Common Questions
How long is a typical session?
Most individual sessions are 50 minutes in length. This allows time for us to connect deeply while leaving a few minutes at the end for scheduling and grounding before you head back into your day.
What can I expect in our first session?
The first session is a gentle intake process. We’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, your history, and what you hope to achieve. It’s also an opportunity for us to start building the trust and connection that forms the foundation of our work together.
Do you offer online or in-person therapy?
We provide both. You can visit our boutique clinic in Calgary for a tactile, grounded experience, or meet with us virtually from the comfort of your own home across Alberta. Both options offer the same level of warm, authentic care.
How do fees and insurance work?
Our fees are aligned with the Psychologists' Association of Alberta recommendations. Many insurance providers cover psychological services; we provide detailed receipts for reimbursement and can offer direct billing for several major providers.
