Couples Therapy

For Couples

When your relationship becomes distant, difficult, or distressed, it can feel like your world is falling apart. In our work together, we find ways to strengthen your relationship, reshaping it into one that feels closer, more reliable, and comforting.

For Individuals

The psychotherapy process involves developing an interpersonal relationship which strengthens and transforms your sense of self, and enhances your confidence and well-being in the world. Empowerment and growth through interpersonal connection are both the process and the goal of relational therapy.

Location

NOTE: I am currently only seeing clients via Zoom.

My High Park Psychotherapy office is tucked away behind a Victorian house on a tree lined street in Roncesvalle Village. A tiny oasis in the city. Alas you will only get to see it via Zoom :-(

Graduate

My psychotherapy training is from the Toronto Institute of Relational Psychotherapy, a three year intensive theoretical and clinical training program in relational, intersubjective and psychodynamic therapy.

Internal Family Systems Institute (IFS-I)

Certified IFS Therapist

My primary approach is an IFS one. I have completed many levels of IFS training, beginning with IFS Skills and Competencies (https://ifsca.ca/courses/). Since then I have completed the IFS Level One training through the IFS Institute (IFS training and certification is done by the IFS Institute https://ifs-institute.com) and subsequently assisted in other trainings as a Program Assistant. In addition to these trainings I have completed a Level Two training for working with couples using IFIO which is what the IFS couples approach is called (https://ifs-institute.com/trainings/level-2). Prior to shifting to IFIO I was trained in EFT couples therapy which has many similarities to IFIO.

Fees

My fee for individuals is $190 per 50 minute session + 13% HST.

My fee for couples is also $190 per 50 minute session + 13% HST but most couples therapy benefits from 75 minute sessions (in other words, one and a half regular sessions) and that is my preference. For those 75 minute sessions that comes to $285 + 13% HST.

Payments are by e-transfer.

If you have coverage for either Registered Psychotherapists (which is what I am) or Registered Psychologists (one of whom I work with and can bill through if necessary) then this fee is often reimbursable to you through your insurance company but not always; it will depend on the exact policy you have.

Cancellations require 48 hours notice or a full fee will be charged.
