Free Phone Consultation

Some of our therapists offer free brief phone consultations in order to answer any questions that you may have and see if it makes sense to book an initial appointment. You are also welcome to email us or ask our Intake Coordinator, Kristen, any questions you may have.  Please keep in mind that the privacy of what you share in email cannot be guaranteed unless all users are using encryption software. Since this is not the case, please use your own discretion when communicating personal matters in this way.

Rates

Our standard session fees will be charged at a rate of $190/hr. Clients are responsible for paying session fees at each appointment.

Insurance Coverage

Sessions are not covered by OHIP but may be covered through private insurance plans. To ensure coverage, please familiarize yourself with your benefits plan and which mental health professionals are covered, and provide us with this information when you are booking your initial session. If you are covered through your benefits, you will be responsible for paying the session fees upfront and submitting your receipts for reimbursement.

Length of Therapy Sessions

Standard sessions are one hour in length, however, longer sessions can be arranged on a case-by-case basis. Some of our therapists may recommend slightly longer sessions when working with couples and families. 

While longer sessions are not necessarily more helpful, especially with younger children, more time can be helpful for couples and for families with older adolescents and adult children, as multiple voices and relational dynamics often require more time. Feel free to inquire about longer sessions if you think it may be helpful for you and your circumstances.

Number of Sessions

The number of sessions that will be required will depend on the nature of the concerns, the goals that you have for therapy, and how much time and effort you are willing and able to allocate for making change outside of sessions.  You are not required to commit to a specific number of sessions and we can work together to assess what might be helpful for you and your circumstances.
