Yes, direct billing with certain insurance companies is available.
Please be advised that by opting for direct billing, you authorize us to submit claims on your behalf, including details such as the date and time of service, fees, attendance, and therapist name.
Fees may be covered in full or in part by your extended health care benefits. It is your responsibility to determine what your coverage includes.

The Psychology Association of Alberta has announced a new recommended fee schedule for January 2025 https://psychologistsassociation.ab.ca/resources/recommended-fee-schedule/
My rates for a “clinical hour” of 50 minutes will increase to $240 effective February 1, 2025.
I do have a limited number of sliding scale spots for reduced fee therapy.
Payment is required at the time of each appointment via e-transfer or credit card. A receipt will be email to you. Your credit card information will be kept on file in the Jane electronic medical record system, which is to collect payment for session fees, late cancellations, and missed appointments.

We require a 48-hour notice for cancellations. If you cancel less than 48 hours before your appointment or do not show up, you will be billed for the session. This charge will be applied to the credit card on file.
If you are not feeling well, we offer online and telephone sessions as an alternative to in-person appointments. Please contact us as soon as possible to make these arrangements.
Health insurance typically does not cover cancellation fees. Check with your insurance provider for specifics regarding coverage.

The first session serves as a discovery and “get acquainted” session for both of us.

Meet and Greet: You will have the opportunity to meet me, review the Informed Consent ask any questions you have about therapy and the process.
Topics discussed: I will ask questions to get a sense of your background and what you are hoping to achieve through our sessions.
Honoring your journey: You will not be pressured to answer specific questions, if you do not feel comfortable. You always have the right to say “yes,” “no” and/or “I don’t know.” I endeavor to meet you where you are at.
Takeaways: We may or may not explore strategies during the first session, depending on time and your goals.

90 or 120-minute sessions might be suitable for you if:

Scheduling: Your availability is such that you can’t commit to regular weekly or biweekly sessions but want to prioritize therapy. Extended sessions allow you to meet less often or on a more flexible schedule that fits your schedule.
Space for Reflection: You prefer having more time between sessions to reflect and integrate changes.
Extended Time: You feel that standard 50-60 minute sessions go by too quickly and may leave you feeling anxious or rushed to cover everything. Or you want more time to dive deeper into issues.
Window of Tolerance: Perhaps, your nervous system needs additional time to settle into and transition out of sessions, and you want to give yourself that space while still having enough time between sessions to work on what we explore in sessions.
Fees are prorated: 90 minutes is $ 360 and 120 minutes is $480

My license only permits me to provide services to clients who are within the province of Alberta at the time of the session.

Unfortunately, this location is not accessible for those with mobility challenges due to staircases. However, we offer online and telephone sessions to accommodate all abilities.
