Sessions are typically 50 minutes. Occasionally, an extended 80 minute or 100 minute session may be accommodated based on direction and session content.

It varies! This depends on the concern(s) bringing you to therapy. If you are going through a sudden unexpected crisis and are needing some support to manage or process things, it may only take a few sessions. However, if the reason that brings you to therapy is something that has been with you for many years of life, it is likely that you may need more time to begin to notice progress towards your goals. I can provide you with a better idea following your initial session.

My job is to work myself out of a job! I love the work I do. And, I also want my clients to experience lasting change, which would limit the frequency of therapy sessions. I’ve noticed that clients who adhere to weekly sessions at the beginning, experience increasingly positive outcomes and an easier time getting started in their therapeutic work. However, weekly sessions are NOT mandatory in order to work with me–we can work out a routine that works best for you. As you move through your therapeutic journey, we will eventually transition to bi-weekly, then monthly sessions. Previous clients are always welcome for “tune ups” as needed!

The current rate for individual therapy is $140/50 minute session. My fees are set in line with my expertise, years of experience, and my postgraduate level training. The fee includes the time we spend together in session, as well as time spent outside of your session planning your treatment/support and keeping progress notes.

A reduced fee based on household income may be offered on occasion. I reserve a limited number of spots in my schedule to offer reduced fee sessions. When possible I will work with you to find a way for therapy to be financially sustainable. Please contact me to discuss.

The simple answer is, typically, yes. As mental health becomes more and more of a priority, most workplace and private insurance providers will offer coverage for Psychotherapy. There may, however, be conditions to your insurance coverage for therapy, as what is covered varies from plan to plan. It is important to do your due diligence before starting therapy so you don’t get stuck with unexpected out-of-pocket payments afterwards. To ensure that Psychotherapy is covered by your insurance provider, you’d need to confirm with your employer or your insurance provider directly.

You are not locked in. Therapy is for YOU! We know from research that the therapeutic relationships between client/therapist is the biggest indicator of change. If at any point you feel like I am not the best fit for you, I will help you connect with a therapist to transition over to.

Yes, currently all my sessions are offered online via a secure video platform. You will be sent a secure link to click on at your appointment time.

Absolutely! Research has shown that therapy delivered online is comparable to in-person therapy. In fact, it has added advantages such as being able to access specialists outside your geographical location, saves you time and money on travel to/from appointments, and you can access it from the safety and comfort of your own home, office, or even a (parked!) car—anywhere private and safe.

Clients must notify me of a cancellation at least 24 hours in advance. If a client does not show up for their session and has not contacted me at least 24 hours in advance, they are charged the full cost of the missed session.
