FAQ's

Do I need a referral?

No, you do not require a referral to attend therapy sessions with me, however; some insurance coverage may require a doctor's note to claim services for insurance purposes. Please check with your insurance provider.

Are you covered under insurance?

As a Registered Social Worker, most insurance plans will cover my services. Please check with your insurance provider. I do not direct bill at this time, however; I will provide you with a receipt.

What do you charge for services?

My services are a $110 investment for 50-minute session. I offer a 15-minute phone initial consultation free of charge. I accept e-transfer, cheque or cash before session. I offer a very limited number of reduced cost sessions to those that demonstrate need, please email me for more information.

Where are you located?

I am currently located at 1239 Manahan Avenue in Shea Tree Wellness. It is in the middle of an industrial park on the second floor. There is lots of free parking available. When you arrive for session, kindly have a seat in the waiting area and I will come collect you.

Do you offer virtual sessions?

Yes. I currently offer sessions in-person, over the phone and through telemental health via Doxy.me. If we are meeting remotely, I will send you a link the day prior to our session.

What can I expect in the first session?

In the first session, we will review some initial paperwork/assessment forms. This session is used for us to get to know one another and discuss what brought you into therapy. In this initial meeting, we will create a plan to address some of the goals you have and to work towards increasing your overall sense of well-being. 

7

What if I need to cancel an appointment?

You will receive a reminder before the appointment to confirm that the time/date of the session still works for you. If you need to cancel, I can be reached via email or text. I appreciate and understand that life can be busy, however; less than 24 hours' notice for cancellation may require you to pay for the session in full.
