REGISTERED PSYCHOTHERAPIST, OAMHP

INFORMATION
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?
WHO SHOULD COME TO COUNSELLING?
Counselling is both for the person who is feeling immense pain and for the person who is enjoying life and wants a place to explore further growth. Because counselling is about soul care and a place to be heard, every person can benefit from therapy.
HOW LONG DOES EACH THERAPY SESSION TAKE?
Each session is 50 minutes. I work with clients to develop a treatment plan and a course of therapy uniquely designed to fit their needs. With that in mind, counselling can last just a few weeks or go on for many months, depending on what you need to work through and your own pace and individual process.
WHAT IS THE COST OF A THERAPY SESSION?
DO YOU HAVE SLIDING SCALE RATES?
I have a limited number of weekly sliding scale appointments for those who require financial aid. Please email or call for details.
WHAT TYPE OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?
Invoices are paid by e-transferring payment to linda.gould.counselling@gmail.com using the provided password.
CAN I REMIT MY INVOICE TO MY HEALTH INSURANCE CARRIER?
As a Registered Psychotherapist, invoices are eligible for remittance for those with Counselling/Psychotherapy benefits.
DO YOU OFFER EVENING OR WEEKEND APPOINTMENTS?
In addition to daytime appointments, I offer both evening and Saturday appointments. Please call or email to inquire.
WHAT IS KEPT CONFIDENTIAL?
All information within counselling appointments are strictly confidential. Consent and confidentiality guidelines will be reviewed during the first appointment.
HOW TO RESCHEDULE OR CANCEL A SESSION?
Your therapy session is time which is reserved by you, for you. I require 24 hours’ notice to cancel an appointment without being charged. If you cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, you will be charged for the time unless we can reschedule to another time which I have available in that week. There is no guarantee that another appointment will be available.
