Sometimes, reaching out and taking someone’s hand is the beginning of a journey. At other times, it is allowing another to take yours. Vera Nazarian

In the event of a crisis, call the Distress Centre at (416) 408-4357, or call or go to your local hospital’s emergency department and ask them to page someone on the crisis team for you.

Every night from 8:00 pm to midnight, a confidential and anonymous support service for adults is provided by calling 416-960-9276.

If you need therapy support, you can:

• Contact another therapist of your choice; and/or talk to your Family Doctor.
• Call the student clinic at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto (GIT) (416) 964-9464, ext. 63. The GIT Clinic has a standard fee of $40.00 per hour.Please note that the clinic intake coordinator will take you  through the intake process before assigning a therapist. Student therapist will get back to you within 5 days.
• I may be available for Skype/VSee sessions (ivabtherapy). To schedule a session, email me using “Session Request” in the subject line and make sure to suggest a few convenient meeting days/times. I will typically reply to such requests within 24-48 hours. Fees for Skype sessions are the same as fees for in-person counselling and are payable by e-transfer. NOTE: With Skype, as with all forms of electronic communication, confidentiality cannot be guaranteed.
