Question 1

What does psychodynamic therapy involve?

Accepted Answer

Psychodynamic therapy helps you notice the hidden threads that keep showing up in your life. Together, we explore your inner world, early experiences, attachment patterns, and the feelings you may have learned to hold in silence. As those patterns come into view, you can make room for new ways of relating, coping, and growing.

Question 2

Where do you provide psychotherapy sessions?

Accepted Answer

provide psychodynamic psychotherapy online to clients throughout Ontario. Virtual sessions are conducted over a secure, privacy-compliant video platform, ensuring a confidential and comfortable therapeutic space from your own home.

Question 3

What happens in our free initial consultation?

Accepted Answer

During our free initial consultation, you and I take time to talk about what brings you here, what you’re hoping for, and whether working together feels like a good fit. It’s a low-pressure conversation, not a performance. Think of it as a first step into the room: a chance to slow down, ask questions, and see what feels possible.

Question 4

Can you use insurance to claim therapy with me?

Accepted Answer

Coverage depends on your extended health plan. Many plans do cover psychotherapy with a Registered Psychotherapist, but I encourage you to check directly with your insurer so you know exactly what your benefits include. If you need a receipt or supporting details for a claim, I can help you with that after your session.

Question 5

Is Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and evidence based treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, psychodynamic psychotherapy is considered an evidence-based treatment. Numerous peer-reviewed studies, clinical trials, and meta-analyses demonstrate that it effectively reduces symptoms for a wide range of mental health conditions, with benefits that often endure or grow long after treatment ends. Research published by organizations like the American Psychological Association shows that psychodynamic therapy is as effective as other major psychotherapy modalities (such as cognitive behavioral therapy) for common conditions like depression, anxiety, and somatic distress. Unlike some short-term symptom-focused interventions, studies indicate that patients continue to improve and develop emotional insight after therapy concludes, due to its focus on structural personality growth and root causes.
