Service Details for Therapy Clients
Therapeutic Approach
All services, including therapy, are offered from an integrative approach, drawing mainly from Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). This is an evidence-informed, collaborative and focused approach that is helpful for treating a wide range of difficulties. This approach focuses more on building self-knowledge to make meaningful and lasting changes in your life, and less on teaching specific “skills.”
All services are offered from a collaborative and affirming perspective.

Cost & Payment
The hourly fee for all services offered is $210 per hour. Sessions fees are typically paid by Electronic Money Transfer (EMT) directly after session. A receipt is provided, and clients may self-submit to their insurance. Psychology services are covered by the majority of insurance providers, though a written referral from a physician may be required for coverage. Direct billing is available for clients of Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC).
Referral Process
Clients may self-refer or be referred by a health care provider or case worker. Free 15-minute phone consultations are available to help determine if this is the right service for you.
