Frequently Asked

Aren't people who go to therapy weak?
Not at all. People who ask for help know when they need it and have the courage to reach out. Everyone needs help now and then. In our work together, I'll help you explore and identify your strengths and how to implement them to reduce the influence of the problems you are facing.
What's the difference between talking to you or to my best friend or family?
A mental health professional can help you approach your situation in a new way, teach you new skills, gain different perspectives, and listen without judgment or expectations. Counseling is also completely confidential. You won't have to worry about others knowing your personal life.
How long will it take?
Everyone's circumstances are unique, and the length of time counseling can take depends on your desire for personal development, your commitment, and the factors driving you to seek counseling in the first place.
Do you offer online therapy sessions?
Yes. Both video and phone sessions are available, in addition to in-person sessions at our Ajax, Ontario office.
What are your fees?
Fees range from $150–$240 per session depending on the service. Your health insurance or employee benefits plan may cover psychotherapy fully or in part. Contact your provider to verify your coverage.
