What can I expect?

What should I do first?  

Waitlist? My waitlist is currently open. I typically have a four to six month waitlist.

How long are sessions? Initial intake sessions are 80-110 minutes, at which time I make treatment recommendations. Treatment sessions typically last 50-minutes. This can vary based on your symptoms and circumstances. If longer sessions are recommended, they are billed at the hourly rate.

How many sessions? The number of sessions and speed of recovery varies by individual. It is greatly affected by what we are working on, the severity of your symptoms, and how much work you are able to do between sessions. We will always take your budget into account. Most therapies involve a minimum of eight to ten sessions. Sessions are usually once per week.

How much does treatment cost? $250 for each 50-minute treatment session and $375.00 for each 80-minute intake session. Psychologists are not covered by BC Medical Services Plan. You may have coverage through an extended health plan.

What happens in treatment? What we do in our sessions varies by person. You should expect that treatment can bring up uncomfortable feelings and can be challenging. Treatment usually includes figuring out actions you can experiment with between sessions.
