Your Therapy Questions Answered | Guiding You Therapy
-
What is the cost of therapy sessions?
Individual therapy sessions are $140 each, with no extra HST. Sessions usually last 50 minutes unless we decide otherwise. I believe in clear, honest communication about fees so you know exactly what to expect.
-
How do I pay for therapy sessions?
I accept payment via e-transfer or cash at the time of your session. While I don’t offer direct billing, I provide a receipt you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. Insurance coverage varies by plan, so it’s a good idea to check with your provider.
-
What is your cancellation policy?
I understand life happens! If you need to reschedule or cancel, please give me at least 48 hours’ notice. Unfortunately, reschedules or cancellations with less than 48 hours’ notice will be subject to the full session fee. This helps keep my schedule fair and open for everyone seeking support.
-
Are your therapy sessions virtual or in-person?
I offer both! You can attend therapy virtually from the comfort and privacy of your own home anywhere in Ontario, or visit me in person at my warm, modern, and private clinic in Burlington, ON. Whichever feels right for you is perfect.
-
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
If you’re a young woman feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or healing from toxic relationships or emotional abuse, therapy can be a gentle space to find your voice and rebuild your confidence. You’re in control of your journey—you can start, pause, or stop therapy anytime you want. I’m here to support you at your pace, with no pressure.
-
What can I expect in our sessions?
Our sessions are a safe, judgment-free space where you can share what feels most important to you, at your own pace. I work in a gentle, indirect way that honors your comfort and readiness. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, notice patterns, and develop tools to support your healing and growth. Therapy is a collaborative process. I’m here to listen, support, and guide you every step of the way.
-
How long does therapy usually last?
Therapy is unique to each person. I usually recommend booking your first couple of sessions weekly or biweekly to help us build a trusting relationship and support you in meeting your goals. After that, session frequency can be adjusted based on what feels right for you. Some clients continue for a few months, while others choose longer-term support.
-
What if I’m not sure therapy is working?
It’s totally normal to wonder about this! Therapy is a process, and sometimes change takes time. If you’re feeling stuck or unsure, just bring it up with me — I’m here to listen and adjust our work so it feels meaningful and helpful.
-
