Fees & Policies

The First Session

Coming to counselling takes courage.  I know you’ll be nervous and so your first session is really about making you feel comfortable and safe.  This is an opportunity for us to get to know one another.  I will invite you to share more about yourself and what brought you to therapy and you may have questions for me as well.   Ultimately, in this first session, the goal is for you to feel heard, understood, and cared for in a therapeutic relationship.  

Fees

Therapy rates are $150 + HST for individual therapy sessions. 

Circle of Security Groups are provided at a group rate of $85/session.

Payment

E-transfer is the preferred form of payment.  I also accept Visa, Mastercard and Amex - all credit card payments are subject to a 3% processing fee.  A receipt will be issued via email following payment. 

Cancellation Policy

If you are unable to attend an appointment, please provide 24 hours notice so the time may be used for another client.  For missed appointments or late cancellations, clients will be invoiced 100% of their service fee. 

Insurance Coverage

As a Registered Psychotherapist with Masters level training, my services are covered by most insurance/health benefit plans.  Clients are encouraged to check with their insurance provider to confirm the extent of their annual coverage for psychotherapy services. 

Privacy and Confidentiality

Your privacy is important.  All information provided (verbally, written, and otherwise) during your sessions and as part of the intake process will be kept confidential by me.  

Exceptions to this policy will only be made in extraordinary situations including:

  • If there is clear evidence that you are a serious danger to yourself or others

  • When there is reason to believe that a child under the age of 16 is in need of protection from physical, sexual, emotional abuse or neglect

  • If the client’s record has been subpoenaed by a court of law

  • If a client discloses that they or someone else has been abused by a regulated health professional

  • I frequently discuss my client’s cases anonymously with my Supervisor, peers and colleagues to enhance my own learning and hold myself accountable to the work we are doing together
