Frequently Asked Questions

  • Many extended health care benefit plans cover the services of a Registered Psychotherapist or Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). Please confirm with your benefits provider that this coverage is available to you. If so, my invoice will be able to be submitted for reimbursement to your health care benefits provider.

  • Zinta offers both virtual services across Ontario, and in-person services in Woodstock, Ontario (starting December 1st!).

    Megan’s services are 100% virtual.

  • Megan’s rate is $135 for a 50-minute virtual session.

    Zinta’s rate is $130 for a 50-minute virtual or in-person session. Zinta also offers in-person couples’ therapy, which is $150 per hour-long session.

  • A standard individual therapy session is 50 minutes long.

    Under certain circumstances we may offer longer sessions. For instance, an initial couples’ therapy session is usually 80 minutes long, or an intensive EMDR session may also be scheduled for more than 50 minutes.

  • Sessions that are cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice will be subject to a charge of half of the session fee. A session cancelled with less than 2 hours’ notice will be charged the full fee. Please be aware that some insurance providers may not provide reimbursement for missed sessions.

  • We always collaborate with our clients about treatment goals and track progress towards those goals. This means that your therapist will make decisions with you about your goals in therapy, how to achieve them, and when to terminate therapy. Everyone’s path is unique, but your own therapeutic progress and trajectory can be discussed with your therapist at any time.

  • Most clients will meet with me every week or every other week. Often it makes sense to meet every week at least for the first 3-5 sessions to establish a therapeutic relationship and build some momentum, however, every client is different and your therapist can discuss the various options with you.

  • Payment is requested by e-transfer. Credit cards are kept on file only for the rare event of a missed payment or missed cancellation fee.

  • Virtual sessions are conducted through our practice management platform, Jane. Jane’s video platform is secure and fully compliant with privacy legislation. It does not require anything to be downloaded to your computer, but you will be provided with a link via email prior to each session.

  • EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It has been shown to offer rapid improvement in symptoms of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress. It is particularly useful for nervous system dysregulation (for instance, experiencing physical symptoms of anxiety or trauma), as these can be difficult to treat with “talk therapy” alone. Virtual EMDR is offered by Megan.
