​
What is your cost per session?
Please contact me for details
Can I come for sessions only once a week?
Yes, I only see clients on a weekly basis. Weekly sessions create a strong, and effective-enough relationship that allows for us to deepen our work together and for you to experience the change you desire.
​
How do I know if you’re the right counsellor for me?
Choosing a psychologist is a very personal decision. I suggest you book a session with a therapist, and trust your instincts when you are with them.
Ask yourself: “Can I see myself feeling safe and comfortable with this person? Do they *get* me ? Do I feel safe to express without fear of judgement?”
​
What exactly is counseling?
It is the process of meeting with a psychologist on a weekly, ongoing basis to help you recognize and change deep-rooted and potentially self-sabotaging mental and emotional behaviors, thoughts, and patterns that are keeping you feeling stuck, in pain, and away from the life you want to live.
​
How long does therapy last? How will I know when I’m done?
The duration of therapy looks different for everyone. For some, six months following an acute stressor (such as a breakup or loss of a loved one) is adequate. For others looking to change deeply rooted patterns and belief systems, the process may take longer. We will keep checking in throughout our work together to determine if it feels appropriate and timely to end therapy.
​
Is online video counseling confidential and private?
Yes! I also insist that clients take their online video sessions in a closed, private room to ensure privacy.
​
Is online video counseling as effective as in-person therapy?
It certainly can be! Whether you are in-person or video-conferencing, the single biggest thing that will make therapy effective is whether you and I have a good bond and if you feel comfortable with me. It is just as easy to experience this over video conferencing as it can be in person. Many of my clients who live far away and who can’t make it into my office find the connection just as effective and helpful as if they were working with someone in-person.
