Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a sliding scale rate?
 

Yes. Knowing that therapy is often priced well beyond affordability, we offer sessions at $100/hour. Please reach out to discuss current availability for sessions at a lesser rate.

How does payment work?
 

A credit card is required to be kept on file. Payment for sessions will be processed immediately after your appointment, and appropriate receipts and invoices will be provided.

What should I expect during a consultation?
 

A consultation is an opportunity to discuss your current needs and determine whether my expertise aligns with your goals. It is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and for us to explore availability and session frequency.

Do you support children or youth?
 

We do not currently provide mental health services for individuals under the age of 19. Our parenting support services are designed to help caregivers strengthen their skills and build effective strategies to support their children at home. However, we are happy to offer referrals to other mental health professionals and services in the community that can best meet the needs of children and youth. Still have questions? Feel free to book a free consultation for more information

Does having a consultation mean I’ll be accepted as a client right away?

It does not. A consultation is an opportunity for us to connect, answer any questions you may have, and explore whether it feels like a good fit before beginning therapy. It also gives you a clearer sense of when a spot may become available, based on the current waitlist.

Can I book online?

Returning clients can re-book their own appointments online. If you are new, you can book an online consultation online or please contact us directly to see about booking your first appointment.

Do you direct bill?
 

At this time, we do not offer direct billing. However, please reach out for further conversation should this be a barrier.

Do you take insurance?
 

I am a registered provider with multiple insurance companies, including Blue Cross. Please verify that your coverage includes "Clinical Social Worker." You can submit your receipts and invoices for personal reimbursement after every session.

Do I need a referral?
 

No referrals are required. Simply reach out for a consultation to determine if Norwood Counselling is the right fit to support your current needs.

Do you offer both in-person and virtual appointments?

Yes, we offer both in-person sessions at our Kentville, NS office and virtual appointments through a secure, encrypted video platform. We're happy to provide flexible options to meet your needs and comfort.

Are you accepting new clients?

We currently have a small waitlist. If you would like to be added, please reach out. We'd also be glad to provide you with referrals to other trusted providers in the community to help you find the right support

Can I access parenting support without my co-parent or partner?

While it’s beneficial for all caregivers to engage in the same parenting support and approach, you can absolutely participate on your own. A consultation will help us explore your goals and determine the best parenting support options for you and your family.
