FAQs

 
  • A Qualifying Registered Psychotherapist is a therapist who has completed their graduate-level training in psychotherapy and is in the process of completing the required clinical hours to become fully registered. They are registered with their regulatory body and are authorized to provide therapy services.

    They work under the supervision of an experienced, fully licensed psychotherapist and regularly review their clinical work to ensure they are providing safe, ethical, and effective care.

    Choosing to work with a Qualifying Registered Psychotherapist can be a great option, as they bring current knowledge, strong clinical training, and ongoing professional support through supervision.

  • We require at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment to avoid being charged. Changes made less than 24 hours before your session will incur a full cancellation fee (100% of the session cost).

    To cancel or reschedule, please contact your therapist directly using the phone or email provided in your appointment confirmation.

  • All sessions will be conducted online through Alodia Therapie’s secure video platform. Participants are encouraged to use a desktop or laptop computer to ensure the best possible experience. The Alodia Therapie platform can be accessed on a range of supported devices.

    Planning to travel? Participants are required to attend virtual sessions from the province listed as their primary residence at the time of registration. This is because the group facilitator must be licensed to practice in the province where the participant is physically located during sessions.

  • Complimentary session is 20 min long to get to know your therapist and see if we are a good fit. Individual Therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes long. In some cases, your first session with the therapist will be a little longer.
    Therapy can be either short-term or long-term, depending on the client’s needs and goals. This is something you can discuss with your therapist, and together you can regularly review and adjust the timeline and progress as needed.

  • Therapy is not one size fits all because it is shaped around you, your story, your needs, and your pace.

    Some sessions may involve talking things through, making sense of difficult emotions, or noticing patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Other times, we may explore practical tools to help you feel more grounded in your everyday life.

    Sometimes, therapy is simply about having a space to slow down and sit with something difficult, without having to carry it on your own.

    I will help guide the process, but you are always at the centre of the work. Therapy is a collaborative space where we move at a pace that feels safe, supportive, and right for you.

  • Not at all. Reaching out for support takes courage, not weakness.

    Therapy is not about being broken or failing. It is about giving yourself space to better understand what you are carrying, make sense of what feels difficult, and care for yourself in a more intentional way.

    Asking for help can be one of the strongest things you do. You do not have to go through everything on your own. Therapy can be a space where you feel supported, understood, and gently guided at a pace that feels right for you.

  • Friends or Family can be an important source of support, but therapy offers something different.

    Therapy gives you a space that is just for you. A space where you can speak openly without worrying about being a burden, being judged, or needing to protect anyone else’s feelings.

    It can also help you better understand patterns, make sense of what you are feeling, and find new ways of coping that feel more supportive and sustainable.

    Sometimes, having an outside perspective and a space that feels safe, confidential, and grounded can make all the difference.
