Clinical / Psychological Services

I am a clinical psychologist with 20 years experience. Licensed in Ontario (#2986) and California (PSY 18522 - Inactive), I provide face-to-face counselling and therapy out of my office in Barrie Ontario, and when appropriate, one-on-one tele-therapy by phone and Internet across North America.

My Philosophy and Approach to Clinical Services

My clinical work has been informed by my training in clincial psychology, holistic health care, and mindfulnes based meditation. The result is a synclectic and collaborative approach that embraces the client within a genuine, respectful relationship.

Techniclly, my training has been most strongly influenced by the cognitive-behavior, mindfulness based, and humanistic schools, but I have integrated diverse other perspectives and techniques into these. I have found this to be a flexible, adaptive approach that I characterize as "eclectic with a vision".

If you have any questions about my clinical work or professional qualifications, or would otherwise like to discuss my availability, please contact me by phone or e-mail.

Please Note: Therapy, counselling, and coaching are related but they do differ in important ways - See How do therapy and coaching differ? For legal and ethical reasons, psychologcal services and coaching are kept separate. Although you can receive "coaching" during therapy, the reverse is not true, and should you contract with me to to receive coaching, it is important never to confuse that with receiving therapy. Acordingly, it is important that you make an imformed decision about your choice or service. If you are unsure which would benefit you most, please contact me for a free consultation.

Fees

My standard fee for face-to-face counselling and therapy is $205.00 per session, and for one-on-one tele-therapy (phone or Internet) it is $150.00 per session. Unles otherwise arranged, sessions are 50 minutes in length. I will occasionally use a sliding scale in special cases. If you believe your circumstances warrant a special rete, please contact to discuss the matter.
