Terms of Use

The information provided on this website is for general informational purposes only. It is intended to help visitors learn about Sage & Sow Counselling, psychotherapy services, and how to contact or book with the practice.

Information on this website does not constitute medical, psychological, legal, or other professional advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for individualized assessment or treatment.

Sage & Sow Counselling provides virtual psychotherapy services. Standard appointments are 50 minutes, with longer appointments available by prior agreement.

Submitting a contact form, sending an email, visiting this website, or requesting an appointment does not by itself establish a therapist-client relationship. A therapeutic relationship begins through the appropriate intake and informed-consent process.

Services are provided using secure video or telephone technology. Clients are responsible for participating from a location that is reasonably private and safe.

Because professional requirements differ between jurisdictions, services may not be available when a client is physically located outside the area in which the therapist is authorized to practice.

The standard fee for a 50-minute psychotherapy session is $120. Letters, forms, or reports are $45, unless another fee is agreed upon in advance. Payment is due immediately following the appointment.

Accepted payment methods include debit card, credit card, and Interac e-Transfer. Sage & Sow Counselling does not provide direct billing to insurance companies. Receipts are provided after payment and may be submitted to an insurance provider for possible reimbursement.

Clients are responsible for confirming their individual insurance coverage. Reimbursement cannot be guaranteed.

Please provide at least four hours’ notice when cancelling or rescheduling an appointment.

Appointments cancelled with less than four hours’ notice, as well as missed appointments, will ordinarily be charged the full session fee. Exceptions may be considered for emergencies or exceptional circumstances at the therapist’s discretion.

Email and text messaging should generally be used for administrative matters such as scheduling, billing, and forms. These communication methods may carry privacy risks and are not continuously monitored. Psychotherapy is not ordinarily provided by email or text message.

Please avoid submitting highly sensitive or urgent clinical information through ordinary website forms, email, or social media.

Sage & Sow Counselling is not a crisis or emergency service.

If you are in immediate danger or require urgent assistance, call 911, go to your nearest emergency department, or contact an appropriate crisis service such as 988: Suicide Crisis Helpline.

Website messages, emails, and booking requests should not be used for emergencies.

Your privacy is important to Sage & Sow Counselling. Personal and personal health information is handled in accordance with the practice’s Privacy Policy, applicable professional standards, and Ontario privacy requirements.

Please review the separate Privacy Policy for information about how personal information is collected, used, protected, and disclosed.
