What can I expect in my first therapy session?
In our first 60 min session, we’ll explore what brings you to therapy and what you want to get out of it. We'll discern how often we will meet. I usually see clients biweekly, as this provides a good balance between relational consistency as well as giving an opportunity to assimilate and integrate the work. I do see some clients monthly as well, this depends on your needs. We can arrange a time to review progress, which is generally after 8 sessions.
What forms of payment do you accept?
My fees for, both, in-person and online counselling are CAD 133
For payment, I accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express, with added credit card fee, or e-transfer to marina@intobeing.ca without extra charge.
I offer direct billing to many insurers. You can check if you do qualify by clicking here: Services. Otherwise, you can present a receipt of your payment to your Extended Health Benefits provider for reimbursement.
Please be aware that 24-hour notice is required for cancellations and rescheduling. The full fee is charged for missed sessions or late cancellations.
Do you offer a sliding scale?
Yes, I offer a sliding scale ($90-$120) based on household income.
Which Extended Health Benefits providers will reimburse your services?
After each payment, a receipt will be issued for you to submit to your Extended Health Benefits provider for reimbursement. You can inquire beforehand whether they'll cover services from a counselling therapist registered with ACCT reg. #3040 and CPCA reg. #4261.
