FAQ

Make An Appointment
THE FIRST SESSION

At the first session we will spend some time getting to know you, and we will talk about what brings you into therapy and to get a brief understanding of your background and past. It is necessary to have an account of the past as it will help to inform the present. In order for us to support you in the best possible way it would be helpful that I get to know what are your; past traumas, ability to deal with change and conflict, brief family history, areas of invalidation, success, strengths, fears, drug use history, relationships, etc. This is also where we will discuss various tools/supports which would be appropriate and suited to your situation.

FEES

Sessions are 50-60 minutes in length and fees range from $100- $220 per session plus HST if applicable. We offer a sliding scale space; please contact us to discuss the sliding scale availability. For those who are not familiar with a sliding scale it simply means you may be eligible for a reduced rate depending on your financial situation. We do believe that support should be accessible to all no matter your financial situation.

We currently have the ability for a limited caseload of clients, and we are looking for people who are committed to being held accountable and show up for each session. We ask that you give us 48- hours advanced notice to cancel your appointment. You can make payments for sessions by credit or e-transfer, we provide receipts for all payments.

WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?

This is difficult to predict as individuals are unique and complex;If you are willing to work towards change then results are bound to happen. Any type of change is often difficult and unsettling, even if it is change for the better, but willingness and commitment plays a large part in helping to foster change and growth.

INSURANCE

Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, it is possible for services to be covered in full or in part. Please contact your provider to verify how your plan compensates for mental health services.  

We’d recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:

  • Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
  • Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
  • Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?
  • Does my plan cover psychotherapists?   
PAYMENT

We accept all major credit cards as forms of payment.

CANCELLATION POLICY

If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 48 hours beforehand. Otherwise, you may be charged the full fee for the appointment.

    Land Acknowledgment
    We recognize that the land on which our work takes place is the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, covered by Toronto Purchase Treaty 13. We also honour the enduring presence of the Huron‑Wendat and Haudenosaunee peoples, who have been stewards of this land since time immemorial. Today, this territory remains home to many Indigenous peoples—First Nations, Inuit, and Métis—and we remain grateful to the caregivers of this land.
