SERVICES

In our practice we primarily work with individuals. However, when relevant, and when requested by the patient, important family members may be invited into sessions. This can sometimes be helpful when an individual is doing work that involves important others (eg., improving communication).

For the most part, psychotherapy is very personal and private process and we take direction from the client regarding the types of intervention with which they are most comfortable.

Common issues seen in treatment include:

Living with Chronic Impairment and pain
Anxiety and Phobias
Depression
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder(Childhood Trauma or Recent Traumatic Events)
Difficulty managing stress
Healing from Sexual, Physical and/or Emotional Abuse
Interpersonal difficulties and conflict
Low Self-esteem
Lack of assertiveness
Work-related difficulties
Anger Management

FEES

Psychological services are not covered under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan(OHIP) though most extended health insurance providers offer at least partial coverage for psychological services.

You will have to check with your plan to determine the amount and duration of your coverage for psychological services. Our office can bill directly to some third party payers such as WSIB, other extended health providers differ in their method of billing and you should ask whether your carrier allows for an assignment of benefits(pay directly to the provider). The standard fee is $225.00 per session; each session is 1 hour long. If you are paying out of pocket for your treatment, we will provide you with an official receipt that you may submit for reimbursement to your insurance company or report on your tax return as a medical expense.
