Yes. Services delivered via phone or video have been shown to be just as effective as face-to-face treatment with added benefits,  from being able to do sessions from the comfort of your own home.

Additional benefits of virtual treatment may include:

1. Saving money and time from not having to travel (or worry about parking)
2. Increased anonymity
3. Good option for remote areas where access to treatment might be limited
4. Increased accessibility for people with mobility challenges
5. More convenient overall

Our first meeting is an initial assessment where we discuss your history, current concerns, and goals for therapy. It is also an opportunity for us to see if we are a good fit and for you to ask any questions about how I work.

Many extended health benefit plans cover services provided by Registered Psychotherapists. I recommend contacting your insurance provider to confirm your specific coverage details and any annual limits.

The duration of therapy varies depending on your unique needs and the complexity of the goals you wish to achieve. Most clients find some relief after a few sessions, with most seeing results in a few months of focused work, while others prefer ongoing support for deeper personal growth.
