Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about counselling and psychotherapy at The Healing Theory.
How Do I Know if I Need Therapy?
+There's no single answer to this question. Many people find therapy helpful when they're experiencing emotional distress, struggling with relationships, dealing with a major life transition, or simply want to understand themselves better. Common reasons include anxiety, depression, grief, past trauma, relationship difficulties, or feeling stuck. If you're wondering whether therapy might help, our free 15-minute initial screening is a great way to explore this with a professional.
What Should I Expect in My First Session?
+Your first session will typically include a detailed assessment of your background, current concerns, and goals. We'll ask about your mental health history, relationships, work, and any specific issues you'd like to address. Your therapist will explain their approach, discuss confidentiality, and work with you to establish what you hope to achieve. It's normal to feel nervous, and we encourage you to ask any questions you have.
Is Everything I Share Kept Confidential?
+Yes, confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapeutic practice. Everything you share with your therapist is strictly confidential. There are only a few legal exceptions where we're required to break confidentiality, such as if there's immediate risk of serious harm to yourself or others, or in cases of child abuse. Your therapist will discuss these exceptions with you in your first session.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
+This varies greatly depending on your concerns, the depth of issues you're exploring, and your goals. Some people benefit from short-term focused work (4-6 sessions), while others find longer-term ongoing therapy more helpful. Your therapist will give you a realistic estimate after your initial assessment and will regularly review your progress with you. Therapy is a collaborative process, and we'll adjust the plan as needed.
Is Counselling Covered by Insurance?
+Many extended health benefit plans do cover counselling and psychotherapy. Coverage varies by plan, so we recommend checking your individual policy or contacting your employer's benefits coordinator. We can provide receipts for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Some of our practitioners may also be registered with specific insurance networks. Feel free to contact us to discuss your specific situation.
Do You Offer Couples or Family Therapy?
+Yes, we offer both couples and family therapy. These sessions are designed to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships. Our therapists are trained in working with couples and families and create a safe, neutral space for all parties to be heard and understood. Couples and family sessions are 75 minutes in length.
What is Your Cancellation Policy?
+We ask for at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Late cancellations and no-shows may be subject to a fee. We understand that life happens - if you're running into a barrier getting to the clinic, call us and we'll do our best to find a solution that works for you.
