FAQ

Common questions, answered.

What happens in the free 30-minute consultation?

The consultation is a relaxed conversation, not a clinical intake. We talk about what's bringing you here, what you're hoping to work on, and whether we feel like a good fit. There is no pressure to book a follow-up. If we are a fit, we'll schedule your first full session together.

How do I know if I actually need therapy?

There isn't a threshold. People reach out with everything from "something feels off and I can't name it" to clear, long-standing patterns they're ready to address. If you've been thinking about therapy at all, that's already information worth taking seriously. The free consultation is a no-pressure way to figure out if working together makes sense for what you're carrying.

I've tried therapy before and it didn't help. Why would this be different?

Fit matters as much as method. Many people who feel therapy didn't work for them had a therapist who wasn't the right match, or an approach that didn't fit how they process. Niousha works integratively, drawing on mindfulness-based CBT, somatic interventions, and trauma-informed care depending on what's most useful for you. The consultation is where we figure out together whether this is likely to land differently.

Where do sessions take place?

All sessions are online, by secure video. You can attend from anywhere in Ontario. For couples work, both partners need to be physically located in Ontario at the time of the session. You'll receive a private video link before each appointment.

How long are sessions and how often do we meet?

Standard sessions are 45 minutes. Most clients meet weekly to start, then move to bi-weekly or as-needed once the work has rhythm. The cadence is something we decide together based on what's most useful for you, not a fixed schedule.

How much do sessions cost?

Individual psychotherapy sessions are $180 CAD for 45 minutes. Couples therapy is $220 CAD for 45 minutes. The initial 30-minute consultation is free, with no obligation to continue. Receipts are provided after each session for insurance reimbursement where applicable.

Do you provide receipts for insurance?

Yes. After each session, you'll receive a receipt with my CRPO registration number that you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Most extended health plans in Ontario cover Registered Psychotherapy. Check with your insurer for plan-specific coverage and limits.

Is what we discuss confidential?

Yes. Therapy is confidential, with the limited exceptions Ontario law requires (risk of imminent harm to self or others, suspected abuse of a minor, or a court subpoena). We'll review confidentiality together in our first session and I'll answer any questions you have.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Life happens. I ask for at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule a session without charge. Cancellations within 24 hours are billed at the full session fee. The free consultation can be rescheduled at any time, no fee.
