Therapy appointments are 60 minutes in length. Many clients often schedule weekly or bi-weekly appointments. We can discuss what would be helpful for you. Therapy can be short-term or long-term depending on your goals.

Together, we can decide what will work best for you and a therapy approach will be tailored to your individual needs.

Confidentiality is an essential component of the client/therapist relationship. What you share with your Therapist is kept confidential as there is a legal duty to protect your information and keep it private and secure. There are some limits to confidentiality that will be discussed with you in detail.

Fees can be discussed during the initial consultation.

Payments are made by the client’s credit card over a secure platform. You will be issued a receipt that you can submit for reimbursement for the cost of sessions through your health insurance if you have a plan that provides you with coverage for services by a Registered Social Worker (RSW).

Direct billing to insurance companies is not provided.

While psychotherapy services are not currently covered under OHIP, many health insurance plans provide partial or complete coverage for the cost of therapy sessions.

If you have health benefits, please check to ensure whether coverage is provided for therapy services by a Clinician who holds an MSW degree with a designation of Registered Social Worker (RSW).

As per the Canada Revenue Agency, health care professionals such as RSW’s are recognized as authorized medical practitioners and as such, clients may be eligible to claim expenses associated with psychotherapy services provided by an RSW as a medical expense tax credit on their income taxes.

Please refer to the CRA website for more information.

The goal is to help you with what you need, empower you, and build your capacity to address issues in your life. The number of sessions needed is not pre-determined and is based on your therapy wants and needs. We work together to decide what works best for you. As therapy is voluntary, you have the autonomy to decide. During therapy, I teach you skills and strategies that you can continue using even after you end therapy.
