Individual therapy is $175 for a 50-minute session. The 50-minute length allows me time for a brief break between clients, ensuring I show up to each session refreshed, clear-minded, and ready to help!

Clients can cancel or reschedule appointments without penalty as long as it's done more than 48 hours in advance. To make changes, simply log in to your Jane account or send me an email. Appointments canceled within 48 hours or missed entirely will be charged the full session fee. This 48-hour cancellation policy allows me to offer the time to another client who may be waiting for an appointment.

The length of therapy varies greatly from person to person. Some people come to therapy with a specific goal (i.e. to learn strategies to manage burnout at work) and once they achieve that goal, they are good to go! Other people come to therapy wanting work on ongoing concerns (i.e. a lifelong sense of not being good enough) that may be linked to trauma or other challenging life circumstances. In these cases, therapy tends to be longer as we are digging deeper into the roots of the issue. Other people view attending therapy as an important part of their routine health care and are looking for ongoing support. They are interested in connecting with a therapist on a long-term, consistent basis who can give them support through life's challenges and whatever they are navigating at the moment. In these cases, therapy can last years and be a place to receive consistent support from someone who really knows you and understands how you work. Wherever you happen to fall, I'm happy to help and can give you a better idea of the length of therapy I'd recommend after our intake session.

As a therapist, my job is to identify patterns and help you understand the symptoms you are struggling with. My expertise can help point you in the right direction when it comes to a diagnosis but only medical doctors (such as your family doctor or a psychiatrist) and registered psychologists can provide a formal diagnosis in Ontario.

Most private insurance plans will cover our sessions. Check with your provider to see if you have coverage for services by a Registered Social Worker.

In Ontario, all of these terms refer to mental health professionals but there are some important distinctions between the roles, qualifications, and scope of practice. Psychotherapist: Psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy or counseling, is a collaborative and evidence-based approach to treating mental health concerns, emotional difficulties, and psychological disorders. In Ontario, psychotherapy is a regulated act that can only be provided by certain regulated professionals who hold a Master's or Doctoral degree in a recognized field. The most common ones you will see are Registered Psychotherapists, Registered Social Workers, and Psychologists. I am a Registered Social Worker, which means I can provide psychotherapy. Psychologist: Psychologists hold a Doctoral degree (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) in psychology and are regulated by the College of Psychologists of Ontario. They conduct psychological assessments, diagnose mental health disorders, and provide evidence-based interventions to individuals of all ages. Some psychologists provide psychotherapy and some are more focused on research, consulting, assessment, or diagnosis. Psychiatrist: Psychiatrists are medical doctors (M.D. or D.O.) who specialize in mental health and hold additional training in psychiatry. Some psychiatrists provide psychotherapy, but more commonly they focus their practice on the diagnosis and prescription of medication for mental health.
