New Client Info

Emily is away from the office and emails until September 2024. 

If you are new to counselling with Emily and are interested in starting sessions beginning in Fall 2024 please place your name on the waitlist (Select Complimentary Consultation). 

Emily will contact you in the Fall.

If you are considering beginning counselling with Emily please review the following:

Step One

Step 1: Find out if you and Emily are a fit 

Clients range from four to nineteen-years-old. Emily is currently not accepting teen clients (age 14 and older). 

You may learn more about counselling by setting up a Jane profile and scheduling a 15 minute Complimentary Consultation to ensure you and Emily are a good fit to work together. Parents and children are welcome to this appointment. 

Step Two

Step 2: Paperwork

If the Complimentary Consultation signals you and Emily are a good fit to work together, Emily will send the adults responsible for the child a Consent form to review before the first Parent Support appointment.  Emily will also send a Fee Agreement and New Client Information form to have completed before the first session. 

Step Three

Step 3: Scheduling

Parents of a child under the age of 13 are asked to schedule a 50 minute Parent Support appointment prior to your child's first session for treatment planning purposes.

Emily recommends children attend weekly sessions and asks parents to reserve 6 consecutive sessions (one session/week) for your child. Frequency of appointments will be discussed in the first and on-going Parent Support appointments. The goal is to reach an end-of-services date with your child and family in a state of empowerment. 

Please note: 

In most cases, parents with a child under the age of 13 are strongly encouraged to check-in each month via a 50 minute Parent Support appointment if their child is actively engaged in regular counselling. 

Emily does not provide court services but can refer you to professionals who specialize in this area if this is your family's need. Please do not proceed with services with Emily if this is your goal.
