People have a hard time letting go of their suffering out of a fear of the unknown; they prefer suffering that is familiar.

Engaging in Psychotherapy involves commitment and willingness to approach change; all while holding a balance with the resources you have. The work you put in often informs the process, that can result in the experience being increasingly beneficial.
Registered Psychotherapists in Ontario in a Private Practice setting are not covered under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). However, some extended insurance benefits will cover a portion of the cost. We advise you to speak with your benefit provider to determine if you have coverage and your annual allocation.
Therapy sessions are one hour in length, with 50 minutes devoted to the in-session process and the remaining we devote to related paperwork.
Occasionally clients have requested a longer session (1.5 – 2 hours), and this can be discussed when we are scheduling subsequent meetings, including the possible benefits as they relate to you.
Fees are paid after each session and are on an hourly rate of $125.00 to $150.00*. Accepted methods of payment includes cheque, cash or etransfer at the time of the session. We do not accept credit cards or debit cards as payment options.
*Important to note; A full session fee will be charged for sessions cancelled less than 24 hours notice of the scheduled session time. The payment will be expected before any other sessions are scheduled.
