Fees

I offer an initial therapy session to prospective new clients for $90, plus HST.

My full fee is $120.00, plus HST for a 50-minute session payable by cash or email money transfer in advance of session.

I do reserve spots at a sliding scale/reduced rate starting at $100, plus HST for daytime appointments and $110, plus HST for evening appointments. Please let me know if cost is a barrier for you, and we will try to find a rate that works.

Payment is required prior to session if sent by etransfer and at session by cash or cheque.

I require 48-hours notice to cancel a session without charge. If less then 48 hours, full payment is required.

Policies

• I offer relational, client-centred psychotherapy for adults in downtown Toronto or online.
• I practise under the supervision of faculty members of TIRP who are highly experienced therapists.
• Complete confidentiality is guaranteed, with the following exceptions:

1. If I believe that disclosure is essential to prevent physical harm to you or others;
2. If I believe a minor is in need of protection from abuse or neglect;
3. If my records are subpoenaed by court order;
4. To contact a relative/decision maker if a client is injured, incapacitated or ill and thus unable to consent;
5. To aid in the College's investigation into a regulated health provider; or
6. In other cases such as collaboration with another healthcare provider, a written informed consent to disclose must be obtained from the client whereby the client controls the extent of information shared. Any collaboration should only be done if it is appropriate to do so and not counter-therapeutic.

• Psychotherapy services provided are not covered by OHIP, but may be covered by certain insurance policies.
• I am available by appointment for therapy sessions of 50 minutes in downtown Toronto. Between sessions, I can be reached by confidential email tovereestherapy@gmail.com or by text 647-400-2497. I will return messages within 2 working business days.
• If I need to cancel an appointment, I will give you as much notice as possible.
• If you need to cancel an appointment, please give me as much notice as possible. Please note that I charge the session fee, if I receive less than 48 hours notice of cancellation, no exceptions, and this fee is due upon missed session.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the above.
