FAQs
How does confidentially work?
Basically, whatever you say in therapy, stays in therapy. However, there are times when a therapist is legally obligated to break confidentiality:
Harm to self or others. If a therapist believes that you are in imminent danger of hurting yourself or someone else, a family member, police or ambulance will be called to ensure safety.
A child under the age of 16 or older adult in care is in danger. In these cases Family and Children’s Services or the police will be called.
Your files are subpoenaed by the court or by the College of Registered Psychotherapists.
A client experienced a health emergency during a session. In this case, medical staff would be provided only with necessary information. No information about why a client is in therapy will be shared.
How long does therapy last? What is the timeline?
Every client is different, with different needs for the amount of time they will be seeing a therapist. We will work with you to develop the best plan of services.
Why would I want to talk to therapist?
People usually decide to talk to a therapist when the pain of what they are trying to cope with becomes too big for them to handle on their own and they recognize they need help.
What happens during a session? Do I have to lie on a couch?
Lying on a couch is no longer required. Instead, clients come into an office (that’s usually quite comfortable) and talk to the therapist. Sometimes the therapist will have a plan for what to talk about during that session; at other times, the client drives the conversation.
