FAQs

What Are Your Fees?

While working towards registration with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) as a supervised Student Therapist, therapy sessions are 60 minutes and billed at $135.00.

Do You Offer Sliding Scale?

Anti-oppressive practices are critical in building a future where access is abundant and belonging is felt.

As one of such practices, a number of reduced rate sessions are available for those experiencing economic marginalization due to the host of systemic issues that create it.

To inquire about reduced rate session availability, feel free to reach out by filling out a Contact form or by booking a Discovery Call.

Are Sessions Covered by Insurance?

Since I am working towards registration with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) as a supervised Student Therapist, sessions are generally not covered by insurance.

If you have a Health Spending Account or Wellness Account through your employer, it’s worth reaching out to your insurance provider to see if sessions might be covered.

What Defines Trauma?

Trauma is any disruption that overwhelms our capacity to exist, adapt, and thrive. It can occur when an experience is:

  • Too much too soon

  • Not enough for too long

  • Too much for too long

  • There is not enough time or space needed to heal

  • The resources to navigate external stressors are not available

  • An individual or collective are stripped of their agency

  • Instincts, intuitions, or responses are hindered

The effects of trauma can be felt immediately or over time and is also strongly influenced by cultural, social, structural, and development factors - many of which are systemic in nature.

Can You See Clients Outside of Ontario or Canada?

If you live outside of Ontario or Canada and are curious about working together, feel free to reach out by filling out a Contact form or by booking a Discovery Call to inquire about Somatic Skills Coaching.

Please note that these sessions are outside of the scope of psychotherapy and are not psychotherapeutic in nature. They are not designed to serve as a replacement for therapy, but can be a supportive supplement for those actively engaged in psychotherapy with a licensed mental health professional.
