Presently I see people in my home office in the Old South part of
London, Ontario
at 40 Windsor Avenue (between Wortley and
Rideout Sts.)
for individual, marital, family or group psychotherapy. I
also
see clients in a office I rent from Dr. Peter Zelina at his private
office at 29 Centre Street West in Richmond Hill, Ontario. I can
provide workshops and seminars at various locations as needed. I do
not provide emergency services and I am not a medical doctor.

For more on this, please see the services page here.

For individual, marital and/or family therapy (if someone is paying me
directly) I charge $60.00 to $90.00 per hour on a sliding scale - based
on what the person feels able or wants to pay. Let me make that more
explicit: I do not determine the rate other than it being within that
range. I let you decide what you feel comfortable paying anywhere
between $60 and $90 per hour. My group therapy prices are based on
providing a minimum fee for my services. For instance, I will be
looking to start a 1.5 hour weekly Saturday Mindfulness Beyond Your
Autopilot group. This would basically be $80 per four weekly sessions
so long as I have a minimum of 6 people. The maximum would be 10.

My services are not covered by OHIP and only in some cases would
be covered by third party insurance (i.e. through your employer, etc.)
I have a Masters degree in Counselling Psychology, so if your
employer's coverage does extend to someone with that training and
credentials, please contact your human resources department to see
what they require for you to obtain service from me and for them to
pay for my services. .

I do provide services through
SOLAREH and their Posaction
program. They offer Employee Assistance Services through certain
insurance plans with specific employers - for instance London's
French language school board system. You could check if your EAP
program is provided by Posaction/Solareh.

My rates for psychotherapy provided by telephone are also on the
same sliding scale, paid through PayPal (which can be done on the
home page of this site or just to the left here.) Psychotherapy by
phone could thus be to anyone in any area of the U.S. or Canada
where it is legal. As I have a long distance plan that covers the States
and Canada I cover any phone call cost. I'd be happy to talk to
someone for free for a first ten minute consultation for you to find out
if I 'sound right' (!) for you. See my comments about my style
here. If
someone wants detailed assistance strictly through email
correspondence I am also willing to provide that. It would also be
arranged to be paid for through PayPal.

For Workshops/Seminars please contact me directly.
