Frequently Asked Questions

First sessions, especially for those who have not been in therapy before, can be daunting. In the first session, we will explore your strengths and challenges, collaboratively work on goals, and discuss what you’re hoping to get out of our time together. The first few sessions are for us to connect and establish the foundations of our work together.

During our 15-minute consultation, we will explore what brings you onto your therapy journey. We will also take the time to discuss what to expect from our first few sessions and how I practice as a therapist. 

I can also answer questions about the process of starting sessions with me.

Please note this does not include letter writing to insurances and other forms of communication.

I do not directly bill insurance companies but do offer receipts upon full payment of the session, which can be claimed. I recommend all new clients reach out to their insurance company and confirm if a Registered Psychotherapist is covered under their individual policies. Most policies are different for each person, so it is crucial that you confirm prior to our session if it is covered.

Group therapy may also be claimed to your insurance, as well. Please confirm with your individual policy if group sessions are covered under a Registered Psychotherapist.

I accept e-transfers, exact cash, or credit card payments. Upon payment, I do offer receipts. Please reach out if you have any questions about receipts.

Please note that payments are due within 48-hours of the session. Please reach out if this is a barrier.

As a psychotherapist in Ontario, I am no longer required to charge HST for sessions and therefore do not charge HST on psychotherapy services. This includes group therapy.

Cancellations or late reschedules made within 24 hours of the session will be subject to a full fee of the session booked. Please note: late cancellations or late reschedules due to emergencies and illnesses fees are waived.
