FAQS

As a Certified Music Therapist in Canada and Counselling Therapist in Alberta, we follow Standards of Practice and are bound by a Code of Ethics. We use music within a therapeutic relationship to help people change and grow. To be certified, we have completed a degree in Music Therapy, a 1000 - hr internship and a certifying exam. We also engage in continuing education and supervision to stay updated with current research and practices.  

Our first 2-3 session will consist of an assessment to fine tune goals, interventions and session plans. You might talk, sing, create, write, play and listen to music. We will support you in order to make your experience a fulfilling one. No previous musical training or experience is necessary. Just come with an open and willing heart to try new things. 

This will be a phone or video call with you and your therapist. It is a chance for your therapist to get to know your reasons for seeking therapy at this time. We might go over:

• Your reasons for seeking therapy

• Your music preferences

• How music therapy can support your goals

• Setting up our first session or a referral to another healthcare professional.

At this time we do not offer direct billing. However we do offer receipts with the approved information on it for reimbursement from your insurance provider. Please check with your insurance provider to see what you qualify for. 

We require at least 24-hour notice for all cancellations. Cancellations within the 24-hours and no-shows are subject to your full session fee. We are also understanding of circumstances beyond your control, so please reach out.

We believe that therapy should be affordable and accessible for everyone. If the session fee is a barrier, please reach out to us about our sliding scale options.
