Our Services
Individual Therapy
I offer individual therapy to children, youth and adults. When working with children and youth, I use art and game-based activities in these sessions to make content more engaging. Some common treatment areas for individual counseling include anxiety, depression, suicidality, self-harm, grief, trauma, life transitions, low self-esteem, cross-cultural challenges, and emotional dysregulation.
$135 per 50 minute Session
Family Therapy
Trying to navigate family dynamics can be challenging. When working with families, I focus on trying to build understanding between members and teaching skills around perspective-taking, communication, and conflict resolution.

Caregiver Coaching
When working with children and youth, I believe an important component is providing skills and resources to caregivers. These skills can be individualized for your child’s personal circumstances. This is also helpful for caregivers who have youth who are not ready to engage in treatment themselves.
$135 per 50 minute Session
To help make therapy more accessible, I also offer reduced rates for individuals who do not have benefits or the financial means to pay the full price. Please feel free to inquire about this during the intake process.
Important Client Information
Sessions
Sessions can vary from 45-60 minutes. Sessions for younger children tend to last a bit less due to some struggling to focus for longer than 40-45 minutes.
Registrations
I am registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW).
Insurance
At this time, I do not direct bill. Once payment is received, I can send you a receipt that can be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Frequency
The frequency of sessions can change depending on a few factors. The first is the need. Some people are needing/wanting to meet on a weekly or biweekly basis to have more consistency for goals Another variable is fees and coverage. Some people have a limited amount of coverage from insurance. I do my best to discuss this limit with clients and determine what would make the most sense for your situation.
Payments
Lemons Into Lemonade Counselling accepts e-transfers (EMTs) and credit cards for payments.
Cancellations
I currently require 24 hours’ notice for any change or cancellation of an appointment. I do realize that situations and life can get in the way and therefore the first time an appointment is missed, I do not charge the fee; the second time I charge half of the session fee; and, the third time I charge the entire session fee.
