Ahurewa Psychotherapy

Where healing is for the heart, mind, body and soul.

Consultation

 

Your healing journey begins with your willingness and a FREE 15 minute consultation session. The aim of this session is to have a better understanding of your struggles, goals, and values that can support in creating suitable strategies and support for success during and after sessions.

Confidentiality

 

I would like to ensure you that everything we talk about will remain confidential as Social workers/Psychotherapist are obligated to protect their client’s privacy by law; with some exceptions such as:

  1. When the client poses an imminent danger to themselves or others, and breaking confidentiality is necessary to resolve the danger.

  2. When the therapist suspects child, elder, or dependent adult abuse.

  3. When the client has directed the therapist to share information about their case.

  4. When the therapist receives a qualifying court order.

Insurance coverage

 

Insurance coverage works for your psychotherapy appointments if your carrier covers a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with a M.S.W. When you pay me, I will give you a receipt, which you submit to your insurance company in order to be reimbursed. I do not submit invoices to insurance companies. Please check your coverage by asking the following questions:

  • Does my plan provide out-of-network reimbursement for mental health?

  • Is there a deductible I need to meet before you will start to reimburse me?

  • How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

  • What percentage of the fee do you cover?

Cancellation Policy

 

Please make every effort to attend your scheduled appointment. In the event that you need to cancel, you must provide at least 24 hours advanced notice. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice for any reason will require payment of $120.

Please note, I will not engage in sessions with anyone when they are driving in a moving vehicle whether they are alone or with anyone else driving. This is to ensure both confidentiality of client and therapist, to ensure your physical safety and the safety of others on the road and to create a space where you can feel free to explore your emotions without other distractions and others listening in. If you come into our virtual session while in a moving vehicle, I will decline the session and you will be charged the full fee.
