Insurance & Payment Information
My services are not covered by OHIP, but most Extended Health Benefit (EHB) plans in Ontario cover services provided by a Registered Psychotherapist. I provide official receipts for all sessions that include my CRPO registration number and all information required for your insurance claim.
Please check with your insurer to confirm your coverage for Registered Psychotherapist (RP) services before your first session. I am happy to answer questions about fees during our initial consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect during the initial consultation?
The initial phone consultation is an opportunity for us to briefly discuss your current challenges and goals for therapy. You can ask questions about my approach, and we'll determine if we might be a good fit for working together. If so, we'll schedule your first full session, where we'll dive deeper into your history and begin developing a treatment plan.
How long are therapy sessions?
Standard therapy sessions are 50 minutes. Extended 80-minute sessions are also available for deeper work or specific therapeutic interventions such as EMDR processing.
How often will we meet?
Most clients begin with weekly sessions, which provides consistency and momentum in the therapeutic process. As you progress, we may adjust to biweekly or monthly sessions. The frequency can be tailored to your needs and schedule.
Do you offer online therapy?
Yes, I offer secure PHIPA-compliant video sessions for clients located anywhere in Ontario. Online therapy provides the same quality of care with added convenience and accessibility. Learn more about teletherapy.
Does OHIP cover psychotherapy?
No, OHIP does not cover psychotherapy provided by a Registered Psychotherapist. However, many Extended Health Benefit (EHB) plans cover RP services. I provide official receipts for all sessions for insurance reimbursement purposes.
How long does therapy typically last?
The duration of therapy varies widely depending on your specific goals, the complexity of the issues being addressed, and your pace of progress. Some clients achieve their goals in 10–12 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term work. We'll regularly review your progress and adjust our plan accordingly.
