Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect when beginning therapy?
Embarking on the journey of therapy may feel daunting at first, but our aim at RMJ Therapy is to ensure a seamless and comforting process. Upon arrival, you’ll receive a warm welcome and a friendly smile. We’ll then proceed to obtain your written consent, ensuring you understand and agree to the risks and benefits involved. Discussions will cover your autonomy, confidentiality, and its limitations throughout the therapy sessions.
Initial sessions serve as assessments, allowing your therapist to gather comprehensive information about you and your therapeutic requirements. As trust and rapport gradually develop, we’ll collaboratively craft a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and concerns. Importantly, you’re encouraged to openly address any topic you feel comfortable discussing; there’s absolutely no pressure to delve into areas you’re not yet ready to explore.
How long does therapy take?
The concise yet unsatisfying response is that there’s no “one-size-fits-all” timeframe for therapy; it’s entirely subjective to each individual client. Engaging in therapy entails a readiness to contemplate the themes and challenges addressed in sessions beyond the therapy room. This extent varies based on your specific concerns. Together, we can devise a customized plan that suits your needs and goals.
How often should I attend?
Once more, it’s essential to emphasize that this varies from client to client. The frequency of sessions is influenced by numerous factors, including the severity of the presenting issues, financial considerations, insurance coverage, and the progress achieved. Once your goals have been achieved or your presenting issues addressed, you have the option to conclude sessions or delve into other emerging areas of focus.
Some individuals may opt to continue therapy for ongoing self-care, setting smaller goals with less frequent sessions. Moreover, if you ever find yourself in need of support in the future, you can always reach out to your therapist, who will meet you wherever you are in your journey.
What are your fees?
Individual 50 minute sessions are $180, while a couple 50 minute session is $200. Our fees include tax. Payment is to be made prior to the start of your session.
Do you accept insurance?
Psychotherapy is typically included in the coverage of most insurance companies. Following each session, you’ll receive a receipt that can be used to file an insurance claim, allowing you to be directly reimbursed by your insurance provider. It’s advisable to consult your insurance company for detailed information, as coverage for psychotherapy may differ depending on your plan. Currently, we do not offer direct billing services.
How can I pay?
We accept payment most major credit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express, as well as e-transfer. If you choose to pay via e-transfer, payment must be sent prior to your session.
Do you provide virtual sessions?
Yes! At the moment, we only offer virtual and telephone sessions.
What is your cancellation policy?
We understand that life can be unpredictable, and unforeseen circumstances may arise. We kindly request that clients notify us of any appointment cancellations 48 hours in advance of their scheduled session. Failure to do so, or not showing up for the appointment, will result in being charged the full session fee, notwithstanding illness or emergencies, of course.
Each session is reserved specifically for you, and your therapist invests time and effort into preparing for it. We encourage accountability, communication, and checking in to ensure the best possible experience for both you and your therapist.
How long is each session?
In Ontario, a standard psychotherapy session typically lasts for 50 minutes. However, we also provide the option of extended sessions lasting 75 minutes or 90 minutes. The fees for these longer sessions will be prorated accordingly.
