Individual Counselling and Psychotherapy
$140 (tax inclusive)
Individual counselling and psychotherapy sessions afford people an opportunity to explore a variety of concerns. These can include anything from stressful life transitions and difficulties in interpersonal relationships to diagnosed mental health disorders and resulting distress. Depending on what best suits your particular circumstances, sessions may focus on helping you unpack your past negative experiences, helping you work through your present-day challenges, or helping you develop skills that you can carry with you in the future.
The therapeutic process is different for everyone, so there is no way to predict how many sessions you may need. However, the goal is ultimately to help you reach a point where you feel capable of managing life’s challenges on your own.
All psychotherapy services provided by Alexandra Medland, RP, follow the established professional standards set forth by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), which are available at https://www.crpo.ca.
Secure Teletherapy
Teletherapy*, also referred to as distance or virtual therapy, occurs when a client and their therapist are in different locations and engage in the therapeutic process using an electronic or virtual platform.
While virtual services are not suited for every person, there are many benefits to teletherapy. Sessions are easy and convenient to fit into your schedule and can be completed on your phone or computer as long as you have access to secure, private internet. While we have come far in reducing the stigma around mental health challenges, some people still feel uncomfortable and worry about being seen in the waiting room while accessing in-person services. Virtual therapy services eliminate the risk of running into anyone you know.
Virtual services are great for those who do not want to worry about commute times, or for those who live in remote areas where there are a limited number of therapists available. Virtual services are also beneficial for those with mobility challenges, limited transportation options, or chronic fatigue. Those with chronic pain also benefit from virtual services, as sessions can be completed in your own home where your tools for pain management are more easily accessible.
