COMMON QUESTIONS

WHAT ARE YOUR RATES?
Individual psychotherapy sessions typically last 50 minutes and cost $190.  Some therapeutic approaches require 80 minute sessions and are adjusted to $265.
WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?
You can use e-transfer or credit card to pay for services at the time of your sessions.  If an alternative form of payment is needed, please reach out and we can trouble shoot this together.
ARE YOUR SERVICES COVERED BY OHIP?
The Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) does not cover the services provided by Sage Heart Psychotherapy. Many employment benefit packages and private insurance plans include coverage for therapy services. It is important to make sure that your provider covers services provided by a Social Worker.
WHAT TYPES OF THERAPY APPROACHES DO YOU USE?
DO YOU OFFER SLIDING SCALE SERVICES?
I offer limited spaces for clients who need access to affordable therapy.  I am a member of the Open Path Psychotherapy Collective, a non-profit nationwide network of mental health professionals dedicated to providing mental health care to clients with lower incomes.

My therapy practice knowledge & tool kit is ever growing. My approach is influenced by Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based, trauma-informed and compassion focused approaches.  I am formally trained in both Exposure & Response prevention treatment for OCD & Prolonged Exposure treatment for PTSD.  Additionally, I have training in Mindfulness Integrated CBT, CBT for insomnia, as well as in the use of yoga in trauma therapy. 

“Having compassion starts and ends with having compassion for all those unwanted parts of ourselves. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.”
— Pema Chodron
