We’ll spend 15 minutes talking about what you’re looking for, how I work, and any questions you have. You can take time afterward to decide whether you’d like to book a session.
What if I don’t know what to say in my first session?
You can start with what’s been on your mind or what made you reach out now. I’ll guide the conversation with questions, and we’ll talk about what you’d like help with.
Can I come to therapy even if things aren’t at a breaking point?
Yes. People reach out for all sorts of reasons, from feeling stretched thin to wanting to understand a pattern that keeps coming up at home or in relationships.
Online appointments
How do online sessions work?
You’ll join by video from a private place in Ontario where you feel comfortable talking. A phone, tablet, or computer with a reliable internet connection works. Headphones can help if you share your space.
Do you see clients outside the GTA?
Yes. Anbu Care offers online therapy across Ontario. Sessions are available in English and Tamil.
Couples and family concerns
Do we have to be married to book couples therapy?
No. Couples can reach out while dating, engaged, married, or navigating a change in their relationship.
What if my partner is unsure about couples therapy?
You can use the consultation to ask how couples sessions work and talk about what each of you would need to feel comfortable getting started.
Can I talk about family pressure or in-laws in individual therapy?
Yes. You can talk through family expectations, the guilt that can come with setting boundaries, or how family dynamics affect your relationships.
Fees and insurance
How much does a session cost?
Individual therapy is $150 and couples therapy is $170. Both are 50-minute online sessions.
What should I ask my insurance provider?
Ask whether your plan covers psychotherapy with a Registered Social Worker (RSW), what your annual limit is, and whether couples sessions are covered.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Review Fees and Policies and confirm the notice period and any applicable charges before your first appointment.
