How to Book a Session
1) Let's Connect
If we have not yet met, please let me know a little bit about what you are looking for by completing this form.
2) Intake
I'll send you some brief, standard intake forms to complete online in advance of our meeting.
3) Notes on Technology
-
You can choose between video or phone for our session. For video, please ensure a stable platform for your device.
-
Please ensure you have a private place to talk.
-
Headphones help to reduce feedback noises.
-
We'll both want to ensure our devices are sufficiently charged.
-
JaneApp works best on Chrome, but if you'll be using a different browser, we can discuss other browser-based or phone-based options.
Policies
Cancellations: I do need to charge for late-cancellations, because I organize my life around upcoming appointments. Cancellations 24-48 hours of the session will be charged 50% of the fee; and within 24 hours of the session, cancellations and no-shows will be charged the full fee. In case of emergency, please let me know as soon as you can.
Confidentiality: What you tell me is entirely confidential, with the exception of three conditions: 1) if I have reason to suspect that you pose a danger to yourself or to someone else, 2) if you inform me of a child or other vulnerable person who is currently at risk of abuse or neglect, or 3) if records are subpoenaed by court order.
Email confidentiality: For privacy purposes, please be mindful of what information you share in emails to me -- we can save more sensitive details for when we are meeting in an encrypted space.
A reminder that only those who've booked a "Psychotherapy" can submit receipts for reimbursement/tax deductions. Residents of provinces other than Ontario may want to confirm coverage with their insurance provider. Other services, such as "Mindfulness-Based Consultations" and "Energy Work" sessions, are not considered psychotherapy and cannot be claimed as a healthcare expense.
Availability and Resources
I make my best attempt to reply to calls and emails within 24-48 hours, but I am not set up to provide crisis-support. If you require immediate assistance, please call 911 or reach out to a crisis line, which can provide both emotional support and connection to other helpful services:
Toronto Distress Centre
Crisis intervention, emotional support, and suicide prevention. Open 24 hours, 7 days a week.
416-408-4357 (408-HELP)
Gerstein Centre Crisis Line
