General & Counselling Questions

  • Online sessions take place through Jane, our secure client platform. About 30 minutes before your appointment, you’ll receive an email with your private session link—no downloads or special setup needed.

    When it’s time, just click the link, settle into a comfortable space, and you’ll be connected with your therapist.

  • We don’t currently have a formal sliding-scale program. If finances are a concern, our team can help point you toward community resources or lower-cost options that may be a good fit.

  • If you need to change or cancel an appointment, we require 48 hours’ notice. Late cancellations or missed appointments may be charged the full session fee.

Common Assessment Questions

  • Assessment timelines vary depending on the type of testing required. Once you begin the intake process, we’ll outline the expected steps, number of sessions, and approximate timeline so there are no surprises.

  • Many extended health plans include some coverage for assessments. While we can’t typically direct-bill for assessment services, we’ll provide receipts with all required information for reimbursement.

  • Due to the specialized nature of assessment work—which includes testing, scoring, analysis, and report writing—we are not able to offer reduced-rate options at this time.

  • Yes. You can use a saved card associated with a family member’s profile. All financial information is stored securely, and clinical records remain confidential.
