Questions before you begin.

If something isn’t answered here, the free 15-minute consultation is a good place to ask it. There is no obligation to book afterwards.

How do I know if my child needs therapy?

There’s no threshold you have to cross. Most parents get in touch because something has shifted — sleep, mood, school, friendships — and the usual reassurance isn’t landing anymore. If it’s been on your mind long enough that you’re reading this page, a consultation is a reasonable next step.

Some extended health plans may provide coverage for psychotherapy services. Coverage varies by provider and plan, so it’s best to check directly with your insurance company to understand your specific benefits and whether Registered Psychotherapist services are included.

Session fees vary depending on the type and length of service. Current fees and payment details can be discussed during your consultation so you have a clear understanding of what to expect before beginning therapy.

The complimentary 15-minute consultation is a brief, no-obligation conversation to talk about what’s bringing you in, ask questions, and see whether working together feels like a good fit. You don’t need to prepare anything in advance.

Parent involvement depends on your child’s age, needs, and the goals of therapy. Parents may be included through check-ins, guidance, or collaborative conversations while also respecting the child’s space and developing a therapeutic relationship that feels safe and supportive.

There is no set timeline for therapy. Some concerns may benefit from short-term support, while others may take more time. The pace and length of therapy will depend on your goals, needs, and how things develop along the way.
