​

How many sessions will I need?

Predicting the number of sessions needed varies from person to person, depending on the circumstances.

​

Please note that psychotherapist and social worker sessions are not covered under the O.H.I.P plan currently.

 

Review your benefits package with your private insurance plan to ensure coverage details with your extended insurance plan. We provide an receipt for each session upon payment which you can use for reimbursement.

​

In what languages do you offer services?

Currently, we provide services in English and Turkish.

​

Is virtual/video therapy effective?

Online therapy, particularly video sessions, has gained prominence, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research indicates its effectiveness is comparable to traditional in-person therapy, offering added accessibility, time efficiency, and financial advantages. While we primarily provide video therapy, we can also offer services via phone in case of temporary Wi-Fi or device accessibility issues. Please let us know if you have a preference.

​

What technical equipment do I need for online therapy?

To access our video therapy sessions, you'll need an internet-connected electronic device with a microphone and video camera (e.g., computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone). Headphones are optional but may be preferred. Ensure access to a private space for confidential conversations. While online therapy is user-friendly, some basic internet and device skills are beneficial, details we can discuss during your free 15-minute consultation to ensure you're well-prepared for sessions.
