About My Practice


Confidentiality

Confidentiality is a very important part of the therapeutic process. Therapy requires a great deal of trust and it is with the utmost importance that I take your privacy very seriously.

Before we begin we will go over the terms for Confidentiality. There are a few exceptions to this: 

  1. You give me permission to discuss the matter with other members of your healthcare team.
  2. You tell me one of the two situations:
    • Abuse or neglect of children, adults or elders
    • If you pose a threat of harm to yourself and/or others.


Telephone/Skype Sessions

Telephone and skype sessions are offered as an alternative to office visits if you are unable to attend sessions. All sessions last 1 hour in length. Couples sessions last for 90 minutes.

Please Note: All telephone and Skype sessions are treated the same with respect to payment, confidentiality and policies within the office setting.


Payment

Payment is due on the day of therapy. Payment can be made by credit card, Visa and Mastercard, Cheque, Cash or E-transfer.


Cancellation Policy

Cancellations must be made 24 hours in advance by either telephone (416.830.5285) or email (nidhi@globalvisionscoaching.com). Text messages will not be accepted as a means of communication for cancelled sessions as I do not check my phone in-between sessions.

If you do not cancel within 24 hours, there will be a full charge for the session, which may be paid via e-transfer, credit card or cheque.

The only time a session may be cancelled without being charged, would be if there was an emergency such as health, snow storm, child illness etc. If I am able to fill the session, I will not charge you.

Please make sure you are not under the influence of alcohol or drugs when coming for your therapy sessions.


Rates

A low-income (sliding scale) or student fee is available based on proof of income, however this must be discussed prior to the session.


Gift Certificates

Medication

Therapy is an important part of the healing process, and medication alone is not the answer. Underlying issues must be talked about and resolved, rather than masking them with medication. I do not diagnose you or put you on medication. I work alongside your Family Physician or Circle of Care, and support you with different techniques that will bring about positive change in your life, thereby achieving stability and growth.


Insurance

You need to call your insurance carrier to determine this. It is important to ask them the right questions to make sure you get clear answers. Some questions to ask are:

  • Do I have mental health benefits, and if yes, what are they?
  • How much do my benefits cover per therapy session?
  • Is there a specific number of sessions my benefits cover?
  • Do my benefits pay for an out-of-network provider, and if so, how much?
  • Do I need prior approval from my primary health care provider?

If you are considering working with a Coach or Therapist, please feel free to contact me.
