If you have extended health benefits, you may be eligible to have your sessions covered. Please check with your insurance provider about your benefits.

In addition, determine if they cover Canadian Certified Counsellors (CCC) or Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCC) for reimbursement.

We offer sessions virtually via Zoom or Jane Video; and in-person at the offices of Thrive Life Counselling & Wellness.

It is highly recommended for couples to book 90 minute sessions to ensure an equitable amount of space for each partner.

One of the most important elements in the process of youth counselling is building trust. This can take time--especially in an office setting. Because of this, I like to offer "walk-and-talk" sessions as an alternative to the office setting, depending on the interest of the client. There may even be sessions where all we do is play games and focus on getting to know each other. I mention the above to hopefully manage particular expectations of caregivers who are looking for a certain outcome each session.

Being able to offer online sessions makes counselling more accessible to everyone.  While this is important and good, one of the difficulties of online sessions is access to a private and confidential space.  While this is not possible for everyone, I ask that you try your best to: 1) Inform family members, roommates or office colleagues that you are going to be in-session. This way, they know ahead of time to not disturb you.  2) Find a quiet room where you can be alone.  3) Minimize distractions and log out of any open windows, such as email, social media, or any apps that send notifications.  4) Set your phone to “Do Not Disturb” or turn off your ringer.
