See below for the most popular consultation topic areas:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Substance Use Health
You already have experience with CBT for Depression, Anxiety, and other conditions. But what if there are concurrent substance use issues?
Learn how to integrate CBT for substance use with other CBT techniques and programs for clients facing complex, intersecting issues.
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
MI skills erode after 6 months of training unless there is ongoing coaching and feedback.
Experience personalized MI coaching. Complete, discuss, and debrief interactive exercises tailored to your unique work environment and role. Receive practical feedback and concrete, real-world strategies to strengthen your practice and improve outcomes for the people you serve.
Supervising CBT and/or MI with Diverse Learners
Supervision can be one of the most important and rewarding parts of a clinical role, yet many helpers step into it without formal training or structured support. This service offers practical, individualized guidance to help you build confidence as a supervisor, support learners from a range of professional backgrounds, and navigate complex supervision situations more effectively.
FAQs

Similar to the recommended fees by the BC Psychological Association guidelines for pricing, fees for services are set at $255 per therapy hour (50mins). Please note that consultation services are not GST-exempt, unlike other Psychological services, however often these expenses can be claimed as a business expense. Please consult CRA or your accountant for more information.
Consultation sessions are 50mins in length (10mins for additional documentation). Services can also be pro-rated based on time required in 10-minute increments at one-fifth of the hourly rate ($51/10mins).
If you/your organization has a limited budget we can work together to figure out what options might work so you can get the most out of our time together. That might mean exploring grants, sliding scale options, or reduced fees for longer contracts. It could also mean supplementing our work with workbooks, manuals, or other free/low cost services so that we focus in on the trickier “stuck points”.

Cost is one barrier for ongoing professional education- but often getting there can be another. Finding training and/or education close to home or work, taking additional time off work to travel to a session, fighting traffic, rushing to find and pay for parking- all of this can be stressful and even add to the list of things that are already difficult with your work. I provide services virtually, using an end to end encrypted provider (Jane app, Doxy, MS Teams, or Zoom) so that you can attend from the convenience of your own home or office. Jane is similar to Zoom, Facetime, or other services you already use. You get a link via email about 30mins before your appointment- click the link and voila! You are connected and ready for your appointment!
In person consultation groups and sessions can be discussed and arranged as needed.

You may be able to claim any fees as a business or education related expense on your taxes. Please consult with your own accountant and the Canada Revenue Agency for more information.

The Jane app is used for our virtual services. You will receive a link to your appointment approximately 30mins before it starts. You can connect through your computer, cellphone, or tablet device as long as you have a working camera, speakers and microphone. For tips on connecting, go here.

Yes. It is best practice that provision of any professional service includes clear explanations of possible risks, benefits, confidentiality expectations and fees. You may see a sample consent I use for professionals here. We can tailor it to your unique situation and service requirements.
