FAQs
What is the cost of a session?
Each therapist offers a different service, so their prices differ accordingly.
An introductory session with Chalanie is $15,000 (up to 90 mins) and each follow up session is $10,000 (50-60mins).
An introductory session with Jessica is $9,500 and each follow up session is $8,500 (both 50-60mins).
We accept payment via bank transfer, cheque, or cash. We do not accept credit/debit cards.
What does an introductory session look like?
Chalanie’s intro is with the parents or guardians only of the client. She takes a thorough history of the presenting problem as well as an overview of the family. Note: for young people age 18 and older, the intro can be with or without parents.
Jessica’s intro is with the individual adult client, and a thorough history is taken in order to explore how the presenting problems can be meaningfully resolved.
Are you offering face to face meetings?
Yes, we are. Per our current health and safety guidelines, we require proof of COVID-19 vaccination for all meetings held in person. Masks are still required to be worn during the session.
​
Is a virtual meeting an option?
Yes! We offer both virtual and face to face meetings. We accommodate local and non-local clients via virtual meeting platforms. Note: we meet via secure platforms and do not record our virtual meetings.
Can you help with emergency situations?
​
No. We are not equipped to support any form of psychiatric or mental health emergency. If you or someone you know intends to hurt themselves or someone else, go to the nearest emergency room for assistance.
​
Do you offer any other services?
Yes. We facilitate group and corporate workshops that can be tailored to the specific needs of the organisation. These workshops can be virtual or in person. Please email info@centredja.com with details of your request and we will let you know if it can be facilitated.
We also offer a digital course that provides practical tools to reduce stress. You can find more information here.
What's the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specialises in mental health issues. A psychologist (like us) is a clinician who treats mental health issues with non-medical interventions. Psychologists and psychiatrists often work together to tackle different aspects of the same issue.
Do you do assessments and/or diagnose disorders like ADHD?
No, we do not offer assessments and we do not diagnose such disorders.
