Session Structure, Fees, and Policies

My practice is entirely virtual. We meet via the Jane secure online video platform

Before booking a therapy session, I offer a 25-minute meet-and-greet (no cost). This is an opportunity to meet each other, ask questions about what therapy might look like together, and assess whether we are a good fit for each other.

Regular sessions are typically 50-minute sessions (cost: 150$). I also offer pro-rated session lengths (e.g., 25-minutes, 75-minutes, or 100-minutes) if that fits better for your needs.

Sliding Scale/Reduced Cost Sessions

*All of my sliding scale spots are currently full. I will update this page as spots become available.

I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots in my practice. Please email me to receive information about eligibility guidelines. 

Paying for Sessions

Payment is due at the end of sessions via e-transfer to debra@begreeted.ca.

Insurance

Our sessions may be covered by your extended health insurance plan (e.g., through your employer or school). Check if your provider covers Registered Psychotherapists (RP).  

Once session payment is received, I will issue you a receipt. You can submit this receipt to your extended insurance provider for reimbursement. 

Cancellation & No-Show Policy

Except for in the case of extenuating circumstances or predetermined arrangements, cancellations within 24 hours of your session will incur a late fee equal to the session fee.

Accessibility

I strive to make my practice accessible for those with different types of support needs. For example:

  • Turning your camera off is always an option

  • Closed captions are available for sessions

  • There is no requirement to show up “put together” (e.g., feel free to show up in pyjamas!)

  • Some flexibility around cancellation (e.g., based on needs and arrangements made ahead of time)

  • A session agenda or session summary sent to you before/after we meet

  • Consistent or flexible appointments depending on preference

  • No eye contact or sitting still required

If you have accessibility needs not mentioned above, email me at debra@begreeted.ca and let me know. Hopefully we can find an arrangement that works for both of us.
