Solution-Focused Couple, Family and Individual Therapy
Policies
Please read this page before booking an appointment with me.
The fee for psychotherapy is $125 per hour, plus HST. I accept credit cards, debit cards, cheques and cash.
If you are seeing me under an employee assistance plan such as Ceridian, Homewood, or Shalem, there is no cost to you. On occasion I make special arrangements with other third-party payers. If you aren't sure that you're covered, call me.
If you book an appointment with me I expect you to attend. You may cancel an appointment without penalty if you give me 24 hours' notice, by email or by phone. If you must cancel less than 24 hours before your appointment, call me and leave a message explaining the cancellation. If you just don't show for an appointment you have booked, you will be billed for the missed session.
Sessions usually begin on time and end 50 minutes later. There is a waiting room for your use if you arrive early. If you are more than 15 minutes late I will assume that you are not coming, and go on with other things.
You may be able to have your fee reimbursed through your health insurance plan, but that is your responsibility. You understand that I am not a clinical psychologist and I am not a social worker. Many health insurance plans provide coverage for my services. Call your insurance provider and ask. Be careful: some insurance providers will promise coverage for a registered therapist and then refuse the claim unless the therapist is a psychologist or social worker. I am neither of these. I am a registered marriage and family therapist.
