A Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) (RP(Q)) is a clinician in the process of becoming fully licensed under the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). As an RP(Q), I am qualified to provide psychotherapy services under clinical supervision while completing my licensing requirements.

Although this may vary depending on your unique circumstances, a first session will typically look like us getting to know each other better, and me asking some questions to better understand your goals, thoughts/feelings, history, and needs.

Therapy can be intimidating, especially if it's your first time. Rest assured that you will be welcomed in a non-judgemental and confidential space. My aim is to make sure you feel safe, and this means we can move at whatever pace you need - you can share as little or as much as you are comfortable with.

I require 24 hours notice for cancellations in order to avoid a full cancellation fee. This policy is designed to honor your well-being and time while also respecting the needs of other clients, and fostering a consistent therapeutic environment for everyone involved.

Currently, all sessions are paid via etransfer. I ask that you please send payment to lolabtherapy@proton.me in advance of each session unless otherwise discussed.

After each appointment you will be emailed a receipt for your records. If you are using insurance you can submit this receipt to your insurance provider directly for reimbursement.

My services are not covered by OHIP, however, many extended health plans offer coverage for psychotherapy and if you are under an insurance plan, I encourage you to connect with your benefits provider.

Most insurance plans cover sessions with licensed psychotherapy providers. However, each plan is different.

It's best to check with your provider to see if they cover visits with a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), which is my current title. I do not offer direct billing, so you'll need to submit your receipts to your benefits provider after each session for reimbursement.

You can book a session by contacting me via email at lolabtherapy@proton.me

I trust your discernment around need for low cost/sliding scale spots, I do not need more information than your indication of need.

I do however have limited low costs spots, and they are filled on a first come basis, so please inquire about availability.

No referral is required to book a session with me. You can contact me directly to schedule an initial consultation.

Finding the right therapist is the most important part. If you feel that we’re not a good fit, that's completely okay! Your comfort and trust are essential in therapy, and it's important for you to work with someone who feels right for you. If this happens, I can provide referrals to other therapists or resources that may better suit your needs. Your well-being is my top priority, and I'm here to support you in finding the right path forward.
