NP Psychotherapy Services

I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

Sessions are structured around your goals both immediate and for the future; all sessions are personalized and tailored to you. We begin with a check-in, perhaps a mindfulness grounding exercise and based on your needs, various psychotherapeutic interventions may be used.

These include but are not limited to:

• Thought challenges

• Behavioural activation

• Mindfulness-based reflection

• Behaviour modification techniques

• Positive psychology exercises

• Emotion and needs identification

• Problem solving

Ideally, you will come away from each session with me better able to cope with the challenges you are experiencing and a deep experience of relief and ease.

Recommended Number of Sessions: 

Our initial session is an intake. Most clients benefit from scheduling 6-8 sessions over a 2 – 4 month period.

After this time, I typically move into a maintenance schedule with my clients. This means an appointment once per month or every other month.

Of course, life happens, and challenges arise, and you can choose to return to a more intensive schedule for a while to help support their therapeutic needs during that time.

This service is not covered by OHIP. Private psychotherapy is covered by many private health insurance plans.  In Ontario, Psychotherapy is a controlled act that members of 5 regulatory colleges including Nursing can practice. Check with your insurance company to determine eligibility for coverage for Nurse Psychotherapy as coverage may be plan-specific.
