We do not do direct billing. After your session, you will receive a receipt via email. The receipt has all the information required for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursment.
The number of sessions required for counselling/therapy differs for each individual/situation depending on the desired outcome. Research suggests that some therapies focus on brief interventions for immediate relief, while others can take 8+ sessions to make lasting changes to life-long patterns.
In your first session, you and your therapist will discuss your wants and needs and determine the best plan for you. Sessions can be scheduled weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or as-needed according to your individual goals.

Chadwick Court is the passageway between the Seabus and Lonsdale Quay Market. It is not accessible via vehicle. If you are driving, you can park in the Lonsdale Quay Market parkade or the adjacent ICBC parkade. Walk from the Quay Market towards the water. As you leave the market, turn right. There is a building on the left. Enter through the glass doors, and head to the 4th floor. When you leave the elevator, we are to the right and down the hall.
It is our priority to ensure the personal information shared by clients is maintained with confidentiality. The information that is shared in a session may be entered into your records which are maintained by a fully encrypted and HIPPA compliant system. Your therapist is the only person who has access to your file. Information is kept confidential within the limits of the law and subject to the following exemptions:
- If you are involved in litigation, the court may subpoena your file;
- If you threaten to harm yourself or someone else, the authorities may be notified;
- If a child or vulnerable adult is being abused or neglected, the authorities may be notified.
If information is requested by another party (for example, a physician) or you initiate sharing your information with another party, you will be asked to sign a Release of Information form, consenting to the sharing of your information.
Confidentiality also applies to children and youth. While parents often want to know “how they can help,” the therapists can support parents & caregivers without directly reporting what was shared in the session, provided the child or youth consents to that conversation.
Children ages 5-9. The first appointment is with the parent(s) only in order to obtain a comprehensive understanding of your child’s situation. Please book a 15 min consult, submit your form or call the office to book an appointment.
We provide therapeutic services to support children and teens during times of family transition. Additional consent forms are required by both parents who are involved with Family Law Courts.
