SERVICES
I provide an initial free 20-minute phone consultation. This is for you to get a sense of me and whether I might be a good fit, and for me to hear a little bit about what concerns you or your child might be experiencing.
Due to COVID-19 and the shift towards online therapy, I offer video sessions for children 10 years and older, adolescents, young adults, and parents. Phone sessions can be offered for parents and adolescents should they prefer that medium, however at least one initial video session is required. I use Zoom Video Platform.
I have limited in person availability for children and adolescents on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As a precaution for COVID-19, for all in person sessions I wear a KN95 mask, however my clients can choose to wear a mask or not.
LOCATION
My in person hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays are from 2pm- 7pm and are held at my office located at 984 Dovercourt Rd in Toronto . I am available for virtual and phone sessions from my home office on Mondays and Wednesdays all day, and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am-12pm.
FEES
$140 per 50 minute session. Payments can be made by cash or email money transfer to the email address melissahaddad27@gmail.com. I invoice monthly, and payments are due immediately upon receipt of your invoice.
I’m sometimes able to offer sliding scale rates so please inquire if you feel you are in financial need.
INSURANCE
As an RP my services may be covered under your extended insurance. Please don’t hesitate to ask me about this but it’s also advisable to check directly with your insurance provider. Psychotherapy is also an allowable medical expense that can be claimed against your taxes.
CANCELLATION POLICY
Should you need to cancel your appointment, I require at least 24 hours notice. A late cancellation will result in a a full session charge unless we are able to reschedule the session within the same week. Missed appointments will be charged a full session fee.
