Services

I have over 30 years of experience treating the following problems:

  • work/personal stress and life balance
  • anxiety
  • depression
  • infertility
  • grief and bereavement
  • health issues, including acute, chronic and terminal illness
  • self-esteem, self-confidence, and assertiveness issues

It should be noted that I do not provide treatment to clients who are seeking psychological assessment or treatment as the result of a motor vehicle collision or through WSIB. Also, due to the short-term therapy model I employ, and my part-time practice, I do not provide treatment for emotional/physical/sexual abuse, personality disorders or chronic depression/suicidal ideation.

Fees and payment:

All services are charged on an hourly basis. If you require reports, letters, or the completion of forms an additional fee will be charged based on the time required to complete the documents. The hourly fee will be discussed with you during the first appointment.

Extended health coverage:

Many employers offer coverage for psychologists through their extended health benefit packages. Please check with your insurance company or employer to determine the type of coverage provided by your plan. Some plans require a physician’s referral prior to accessing these benefits. Unfortunately, psychological services are not covered by OHIP. Any psychological services not covered by an extended health plan can be claimed as a medical expense on income tax.

Payment:

Payment is made by cheque, cash, credit card or e-transfer at the end of each session. Clients are issued receipts which they submit to their insurers for reimbursement.
