FAQ

How much does it cost? What kind of services do you offer?

My current rate is $150 (tax already included) for a one-hour individual session and $225 for 1.5 hours for couples counselling. I work with mature minors, adults and couples.

Can I use my insurance to pay for counselling?

Yes, if you have extended health benefits for counselling with a Clinical Counsellor.

I am registered for direct billing with Green Shield and ICBC which means I can charge your insurance directly for sessions. I am pre-approved as a provider by SunLife Lumino and Blue Cross Medavie which means you can submit proof of payment from our sessions and get reimbursed. Please reach out if you have questions about other insurance or funding.

How many sessions do I need to feel better?

The counselling journey is as unique as you are therefore there are no definite guarantees for how long it will take. However, you may feel immediate relief in the first session, learn strategies to alleviate emotional distress in 3-6 sessions and work through deeper problems in long-term therapy. Some concerns have specific and effective “treatments” that work for most people, such as anxiety, and other concerns are highly individual and therefore require longer and more in-depth exploration to find your own unique solution. In any case, counselling should take as long as you want it to take! You are in the driver’s seat.
