Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if we’re a good fit?

I provide an initial 15-minute free of charge phone or video consult to determine if I would be a good fit for your child, yourself, and/or family. Please email or contact me at talk@mikaelapahuljecounselling.ca or 587-612-5134 for further inquiry.

What can I expect from counselling?

What you can expect from counselling is an environment that is non-judgemental and safe. As every client has different needs, your needs will be tailored to how we work together as a team. Counselling has specific goals that are attainable, measurable, and realistic. It is my job to help you reach your goals and at times challenge your goals. Changes happen when you make the change. What you put into therapy is what you will get out of therapy. It is my goal to work with you to assist and achieve your goals.

How long is a session?

  • For individuals, sessions range from 50- 90 minutes.
  • For couples and family sessions, sessions are 90 minutes.

How do I pay for sessions and can you direct bill?

I ask for payment at the time of service. If you are covered by a insurance provider, and a portion does not cover the outstanding amount, I accept cash or e-transfer. Interac-etransfers may be submitted to talk@mikaelapahuljecounselling.ca

I can direct bill to most insurance providers depending on the type of insurance.

Many benefit plan provides such as Sun Life, Blue Cross, ASEBP, Manulife, DesJardins provide coverage for individuals. Please contact your insurance provider or employer for more information regarding your coverage.

If counselling is not affordable, I do offer a sliding scale fee depending on case by case basis. Please contact me to inquire about a sliding scale fee.

Additionally, I am an Approved Provider for the City of Lethbridge Residents Counselling Subsidy.   https://www.lethbridgeica.ca/counselling
