Single Session

Service Description

Therapy sessions can look different for each person. CBT sessions usually follow a preplanned format to address symptoms systematically. You're session might follow a structured format (e.g., check-in, review, homework/practice activities or skills, todays work, feedback and wrap up). This type of structured session helps us use time efficiently and stay on track with specific goals to provide relief of current symptoms. After initial concerns are addressed, we reevaluate progress and see if there are other areas that need attention. Emotion and relationship work takes a less structured approach and tends to be more exploratory and reflective in nature. We may chat about current relations and relationship history to see if we can identify any patterns or unmet needs. We then work together to establish boundaries or new ways of thinking and behaving that might help you improve your relationships. In both session types, we also work to identify and use your current strengths. Often it is hard to notice our own hidden talents and we all can use a bit of help being a bit kinder to ourselves. At the beginning of sessions we will discuss which options make the most sense for you and use this as a plan moving forward. We can always use combination approaches, and re-evaluate if our current work is meeting your needs. If not, we discuss this and see what the next right step might be. If family members are an important part of your healing process we may consider inviting them into a session to address specific relationship issues. However, I am not a marriage or couples counsellor and primarily do individual work. Session price: 120.00 including HST. E-transfer. All sessions are virtual at the moment. In person sessions will be available in Feb. 2023.
