RATES & INSURANCE
Are sessions covered by insurance?+

In Ontario, extended health plans often cover therapy with an RSW (OHIP does not). In Florida, I am private pay, and I can give you a monthly superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Your plan has the final word, so it is worth a quick call to them.

What if I cannot afford the full rate?+

If the full rate is not workable right now, I will refer you to trusted clinicians, and psychologytoday.com is a good place to find providers who take your insurance.

What is your cancellation policy?+

Life happens: just give me at least 48 hours notice to cancel or reschedule. Later cancellations are charged the full fee, unless it is an emergency.

CONFIDENTIALITY
Is therapy confidential?+

Yes. The exceptions are the ones the law requires: child or elder abuse, imminent harm to yourself or others, court subpoenas, or abuse by a healthcare provider. You will review and sign a confidentiality agreement before our first session.

Is online therapy secure?+

Yes. Sessions are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform designed to protect the privacy of your information.

For Ontario clients, your personal health information may be stored on encrypted servers located in the United States. PHIPA does not prohibit health information from being stored outside Ontario or Canada, provided appropriate privacy and security safeguards are in place.

Your privacy matters too, so choosing a quiet, private space for your session can help protect your confidentiality.

What if there’s an emergency during online therapy?+

We’ll create an emergency plan before starting. Online therapy isn’t for crises. If you need immediate help, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency room if needed.

ABOUT THERAPY
What happens in the first session?+

Mostly introductions: what brings you in, what you hope changes, and any questions you have. You are never expected to share anything before you are ready. We go at your pace.

Can I meet you before committing?+

Yes, that is exactly what the free 15 minute consult is for. Ask about my approach, rates, availability, or anything else on your mind.

Do you offer in-person sessions?+

No. My practice is fully virtual, serving clients across Florida and Ontario. You can settle into your own space, grab your tea, and have therapy without adding another place to be.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?+

You do not need to be in crisis to benefit. Many of the women I work with are exhausted, overthinking everything, and quietly hard on themselves. If that sounds familiar, it is worth a conversation.
