It's That Time Of Year Aagin
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!
Ways to Make Your New Year's 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 offer Direct Billing to several different insurance providers. Generally, direct billing is determined by the therapist's designation. Below is a list of the current direct bill breakdowns.
Registered Psychologist: GreenSheild, Alberta Blue Cross, Canada Life, Manulife.
Registered Provisional Psychologist: GreenSheild, Alberta Blue Cross
Registered Social Worker: GreenShield
If your sessions cannot be direct billed, we will provide you with a receipt you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement, assuming your policy allows for the proper coverage.
Occasionally, some insurance companies ask for a little more information about your therapist to confirm their coverage for services. If that happens, please email our office with the specific information you will require and we will be happy to provide that to you.
(Please note: we cannot guarantee direct billing or insurance coverage - we always recommend confirming coverage with your specific provider)
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.
