What is the difference between Therapy & Coaching?

Therapy primarily focuses on mental health specific concerns (ex. anxiety, depression, PTSD), and the treatment of mental health symptoms using evidenced-based psychological interventions.

Coaching, on the other hand, is goal focused with an emphasis on shifting your mindset and empowering you to take action. Using psychology-based tools and strategies we develop personalized action steps to move you forward on your path towards your desires.

How long are sessions & How often will we meet?

Therapy & Coaching - 60 minutes

The frequency of sessions is dependent on your unique needs and goals. Typically, I recommend weekly or bi-weekly sessions for individuals who are experiencing more significant symptoms or want to make quick progress towards their goals.

Monthly sessions work best for clients who are needing a refresher or a check-in to maintain their progress.

What are your Credentials?

I have a master’s degree in clinical psychology with a specialization in trauma from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology (2012).

I am a fully-licensed therapist with the College of Alberta Psychologists - Registered Psychologist #4642 (2016).

I am also in the process of obtaining Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) licensure in Illinois. (TBD)

Coaching does not require licensing or registration, however, I utlize the same professional ethics and standards within my coaching practice in order to ensure my clients can expect the same high level of quality and trust.

What Are your fees?

$230 per 60 minute session.

Do you accept Insurance?

Yes and No.

To keep it simple. I do direct bill for most insurance providers in Alberta for therapy clients. (If you are in Alberta and have questions about insurance, please don’t hesitate to ask).

Coaching is not typically covered by insurance in Canada or the US as it is not considered a medical service. Some employers may offer a wellness plan that does allow for reimbursement of coaching fees.

Do you offer in-person Sessions?

Yes! I am now booking in-person sessions for new coaching clients located in Naperville, IL and surrounding area.

Alberta client sessions are phone & video only.
