I primarily support parents and children (under 12). Majority of the parents I see are mothers.

Yes. If your extended health benefits cover mental health professionals, likely there is coverage for Social Work. Most insurance companies seek either a Registered Social Worker and/or a Masters of Social Work and I hold both designations.

This is not a current offering. After a session, upon payment, you will be sent a receipt that should be used to claim your reimbursement through your extended health benefits (where applicable).

Item description
-
Parent involvement is an important part of the therapeutic process with a child. Parent(s) are usually more involved in the first session and then regularly will check-in at the beginning of a session and/or the end of a session.

My belief is if you are having the thought of what working with a Social Worker would look like (for yourself or your child), schedule a meet and greet call. Curiosity has emerged from somewhere and having a chat can satisfy that curiosity. Emotional and Mental Wellness has been more and more normalized over the past few years. It is very rare that a child comes in thinking there is “something wrong with them” as I find this is more of the stigma we adults are still working through.
