What are your counseling rates? 

I strive for transparency and affordability in my practice, ensuring my rates are always current and reflective of my extensive experience:

• Standard Individual Session (60 minutes): $120
• Extended Session (90 minutes): $180

Health Insurance Coverage: Many clients enjoy extended health benefits from their employment, which may cover counseling sessions. It's crucial to review your individual policy for specifics. If you have any questions regarding your insurance coverage, don't hesitate to reach out to me.

Payment Methods: Payments is expected on the day of the session. I accept payments through e-transfer to a designated email, cash, or cheque. A receipt will be issued by me at the end of each session.

Reduced Rates: I offer discounted rates for nurses, first responders, and members of partner wellness organizations. Please check the relevant links on my website for eligibility details.

What can I expect from a counselor? 

You can expect me to:

• Treat you with respect and integrity.
• Maintain honesty and transparency in our interactions.
• Respect your beliefs and remain non-judgmental.
• Uphold the highest ethical and moral standards.
• Clearly communicate your rights and responsibilities from the start.

What is Counseling? Counseling is a professional process that helps individuals of all ages live more productive and psychologically healthy lives. It involves a collaborative effort between you and me, your counselor, aimed at achieving your mental health, wellness, and personal goals. This effective relationship builds on mutual respect, empathy, and genuine interaction.

Can young people seek counseling? In British Columbia, individuals under 18 can consent to their own counseling, though parental or guardian consent is generally required. Family involvement often plays a significant role in therapeutic outcomes.

What does successful counseling feel like? Successful counseling manifests as noticeable changes in your feelings and behavior—you may feel more hopeful, self-confident, and at peace. Such shifts typically lead to improved interactions and positive feedback from others.
