Frequently Asked Questions
How long will I be in therapy?
The course of therapy differs for everyone.
Rebecca will work with you to develop a plan that is suited towards your unique needs, goals, or desires.
How often are sessions?
Typically, clients have sessions weekly or biweekly. However, this is something that you and Rebecca will have a conversation about at the beginning of your journey as well as throughout. There is no rule or fixed agenda.
What if I don't have a mental illness?
Therapy is not just for those living with mental illness. It's best to think about mental health support (counselling, therapy) as a routine part of self-care - just like meeting with a personal trailer or having a routine check up with a GP.
How do I know if I could benefit?
Some of the signs that may indicate it would be in your best interest to pursue professional support include:
-
strained relationships
-
feeling like (or knowing that) your emotions are out of control
-
experiencing poor sleep or insomnia
-
feeling "not like yourself"
-
hearing it from others
-
more negative feelings than positive ones
-
relentless anxiety
Where will my sessions take place?
Since 2021, Rebecca's services are offered entirely online via what's called Jane.
The platform that is used to host these video sessions is user friendly and safe and secure.
I'm not in Ontario. Can I still become a client?
Absolutely!
Just keep in mind the following:
1. Rebecca's practice follows the professional and ethical guidelines outlined by the CRPO
2. You may or may not have insurance coverage
3. The time zone!
Does OHIP cover the cost?
Unfortunately, OHIP does not cover the cost of psychotherapy.
Many employee/private insurance plans provide some amount of coverage.
You are encouraged to reach out to your insurance provider directly for more information on this front.
Upon payment, detailed receipts are provided for each session.
These can be submitted to insurance or with your annual taxes.
Does Rebecca do CBT?
Cognitively behavioural therapy - otherwise known as CBT - is one of many therapies Rebecca uses with clients.
