Sessions

Please note that I am now accepting NEW clients for individual and group therapy.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY:

Current clients are welcome to schedule in through the online calendar system for their sessions. If you are a NEW client and feel that my approach would benefit you, please email contact@mind-bodyhealth.ca and ask for the “questionnaire” to complete. I will review this to determine if my approach will be of benefit to you. Individual therapy sessions are 60 minutes, either face-to-face and/or telephone/video consultation.

GROUP THERAPY:

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) classes (utilizing Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) protocols and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) are being offered intermittently depending on the waitlist. This 8-week program (2.5 hrs per week) are group classes that teach mindfulness meditation and stress reduction techniques. This trains the conscious Mind, the brain, and the body/nervous-system to work as a team in your daily life with more awareness and conscious control. See the “Counselling & Psychotherapy Approaches” page to learn more about MBCT and if it may benefit your stress, depression, anxiety, or even PTSD. Please email contact@mind-bodyhealth.ca for additional details.

Fees and Payments

A brief phone consultation is available if you would like to ask a few questions before booking in for the first session. This extra time is available upon email request and not during your first session.

Please arrive 10 minutes early for your initial appointment if you would like to complete the intake form in the waiting area.

A few words from Kyle about the sessions and confidentiality.

Finding a therapist that is a ‘good fit’ for you and making the decision to reach out for that first consultation can be difficult and even overwhelming for many people. My initial goal for therapy is to create an environment that allows you to comfortably explain your situation while also making efficient use of our time together, so that you feel it is quickly making a positive impact on your life. To assist with this I can email (if you request) a questionnaire to complete before arriving. You can complete as much or little of the form as you like and bring it to your first session. This will provide me with insight into how your specific situation is impacting your life. Please let me know if you would like this questionnaire.

Our first consultation will be 60 minutes and we will first cover some brief formalities, determine some of your goals, discuss events that you consider relevant and formulate a plan of action. Your sessions are confidential, your file is confidential, and all aspects of your identity will be kept confidential from any co-workers that may also be visiting my office. All aspects of confidentiality will be discussed at the beginning of your first session to ensure your comfort with the process.

Booking Your First Appointment.

Please use the 60-minute session tab to book all appointments. If you would like to complete some of the paperwork before the first session please email kyle@mind-bodyhealth.ca and request the questionnaire that can be emailed to you.
