How do I book a session or an initial phone or video consultation?
Many people appreciate being able to book their own appointments via my client portal. For an initial consultation, you can email me or phone me and leave a message.
What therapy modalities do you use?
The modality depends on the needs and goals of clients. I often use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and other practices grounded in attachment and trauma knowledge. Trauma-focused work often involves Exposure Therapy, including Prolonged Exposure. I also draw on Solution-Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy practices. These are the modalities in which I have formal applied training and the most experience using.
What types of payment do you accept?
Payments can be made securely online via my practice platform (Owl Practice) using Stripe by credit card or electronic funds transfer. I also accept Interac e-Transfer payments.
What are your service fees?
Therapy sessions are $150 per hour. Individual sessions are typically one hour. Couple and family therapy sessions are typically 15 minutes longer at $185. If you have extended health insurance, for example, through an employer, your sessions may be fully or partially covered and you may want to check this before initiating services. Ask your insurance provider about coverage for a Registered Psychotherapist.
What if I need sessions outside the hours listed on your home page?
Please check with me as I may be able to provide sessions outside my regular hours.
I do not live near Kitchener, can I still use your services?
I can provide video sessions to people anywhere within Ontario. In some cases, I may be able to provide video sessions for people who reside outside Ontario. Please contact me and let me know where you are.
Are you offering in-person services?
I only offer services via my secure video platform, or by phone where appropriate.
What if I have more questions?
Feel free to email me with any questions or to book a phone or video consultation.
