• I work in association with a Registered Psychologist and therefore most clients are able to use insurance coverage that they may have through work, a spouse, or through a parent. (This insurance coverage usually covers part of the total cost of counselling, up to a stated annual maximum. Please check your policy for your coverage details). Clients are responsible for the outcome of claims or reimbursement requests from private insurance plans.
• All sessions are 55 minutes in length, unless a longer session is desired and booked in advance.
• For clients who frequently travel or might find it difficult to come into my office on a regular basis, I offer counselling via Skype, email and telephone. This option is open to clients who I’ve met in person for at least two meetings. My hourly rates apply for this counselling, and payment is due at the end of each distance counselling session via Pay Pal.
• Payment can be made using cash or personal cheque and is due at the end of every session. Services provided in conjunction with the Registered Psychologist may also be paid using a Visa or MasterCard credit card. If a cheque is dishonoured, the bank fee for the returned cheque will be added to the client’s account, which must be settled in full within a week using another payment method.
• Any appointments that need to be cancelled or re-scheduled require a full 24 hours notice. Without such notice, the client will owe the full amount for the missed session.
• I ask that clients let me know if they decide to stop therapy/counselling (or wish to take a break from therapy/counselling).
• When booking an appointment with me via email or voice mail, I will hold a proposed appointment time for 24 hours, after which I must release that time if I haven’t received confirmation that the proposed time is acceptable.
• Emergency services are not available. In case of an emergency, clients should dial 911, contact their family practitioner, or go to the Emergency department of any hospital.
