How frequent are sessions?

That is up to you. Generally speaking, we will plan to meet once every two to three weeks. If something has come up and you feel stuck, you are welcome to come in more frequently. Ideally there is time between each session for you to process the work we have done before we meet again.

How long is the process?

What you want to work on and how frequently you want to meet will play a role in deciding how long the process is. The goal of Neural Network Therapy is to teach you the skills you will need to manage your emotional health. The process usually take 12-18 months. 

How much do you charge per session?

My rate for each session is $155.00. Sessions are 50 minutes. 

Are your services covered under my benefits or through OHIP?

Session are not covered through OHIP, however different benefit plans offer different coverage. I am an Emotional Health Practitioner. Coverage may be available through your extended benefits. Please check with your insurance company.

What are my responsibilities as a client?

Your responsibilities include arriving on time for in-person or virtual appointments  and letting me know if you won't be able to make a session with at least 48 hours notices.

As many clients prefer virtual appointments, technical issues and set up on your end are your responsibility to manage. If you are struggling, please reach out before your scheduled appointment.

What are your responsibilities as a EHP?

My responsibilities include always acting in the best interests of my clients, meeting my clients where they are at emotionally and adhering to the Code of Ethical Conduct, Practice Standards and Ontario College of Teacher guidelines on an ongoing basis. The principles that  govern my practice are: kindness, respect, safety, honesty and integrity. All of these principles are the foundation to trust. To do this work, there must be a safe space and there must be trust.

Why do you have limited office hours?

I believe work life balance is imperative to our well being and my schedule reflects that. I work to be accommodating of clients schedules with the understanding that rest and relaxation allow me to show up for my clients in a way that I can be most helpful and proud of. Due to a chronic illness, this is a full schedule for me. 

What is the difference between an Emotional Health Practitioner and Psychologist or Psychotherapist?

Emotional Health Practitioners are trained to use Neural Network Therapy to help clients with their emotional health. We work with the worried well teaching them about the connection between their brain and emotions. An important part of this work is introducing tools for their tool box to allow clients to manage their own emotional health in the future. Clinical psychologists can perform assessments and make complex diagnoses. Psychotherapists diagnose and treat more general mental health conditions and are more likely to perform talk therapy than psychologists.
