COMMON QUERIES
Who do you work with?
I am qualified to work with individual adults 16+, with some specific areas of experience and training in working with older adults; developmental trauma; childhood emigration and immigration; anxiety, depression and sadness over the course of the lifespan; post-secondary students; men's mental and emotional health.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes. I offer a free 30 minute in-person or phone consultation to see if it might be a good fit for us to work together.
Do you offer online sessions?
I don't. For me, the in-person experience of sitting with another human being in a room offers an invaluable opportunity for communication and understanding that simply cannot be replicated on video call. I do offer phone sessions for clients whose work is already established and who are unable to come to the office.
Is your office an accessible space?
Unfortunately, my practice space is on the main floor of a converted house and as such is only accessible to those who can walk up and down two short sets of outdoor steps. If you need or would like a referral to a therapist with an accessible space, please let me know.
Do you offer sliding scale rates? Are your fees covered by OHIP?
Yes, when I am able. My sliding scale spots run from $80 - $130/hour and my regular rate is $150. Psychotherapy is not covered by OHIP. However, it is often covered by private insurance plans. Please check with your health care plan for the rate of coverage and the process by which to submit claims.
How long does each therapy session last?
Each therapy session is at least 50 minutes long, with an option for longer sessions as needed.
