Online Therapy in Nova Scotia

Virtual sessions are held through a secure online platform called Jane. You’ll receive a link to your appointment by email 30 minutes before your session begins. You can join directly through your web browser on any device. If you’re using a phone or tablet, you’re also welcome to download the free Jane app, though this isn’t required. For virtual ART sessions, I recommend using a device with a larger screen (e.g. 11 inches or larger), as this can make the eye movement process more comfortable and effective. When you receive your link, you’ll have the option to test your audio and video—I recommend doing this in advance to help avoid any delays. To get the most out of your session, it’s important to be in a private, quiet space where you feel comfortable speaking openly. If any technical issues come up, a simple fix is often to leave and rejoin the session.

Yes—while I’m based in Ontario, I’m registered with the Nova Scotia College of Social Workers and able to provide virtual therapy to clients across Nova Scotia. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out or book a consultation to learn more.

My fees are $175 for a 50-minute session and $265 for an 80-minute session. Services provided by a Registered Social Worker are covered by many extended health insurance plans. Since coverage varies, I recommend contacting your provider directly to confirm. Helpful questions to ask include: Do I have coverage for services provided by a Registered Social Worker? How much coverage do I have available per year? What percentage or amount is reimbursed per session? Is a referral required? What information is needed on the receipt for reimbursement? I do not offer direct billing. After each session, you’ll receive a detailed receipt that you can submit to your insurance provider. Payment is accepted by credit card.

The relationship between you and your therapist is one of the most important factors in a meaningful and effective therapy experience. While my About and Approach pages can give you a sense of how I work, the best way to know if we’re a good fit is to connect directly. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can ask questions, share a bit about what you’re looking for, and get a feel for whether this feels like the right space for you.
