Frequently Asked Questions

Psychotherapy is a form of treatment designed to address emotional challenges and psychological distress through a collaborative partnership between a client and a trained therapist. The central focus of psychotherapy is the exploration of the entire spectrum of human experiences, encompassing thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Therapeutic conversation involves seeking solutions to underlying or “deep” issues as opposed to only alleviating symptoms. Every practitioner may have their distinct approach, but the shared objective across all psychotherapies is to cultivate a constructive therapeutic experience and facilitate insight and transformation from within the client.

During your first therapy session, you can expect to discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and your medical and mental health history. Your therapist may also ask questions about your current symptoms and how they are impacting your daily life.

Psychotherapists registered with the CRPO are typically covered for individuals who are living in Ontario. Please check with your insurance provider to confirm whether your plan covers mental health services from a Registered Psychotherapist.

Unfortunately, I do not direct bill (i.e. submit your insurance claims for you). After each session, an invoice will be e-mailed to you which you can then submit yourself to your insurance company to be reimbursed.

At this time, I only accept payment by credit card and e-transfer.

Our therapy sessions are offered at a rate ranging from $160 to $175 per 50-minute session. Fees vary based on the therapist’s level of experience, expertise, and professional designation in accordance with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).
