where do you provide psychotherapy services?

Currently, all my services are virtual. I offer individual therapy services online to folks residing in Ontario, Canada or Pakistan.

are the fees covered by ohip?

While psychotherapy is a regulated health profession in Ontario, it is unfortunately not covered under OHIP, OW or ODSP.

However majority of extended health benefits, do cover psychotherapy- typically in your health insurance package from your employer. I encourage you to speak with your insurance provider about counselling services provided by a Registered Psychotherapist to determine your eligibility and approved rates of coverage. I do not reimburse sessions if it turns out you do not have coverage.

are psychotherapy services covered by insurance?

I have a Master of Clinical Psychology and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (registration No. 11600, CRPO). My services are covered by the Medical Expense Tax Credit. My services can also be claimed under most health insurance plans that recognize Registered Psychotherapists. Receipts will be provided following each session for your records and for health insurance and/or income tax purposes. I encourage you to speak with your insurance provider about counselling services provided by a Registered Psychotherapist to determine your eligibility and approved rates of coverage.

do you offer sliding scale?

Accessibility to therapy is important to me. I have a limited number of sliding scale spots in my practice (at the middle and lower tier). Please see more here.

These spots are for folks without extended health benefits who are economically marginalized (unemployed, little disposable income, students with limited or no coverage, frequently experience stress about meeting basic needs, etc.) .

Before requesting a reduced rate, please consider your home ownership status, freedom to travel/take vacations without incurring financial burdens, access to savings/investments/wealth, and ability to reliably meet your basic needs.

Rates can be discussed during the consultation.

how can i pay?

I take payments via email transfer to mehfoozwellbeing@gmail.com (within Canada) and/or through PayPal (mehfoozwellbeing@gmail.com). If there is a preferred payment method that is not listed please reach out and I will do my best to accommodate.
