Why should I pay for therapy?

Therapy is an investment both financially and emotionally.  It requires you to commit fully to a challenging and rewarding process. It’s your choice if you decide to invest the money into your growth and mental well-being through psychotherapy and hire a psychotherapist. Like other professional businesses we have expenses and pay for our lives and feed our families from our work. We are not government funded. 

For every one hour of time we spend with you, there are at least five hours of non-paid time and expenses for us to show up with skills and be present with you.  As with any profession there’s requirements from our College for clinical paperwork, ongoing training, supervision, personal growth,  costly membership fees, business fees, and marketing to mention some. In addition, we pay out of pocket for extended health care and do not get paid when we are sick or need our own mental health day!  This we do willingly because we love our job and so we do charge.  

Also, through experience, we know that there’s a limited number of people with whom we can work and still show up and be present and effective.  When we take you on as a client we commit to the process with you. That means we care a lot!  The caring is free, nobody pays us for caring. It’s part of being human.  You pay for our training, experience and expertise. 

We take this work seriously.  We make sure we take the measures needed within our own life, professionally and personally, to show up as fully and consistently as we can to work with you through challenging yet vital territory. 

If the fee is prohibitive, we’ll help you explore ways to prioritize your spending so it becomes more feasible. Consider if your mental well being falls under a “want” or a “need” in your budgeting.  Often times we prioritize dining out,  a new outfit, expensive gifts or holidays over our mental well-being.  What would it be like to prioritize your mental wellness?  

We do offer reduced rates.  If we don’t have availability at a reduced rate, we’ll connect you to other services that may be more affordable.  Fortunately, there are options!  Within Ontario you have choice. You can access free options, government funded options and there may be other therapists who do have reduced rate availability if we do not. 

How is my privacy protected?

We’re obsessed with securing your privacy and confidentiality. We use a state-of-the-art technological operation, and infrastructure, with one thing in mind: protecting your privacy and safeguarding the information you provide.

Our privacy and confidentiality standards are, by far, more advanced than what is required by law or regulations, so you can feel safe and comfortable.

Please let us know if you have any questions about this.
