Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a free Consultation Session?
The free consultation session is a valuable opportunity for individuals to explore therapy, discuss their concerns confidentially, and determine if the therapist is the right fit for their personal needs and goals. This initial session, which typically lasts between 20 to 30 minutes, serves as a chance for both the therapist and the client to get to know each other better.
How often and for how long do I have to attend therapy sessions?
There is no set number of sessions you must attend. It is the client’s choice. Some clients have short term goals in mind. And once the goals are achieved, they end the therapeutic relationship. For some it is long term, and they would prefer attending sessions to discuss and navigate the different challenges in their life.
This is a personal choice at the same time it would be recommended to attend sessions frequently in the beginning and then spacing them out once you notice progress.
Do you offer sliding scale for Therapy and Counselling Services?
Yes, we offer sliding scale based on the client’s financial situation and if therapy and counselling services are not covered by their insurance. The rate can be discussed with the therapist during the consultation session.
What is the cancellation policy for Therapy and Counselling Services?
One hour from the schedule is set aside for you and when there is a no show or a late cancellation, there will be a charge. Hence, you would be required to provide the clinic with 24 hours’ notice. If this is not provided, you would be charged a full fee.
