Frequently asked questions

Your first appointment is an opportunity to discuss what has brought you to therapy and begin developing a plan that is tailored to your needs. During this session, Dr. Danielle DeSorcy will take the time to learn about your current concerns, relevant personal history, and the goals you hope to achieve through therapy.​The appointment will also include a review of informed consent, confidentiality, and how your personal information is collected, stored, and protected. Before your appointment, you will be asked to complete the online intake forms through Jane. Completing these forms in advance allows more time to focus on what matters most during your session.​Initial therapy appointments are booked for 75 minutes. This additional time allows for a thorough assessment and helps ensure there is enough information to develop an effective treatment plan. In the event that less time is required, you will only be billed for the time used.​Follow-up therapy appointments are typically 50 minutes in length. If you are participating in a psychological assessment, the length of follow-up appointments may vary depending on the specific assessment process and services being provided.

The rate for Psychology services is $250.00 per therapeutic hour (50 minutes therapy, 10 minutes for note taking).  Initial sessions are $375.00 (75 minutes therapy 15 minutes for record keeping). Many clients have extended health-benefits through employee plans which may provide full or partial coverage for services. For your convenience, e-transfer, Visa and MasterCard are accepted.

I do not offer direct billing to insurance companies, but most insurance plans offer coverage for psychological services. Upon receipt of payment I will issue you a receipt that can be submitted to your insurance provider for full or partial coverage (review the specific coverage details with your insurance provider).

Doctor's referrals are not required for an appointment. However, some insurance providers do require a referral from a Physician to qualify for reimbursement. Please check with your provider for details.

Please provide at least 24 hours notice of cancellation to avoid a cancellation fee. Cancelled appointments without sufficient notice will be charged the hourly rate and payment will be required before follow up appointments can be made.

Virtual therapy offers the same professional, confidential, and compassionate care as in-person sessions—while providing the flexibility and convenience of meeting from a location that works best for you.​Virtual therapy works best when you have a reliable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone, and a quiet, private space where you can speak comfortably.
