Q:  Will my privacy be protected?

A:  Yes.  your serviced in our office are considered confidential just as with any other health care setting.

Q:  What are the fees for the services at the Centre?

A:  The fees vary depending on the type of services.  A sliding scale is available for those persons who can demonstrate financial need.  Call for specific fees.

Q:  Will my health insurance cover the cost?

A:  Possibly.  For traditional/allopathic services such as psychotherapy and clinical massage therapy your health insurance may cover some of the cost.  The Centre operates as a Fee-for-Service entity, meaning we provide an insurance-ready statement of service however do not file your insurance claims.  This allows us to keep the fees reasonable and accessible to a greater number of people by avoiding the significant expense of working directly with insurance providers.

Q:  If I am interested in Psychotherapy, how long will I be in therapy?  How long does each session take?

A:  Wouldn't it be nice if we all knew just how long our journey to self awareness would take?  Unfortunately, that isn't usually how it works.  The duration of psychotherapy is a highly individualized determination and is made jointly by the therapist and the client.    Each individual session is traditionally 45 to 50 minutes long.  Extended sessions are also available.

Q:  Why does the Centre offer Hypnosis?  Isn't that a little 'out there'?

A:  Hypnosis is an effective treatment approach for a very broad range of needs and goals.  The scientific community has tested the use of hypnosis and has been able to measure changes in brain activity for control groups using hypnosis as a treatment modality.  The results vary depending on the individual and the treatment goals.  For some, hypnosis appears to be ineffective however there is generally an identifiable explanation explaining why the approach did not produce the desired results.

Q:  Will Insurance pay for hypnosis?

A:  Flex accounts and Cafeteria Plans will almost always cover the expenses of hypnosis interventions.  Occasionally, Behavioral Health Care coverage will reimburse for hypnosis if it is part of a larger treatment plan associated with psychotherapy.  It may be best to assume this will be an expense you cover personally and to be pleasantly surprised if your insurance is progressive enough to help offset the cost.

Q:  As a Centre for Holistic and Integrative Health Care, are there other alternative treatment options beyond hypnosis?

A:  Yes.  We offer Reiki Energy Healing sessions and occasional classes for Reiki attunement.  Through the individual skill sets of each practitioner, the Centre also offers Past Life Regression therapy with credentialed practitioners, Quantam Touch Healing, Guided meditation & visualization, & spiritual journeywork from a broad range of philosophical perspectives.  Through Centre affiliates we also provide intensive marriage counseling services & EFT (an acupressure based method of releasing disruptive emotional energy).
