 Our standard rate for a counseling session is $150. However, we understand that financial circumstances can vary. If you need assistance with the cost, we offer a sliding scale option, which allows us to adjust the fee based on your individual financial situation. Please contact us to discuss your needs, and we will do our best to find a rate that works for you. 

We offer a wide range of mental health services, including individual counseling, couples therapy, family therapy, and group therapy. We specialize in areas such as anxiety, depression, stress management, relationship issues, trauma, grief, spirituality and more. 

The frequency of counseling sessions with One Foot Forward will depend on your individual needs and goals. Some clients may benefit from weekly sessions, while others may attend bi-weekly or monthly.

 Sessions typically last 50 minutes. However, some types of therapy or specific situations may require longer sessions. We will discuss the duration based on your needs. 

 You can easily make an appointment by calling us at 587-334-6838, or by filling out the online contact form on our website. I will reach out to set up an initial (free) 20 minute meeting. 

During the 20-minute initial meeting, the main focus is to get to know each other and determine how I can best support you. We will briefly discuss the reason you're seeking counselling, your goals, and any background information that might help me understand your needs. This is also an opportunity for you to ask questions about the counseling process, confidentiality, and what to expect moving forward. The goal is to create a comfortable environment and set expectations and determine if we are a right fit for you.
