Frequently Asked Questions

The duration of therapy at Pursue You Psychotherapy varies based on individual needs.

Therapy can range from short- term (months) to longer-term (years) depending on presenting issues.
   

Sessions are currently offered virtually. We provide therapy through video chat or by telephone using a secure platform that abides by Ontario’s health-specific rules and regulations.

Psychological services are not covered by OHIP however, most private insurance plans through work and school cover sessions with psychotherapists. If you have private insurance it is likely that our sessions will be covered however, most of the time coverage is partial or limited meaning that you may have to pay out of pocket for part of the hourly session fee. We recommend getting in contact with your insurance to find out which professionals are covered and how much coverage you have.

Our goal is to respond to your first initial contact with a phone call or email within 12-24 hours. During that contact you can expect to set up your initial session for the following week or two, depending on the therapists availability and your preference.
