Here are some examples of things that we may do in therapy sessions:

- Practice ways to create space when thoughts or feelings are overwhelming

- Notice and build connection with different parts of who you are

- Work together to identify or move toward your values, goals, and hopes

As a trauma-informed therapist, I believe that therapy should move at a pace that feels okay for all parts of you

The very first step is to set up an initial consultation with me. This 15-minute consultation over the phone or video is free of charge and gives you a chance to notice if you feel that I am a good fit. It also allows me to determine if I am a good fit for your experiences and goals.

You can set up a Introductory Virtual Consultation with me through my online booking calendar: yellowleaftherapy.janeapp.com

Yes! Sessions are available both in-person or through online video sessions. See more about our locations on our Contact Us page.

The rate for Individual Therapy is $160 / 50-minute session.

Currently, I do not have spots available for my reduced rate and sliding scale therapy.

At this time, I do not work with couples.

I only work with individuals who are aged 18 or older.

Currently, I only provide psychotherapy services for residents of Ontario.

If you are travelling, we can arrange to meet for sessions before and after your travels. You must be in Ontario at the time of our session.

Sessions occur through Jane App’s virtual platform.

You can also book sessions via our online booking system.

My services can be claimed through most health insurance plans that provide coverage for Social Work services.

I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and have my Master of Social Work (RSW).

You may also be able to claim coverage for my services through the medical expense tax credit. After each session, I can provide you with a receipt for your records and for your insurance or tax purposes.

At this time, I do not offer direct billing. If you have health insurance coverage, check with your insurance provider to find out more about the process of getting reimbursed for insurance claims.

Payments are completed online through credit card payment via Jane Payments and Stripe Express.

When you book your first psychotherapy session (not initial consultation), you will be required to input a valid credit card into your online booking Jane profile.

You are not required to input a credit card number for the no-cost 15-minute consultation.

I focus on working with individuals once a week, or once every other week.

How often and for how long you might come to therapy depends on many factors, such as your goals, your previous experiences, and your availability. This is something we can discuss together.

When you book a session with me, this time is set aside for you. I kindly ask that you cancel your appointment as soon as you know that you need to. Appointments that are canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged the full session fee.

Please note that we are not available for immediate or crisis support.
