plans). Please call your provider or check your plan to see if they cover services provided by a Registered Psychotherapist (RP).

What is your cancellation policy?

Please provide at least 48 hour’s notice of appointment change or cancellation. Cancellations made within 48 hours will incur a full session fee barring an emergency or prior arrangement.
