Clinical Social Work and Psychotherapy

I understand that the hardest part when deciding to look for a therapist is finding the right therapist. Someone that you feel you can speak to with openness. This is often called “having a good therapeutic fit”.

I have worked with people from all different walks of life.  As a social worker, my services are anti-oppressive and do not discriminate. My goal is to provide you with a safe space to speak about whatever issue you may be needing assistance with at this time.

My hope is that working together you will feel feel heard, validated and have more connected authentic relationships.  You will also learn coping skills in each session to assist you to move in the direction you want.  I would be honoured to be part of your healing journey!

Some of the people I work with are:

-Families and Couples

-School Age Children

-Adolescence

-Adults of all ages

-LGBTQ+

-Military/Veterans (RCMP and Canadian Armed Forces)

Some of the people I provide therapy services to have a mental health diagnosis but many are seeking additional support and coaching while going through a specific struggle or issue.

As a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and Registered Psychotherapist (RP), my services are covered under most employee benefits programs.

Appointments for Psychotherapy and Clinical Social Work are offered in person in Oakville, Ontario.  Short-term treatment will typically consist of 6 to 12 sessions, while some other issues may require longer-term treatment and this will be discussed at the onset of therapy.

Group Counselling-Sessions Fees as posted

All fees have been set as recommended by the Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW). If you cancel an appointment within 24-hours or miss an appointment, you will be billed for the session.

Payment may be made in person using cash, credit card, and Interac e-Transfer. Also, you may make a payment in advance if desired.

The last 10 minutes of our time together will be used to take care of billing and book your next appointment if required. Service fees may be subject to change each year, as advised.

My electronic system records all sessions that have occurred, all charges made, and all payments received. A receipt is created for every amount received and includes my name, professional designations and registration numbers.  Generally speaking, this payment receipt is the documentation required by insurance companies to process claims. Receipts will be provided by email unless a paper receipt is requested or email is unavailable.

If you would like assistance in understanding the coverage available to you in your plan, please speak with me.

Please check with your insurers before your session to see if there are any specific requirements for your paperwork, as receipts will not be amended once created.
