It’s common for one partner to feel more ready than the other. You don’t need to be perfectly aligned to begin—what matters most is a willingness to participate in the process. Therapy moves at a pace that respects both people. Part of the work often includes creating enough safety for each partner to engage more openly over time. Even if there is hesitation, it can still be valuable to start exploring what’s happening in the relationship together.

Our fees vary depending on the type of service and the length of the session. Typically: Consultation Call: Free 20 consult Individual Therapy: $120 per 50-minute session Specialized Therapy (i.e. EMDR): $150 per 50-minute session Couples Therapy: $175 per 50-minute session Payment is due at the time of your appointment, and a receipt will be provided for your records or for insurance reimbursement. If you would like, you can contact us directly for current rates or to learn more about which service may be the best fit for you.

Psychotherapy services are often covered in full or in part through extended health benefits, but coverage depends on your individual insurance plan. We recommend checking with your provider to confirm whether services with a Registered Psychotherapist are included in your benefits. Clients are responsible for payment at the time of the session, and a receipt is provided that you can submit for reimbursement if your plan allows. Because plans vary, it is always best to confirm the details of your coverage directly with your insurance company before starting.

Sessions are structured conversations where we explore your relationship in real time. This may include discussing recent conflicts, identifying recurring patterns, and understanding emotional responses as they come up. You’ll be supported in slowing down interactions so you can express yourselves more clearly and listen more openly. Over time, sessions often shift from simply describing what’s happening to actively practicing new ways of communicating, responding, and repairing in the moment.

This is completely okay—and often helpful. Therapy provides a safe, guided space where these moments can be explored rather than avoided. Instead of letting the argument escalate or shut down, we slow things down to understand what each person is experiencing. This helps you recognize patterns as they’re happening and learn how to navigate them differently, with more awareness and intention.

We kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice, or missed appointments, may be subject to a cancellation fee. This policy helps protect your therapist’s time and allows us to offer the appointment to someone else who may be waiting. We understand that unexpected situations can arise, and we aim to approach these situations with care and clarity.
