Frequently Asked Questions

What is your appointment schedule?

Appointments are Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 10:30AM and 5PM.

What are your fees and what methods of payment to you accept?

Fees are as recommended by the Psychologists Association of Alberta. Please ask for details when requesting an appointment. Payments can be made by e-transfer. Some insurance or benefit plans may apply.

Is a Doctor's referral necessary to make an appointment?

No, a Doctor’s referral is not necessary.

Are my sessions with a psychologist confidential?

Yes, the information that you share with your psychologist is held in strict confidence. However, a psychologist is required to break confidentiality  if a client expresses imminent intention to commit suicide, assault, homicide or child abuse,  in order to attempt to prevent these acts.

Does Alberta Health Care cover the fees of a psychologist?

No, it does not. However if you have healthcare coverage through a work plan, then it is likely that these plans will cover all or part of my fee. Check your insurance companys’ Benefits site online.

How do I know if therapy/counselling is right for me?

Give me a call, and we will spend about 20 minutes on the phone discussing your needs and the fit with counselling.

How does therapy work?

Therapy and counselling are collaborative processes where you work together with your psychologist. I will work initially to understand the issues that you bring to counselling, giving you the opportunity to tell your story in your own way. We will then identify goals for the counselling process, and steps towards achieving your goals. Creating change can be a difficult process, and some issues take more time and work than others. I am present to support you with the change process.
