Individual Therapy
SESSIONS
Individual psychotherapy helps you to learn about yourself. We work through behavioral, communicational, thought and relational patterns. Therapy is useful when you need clarity on your values and overall direction in life, but sessions can also be used as a safe place to de-stress and work through trauma and other complex, unresolved issues. Individual therapy sessions offer clients a place to discuss things that weigh them down, from present issues to things from your past, or both. The first session will be mainly used to get to know you and to create a clear understanding of your presenting problem.
Availability: Mon-Thurs, 9am-4pm

Privacy and Confidentiality Policy
All interactions with psychotherapy services, including scheduling of or attendance at appointments; content of your sessions; progress in therapy; and your records are confidential. You may request in writing that specific information is released about your therapy to persons you designate. Information about you will not be released without your signed consent.
EXCEPTIONS TO CONFIDENTIALITY:
Where the therapist believes on reasonable grounds that disclosure is necessary to eliminate or reduce significant, imminent risk of serious bodily harm (includes physical or psychological harm) to the client or anyone else, e.g. suicide, homicide.
Where disclosure is required under the Child and Family Services Act, 1990 for example, where the therapist has reasonable grounds to suspect that a child is in need of protection due to physical harm, neglect or sexual abuse by a person having charge of the child.
Where necessary for particular legal proceedings (e.g. when the therapist is subpoenaed).
To facilitate an investigation or inspection if authorized by warrant or by any provincial or federal law (e.g. a criminal investigation against the therapist, his/her staff, or a client).
For the purpose of contacting a relative, friend or potential substitute decision-maker of the individual, if the individual is injured, incapacitated or ill and unable to give consent personally.
To a college for the purpose of administration or enforcement of the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991.
If there is any disclosure of abuse by a regulated profession at any point in your life, a therapist is required to report this to their regulatory college.
There may be times when your therapist consults with other therapists to provide the best possible care. In these cases, no personally identifiable information will be used to discuss your case. The persons with whom they consult are legally bound to keep information confidential.
Emergency Procedures
Emergency Services are not available. If an urgent mental health issue arises please contact the Canadian Mental Health Association’s 24/7 crisis line at 519-433-2023 or 1-866-933-2023 or visit their walk-in crisis centre located at 648 Huron St, London, Ontario, N5Y 4J7.
