Fees & Confidentiality

Clear, compassionate information to help you plan your care.

Individual Therapy

$125 per 60‑minute session This rate reflects the time, care, and evidence‑based support offered in each session. Each appointment provides a steady, grounded space where you can explore, heal, and grow at a pace that feels safe.

Anxiety Skills Group (Virtual)

$20 per 60‑minute session per person This group is offered at a reduced rate to make support more accessible. It’s a small, gentle space to learn practical tools, connect with others, and feel less alone in your experience.

Payment Options

ACH Bank Transfer A secure, convenient way to make payments directly from your bank.

Sliding Scale Pricing Accessible care matters. Sliding scale options are available for those who need them. Please contact us directly to discuss a rate that feels manageable and supportive.

Insurance Coverage

We accept all major insurance providers in Ontario. Receipts are provided for reimbursement under Registered Social Worker (MSW, RSW) services.

Many extended health plans include coverage for social work services; please check with your provider to confirm your benefits.

NIHB Coverage for Indigenous Clients

We are proud to welcome First Nations and Inuit clients through the Non‑Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) program. This ensures access to culturally respectful, fully covered mental health support — without financial barriers.

Confidentiality

Your privacy is protected with care, clarity, and respect.

Therapy works best when you feel safe to speak freely. Everything you share with me is held with care and kept private, with only a few exceptions required by law and professional ethics. My role is to offer a grounded, trustworthy space where your story stays protected.

When confidentiality must be broken

I am required to share information only when:

  • there is a serious and immediate risk of harm

  • a child or vulnerable person may be at risk

  • a court orders the release of records

  • a regulated health professional has harmed a client

These situations are rare, and if a concern ever arises, I will discuss it with you whenever possible.

How your information is protected

Your records are held with care. All documents shared between us — including forms, letters, and session notes — are stored in secure, encrypted systems. Any files sent electronically are password‑protected so only you and I can open them.

This extra layer of protection helps ensure your story stays exactly where it belongs: safe, private, and in your control.
