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?
