Frequently Asked Questions
Are your fees covered by insurance?
Our fees are not covered by OHIP. However, most extended insurance providers, like the ones offered through your employer, do cover our services. It is best if you contact your provider directly to ask. We can send through a sample Invoice so your insurer can be definitive about whether our services are covered.
What happens in the first session?
Can I work with you if I don't live in Ontario?
Yes! We may be able to provide teletherapy in your province, even if you reside outside of Ontario. Please contact us to see whether we can support you.
Do you offer video and/or in-person sessions?
Yes, we offer both options. You can choose which one you prefer and change the type of session within 24 hours.
Do you support a particular kind of diet or eating plan?
Absolutely not!!!!! We know that diets do not work long-term and that they have a severely negative impact on your relationship with food. We also believe that people have been told so many times about how to eat and what to eat. We feel that part of the therapy process is for you to determine your own relationship with food (within medical parameters, should you have an existing condition that needs to be managed through specific kinds of foods).
