Frequently asked questions
- Is therapy covered by insurance?
- OHIP does not cover psychotherapy. Many extended health benefit plans through work or school include coverage for Registered Psychotherapists, usually up to a yearly amount. After each session, you’ll receive a receipt with my CRPO registration number to submit to your insurer. Because plans vary, it’s a good idea to confirm that yours covers “Registered Psychotherapist” or “psychotherapy.”
- Do you offer reduced fees?
- Yes. I hold a limited number of reduced-fee spots for clients who need them. Please ask when you get in touch.
- Do you do therapy in person or online?
- Both. Sessions are in person in Peterborough or online by secure video anywhere in Ontario.
- How does it work with children and teens?
- We’ll usually start with a consultation call with a parent or caregiver so I can learn a little about what’s going on and answer any questions. From there, I’ll meet with your child or teen. Sometimes it’s helpful for a parent or caregiver to join us for the beginning of the first session before I meet with your child one-on-one. I’ll also explain confidentiality and how parent involvement works at the beginning.
- How often will we meet, and for how long?
- That depends on what you’re coming in for and what you’d like to work on. We’ll talk about frequency early on and decide together what makes sense. We can adjust as we go, and you can pause or stop therapy at any time.
- What does Qualifying mean?
- I’m registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) in the Qualifying category. Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) is a regulated registration category for newer practitioners who have completed their psychotherapy education and are completing CRPO’s remaining requirements for full RP status. I practise with clinical supervision, and receipts include my CRPO registration number for insurance purposes.
- What if I am in crisis?
- Call or text 9-8-8, Canada's suicide crisis line, or go to your nearest emergency department. I am not a crisis service.
