Question 2

What is the price per session?

Question 3

Will the session fee go up with time?

Accepted Answer

No. The session fee you begin with is guaranteed and will remain the same for as long as you continue working with me.

Question 4

Is psychotherapy covered by insurance?

Accepted Answer

Psychotherapy services are not covered by OHIP. However, I provide receipts that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. Since coverage varies, please confirm with your insurance company that your plan includes psychotherapy before beginning sessions.

Question 5

Do you offer in-person or virtual sessions?

Accepted Answer

I offer both in-person and virtual sessions.

Question 6

What's the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

I kindly ask that any changes or cancellations be made at least 24 hours before your scheduled session. This allows me to offer the time to someone else who may be waiting. If less notice is given, the full session fee will apply, except in cases of emergency.

Question 7

What's the difference between a psychotherapist and a psychologist?

Accepted Answer

Psychotherapists provide talk therapy but they're not permitted to give diagnoses. Psychologists can also do therapy, but they are additionally trained to assess and diagnose mental health conditions.

Question 8

What age groups do you work with?

Accepted Answer

I work with individuals over the age of 8 years old.

Question 9

How does therapy help?

Accepted Answer

Therapy provides a safe space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns. Approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can help you identify and change unhelpful thinking, while Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches skills to manage emotions, cope with stress, and improve relationships. Together, these tools support lasting change and healthier ways of coping.

Question 10

Is therapy confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes. What you share in therapy is private and kept confidential. The only exceptions are rare situations required by law, such as risk of harm to yourself or others, or child protection concerns.
