LENGTH OF THERAPY. Therapy sessions are typically weekly or biweekly for 50 minutes depending upon the nature of the presenting challenges and insurance authorizations.

LENGTH OF THERAPY. The frequency of therapy sessions varies depending on your particular needs and desires, but we typically meet weekly or bi-weekly for 50 minute sessions. Initially, it is difficult to predict the duration of how many sessions will be needed, so we will collaboratively discuss from session to session what the next steps are and how often therapy sessions will occur. The patient reserves the right to request an increase or decrease to frequency at any time. The patient also reserves the right to end treatment at any time, but I request that you communicate this desire directly to me. APPOINTMENTS AND CANCELLATIONS: You are responsible for attending each scheduled appointment and agree to adhere to the following policy: FEES: The fee for each 50-minute therapy session is $175.00 and payment is due in full at the end of every session.

In order to protect your confidentiality, I strongly suggest not being involved in the court. If I get called into court by you or your attorney, you will be charged an hourly rate of $175.00 to include travel time, court time, preparing documents, etc. COPIES OF MEDICAL RECORDS: Should you request a copy of your medical records, the cost is $10.00 per page.

PHONE CONTACTS AND EMERGENCIES: Office hours are from 8am to 7pm, Monday through Friday.

LENGTH OF THERAPY. Therapy sessions are typically weekly or biweekly for 60-120 minutes depending upon the nature of the treatment modality.

LENGTH OF THERAPY. Generally the therapy is open ended. This means that we do not work to a set number of sessions. • In the event that I believe I am not the appropriate therapist for you, I will explain why, and if requested, can try to provide details of alternative therapists. • In the event that I need to end my work with you, I shall endeavour to give enough notice to allow opportunity for the ending to be properly addressed.
LENGTH OF THERAPY. Therapy sessions are typically weekly or biweekly for 50-55 minutes depending upon the nature of the presenting challenges. Neurofeedback is recommended twice weekly initially, backing off to weekly once we feel that goals are being met. It is difficult to initially predict how many sessions will be needed. For Neurofeedback, typically changes occur after 10-15 sessions but more may be needed to meet all goals. We will collaboratively discuss from session to session what the next steps are and how often therapy sessions will occur.
LENGTH OF THERAPY. Timescales will vary by client and will be discussed during your sessions. I offer open-ended therapy unless otherwise stated or agreed. As a minimum, at least 3 sessions are recommended. Low-cost counselling is offered for a maximum of 8 sessions in order to give more people, especially those on low-income, access to therapy. If you wish to continue after this, you will move to the standard fee rate. Limited appointments are available at a fixed time on a specific day each week, subject to my availability. The offer is for counselling / talking therapy only. No other therapies will be undertaken during these sessions. There is no means testing, the offer is available to all. It simply relies on honesty and session availability.
