Therapy helps us come to a new understanding of ourselves, our emotions, thoughts, and psyche. It is a deep dive into our soul, into places we don’t always go in our day-to-day lives. A common misconception is that therapy is only for people who are struggling, but truthfully, it can benefit everyone. Therapy is also a time where you can unload the stresses of life, joined by a supportive, kind, and empathetic therapist who can help you process whatever you need to. In doing this, the hope is that we become more aware, enlightened, and lighter.

This truly depends on you and your needs. Some people benefit from short-term therapy to help with an immediate need or crisis. Others spend months or years developing a relationship with their therapist, and they use therapy as a maintenance tool throughout their life. You are the boss when it comes to this decision, but together we can collaborate on what makes sense for you and your goals. You may also want to decide whether you have therapy weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc. These are all decisions that can be made in the first few weeks of therapy.

Many insurance companies do cover psychotherapy services. However, it is important to do your research to determine if that is the case with your specific provider. It is your responsibility to determine if psychotherapy is covered, and I do not do direct billing. I will provide you with a receipt of payment for you to submit.

Currently, I see some in-person clients one day a week. However, the majority of my clients are virtual. I am open to discussing both possibilities with you. Most times, virtual sessions work just as well as in-person! However, some people do desire the in-person setting, so I make every effort to accommodate. For in-person sessions, they are held at a downtown Collingwood location. I also do walk-and-talk therapy which can be a great way to meet! This usually involves meeting in a public place like a park, and simply walking and talking.
