Every year we make grand plans for ourselves to achieve the impossible. Sometimes we know that these resolutions are often rather lofty and unrealistic, yet we make them anyway. Then, within the first couple days (if not hours) of the new year — our resolution has already been broken. This time around, why not try some of our tips to make those Resolutions stick!
We offer you a complimentary consultation (a 20-minute session). This provides the opportunity to meet your therapist, ask any questions, understand what future sessions will be like, and ensure that you feel safe and a connection with your psychologist. This also gives us a chance to get to know you a bit and prepare for our next session.
I am so glad you are dedicated to getting the most out of your sessions. Your active participation and dedication is crucial to your success. After all, we only see each other for a session a week. It’s the work you do outside of our sessions that will really help you see your personal growth and development.
We encourage you to contact your provider for details, but if your personal benefits have psychology/counselling coverage, we are covered by all private insurance providers. We offer direct billing for Canada Life, Green Shield Canada, Alberta Blue Cross, and several other companies and organizations. Our rates are:
$190/hr - R.Psych | $160/hr - R. Prov. Psych
Sliding Scale Fee Structure (determined by a psychologist)
A typical session is 60 minutes but depending on the presenting concerns and the size of your family, it may be suggested to have 90-minute sessions. The length and frequency of sessions will be collaboratively determined with your psychologist.
Unfortunately, this is not possible to say on a general FAQs page. Everyone’s circumstances are unique to them and the length of time therapy can take to allow you to accomplish your goals depends on your desire for personal development, your commitment, and the factors that are driving you to seek therapy in the first place.
