Joanne Masiokas Counselling
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, I am taking new clients.
Yes, counselling by videochat has been shown to be just as effective as in-person sessions for non-crisis situations.
The fee for a 60 minute counselling session is $140, however I do offer a sliding scale to help make counselling affordable for people who are unable to afford the full fee. Payment can be made by credit card or e-transfer .
Counselling services may be fully or partly covered by many insurance plans. If you have extended health benefits, check with your insurance provider to see what coverage is available for counselling provided by a Registered Professional Counsellor (a member of the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association).
Yes, I also help people with other issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, chronic stress, grief and loss, and relationship issues. If you would like to find out if I can help you with your concerns, feel free to set up a free 20 minute phone conversation with me. I’d be happy to talk with you about how I may be able to help.
Sessions must be cancelled more than 24 hours from the session start time, otherwise you will be charged the full fee for the session.
Not at this time. I offer counselling sessions by online video or phone. This makes working with me quite convenient, as you can have your sessions from the privacy and comfort of your own home. It also saves time as you don't need to travel to and from appointments.
Once you have booked an appointment you will be sent an email with easy to follow instructions.
