FAQ
Will my insurance cover your services?
Check with your insurance carrier to see whether they cover Registered Clinical Counsellors, many extended health insurers in BC will cover RCC services! After our sessions I will send you receipts for you to submit directly to your insurance providers. Please check with your insurance that they cover Registered Clinical Counsellor services, as that is the category my services fall under for insurance purposes (if your plan just covers social workers and psychologists they will not reimburse you for our work together).
Are your sessions in-person? Do you offer teletherapy services?
I am currently offering telehealth/teletherapy video sessions for online clients from anywhere in British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland Labrador, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan and the Yukon. I am offering in-person sessions for double vaccinated individuals at the Hub on 4th in Courtenay, BC. Sandplay therapy and Neurofeedback are the only modalities I offer that do not translate well to telehealth. All other modalities are just as effective virtually!
How much does a session cost?
Session fees are on a sliding scale of $160-$225 +gst for 50 minute sessions, to allow a broader range of accessibility for my counselling services. When booking you can let me know below what rate between $150-$225 per session feels affordable and sustainable for you.
How often should I come in for counselling sessions?
Ideally as we start off counselling it is best to have weekly sessions or sessions every second week. However, I know that this isn’t possible for everyone due to time or financial constraints, so together we will set up a care plan and work around whatever frequency of counselling works best, and is most accessible for you.
Do you carry liability insurance?
Yes, I carry $3-million professional liability insurance.
What is your educational background?
I completed my Bachelors of Arts and Sciences degree at Quest University Canda with a focus on psychology in Squamish, BC. I completed both my Master’s degree and Doctoral degree in Depth Psychology with an emphasis on Jungian psychology and archetypal studies from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, California.
