1. How Much Does It Cost?
Each therapy session is $140. Each session includes 50 minutes of talk time, and 10 minutes of administrative time (like sending referrals, charting, etc).
2. Wow, That's A Lot Of Money. Is It Covered By Insurance?
While I don't direct bill, services are covered by most insurance providers. I always encourage clients to check with their provider to ensure they are covered by MSW (Master of Social Work). I will provide you with a receipt that you can submit following each session.
3. Okay, That Works. How Can I Pay You?
Payments are accepted by cash or e-transfer
4. But What About NIHB? Do You Direct Bill?
Yes! I do direct bill NIHB and am an approved NIHB service provider.
6. I'm Ready, But I'm Kind Of Nervous. What Will Our First Session Look Like?
Getting your foot in the door is half of the battle. In our first session we will discuss consent for service and limits of confidentiality. We will talk about what brought you to therapy, your current challenges and coping skills. Using a client centered approach, I will meet you where you are and discuss what you wish to achieve in therapy.
5. Are Your Sessions Covered By EAPs (Employee Assistance Programs)?
I am connected with Homewood Health, LifeWorks, and the Public Service.
7. I Don't Need Therapy, But I Think My Teen Should Talk To Someone. How Do I Know If This Is The Right Fit?
I have an extensive background counselling youth over the age of 13. I understand that kids aren't always open to therapy, so I focus on building a positive, trusting relationship with them.
I provide a safe space for them to address issues in their own time, not on anyone else's schedule. I have experience counselling youth through anxiety & depression, substance abuse, and grief & loss.
9. Alright, I'm Convinced. How Do I Get Started? Where Are You Located?
I am located at 15 Hallett Crescent, St. John's, NL. To get started, click here!
8. I'm Super Busy, Though. Do You Offer Virtual Appointments?
Absolutely. Virtual appointments are always an option.
