Alfonso Mental Health
COMMON QUESTIONS
Unfortunately counseling services are not eligible for benefit through MHCP and medicare.
However, I am registered with most major private health funds to allow you to claim through private coverage.
I have purposely priced my services so they would align with the gap payment most people would pay when seeing a psychologist through a mental health care plan.
I want to make these services as accessible to you as I can because I believe that all of us should be able to engage with mental health support.
Yes! Finding time in your day to make it to appointments on the other side of the city can often be the one thing that prevents people from engaging with support.
Studies have shown that online support sessions are just as effective as sessions done face to face.
This is why I offer my clients the ability for phone and online consultations so that getting the support you need is easy and accessible.
Mental health support is not a linear journey with a clearly defined path and each of our journeys will look different depending on who we are.
Taking the time to understand your experiences, your current concerns and your areas of strength will allow us to create a support program that is tailored specifically to you.
I encourage my clients to provide feedback throughout the process so you can feel truly supported in the best way possible knowing that we are focusing on those things that work for you!
My clients are always welcome to email me with any concerns they may have or things that they would like to address in the following session.
Sometimes it’s helpful to write these concerns down in the moment to maintain clarity on what is concerning you and why.
However, as I see many clients, unless it is a matter of urgency, I will respond back to clients as soon as I am able and help them to properly unpack these concerns in the scheduled sessions.
Feeling lost is a part of life that most of us will experience at one time or the other.
Regardless of how good your supportive routines are, sometimes life has a way of pulling the rug out from underneath you.
One of the best parts of my job is aiding my clients in setting goals, creating direction and finding meaning in this journey we call life.
All of us are experts of our own experience but sometimes we can benefit from that bit of outside guidance.
If you’re feeling lost, it would be my honour to help you find that path you have been looking for.
The therapeutic bond between client and clinician is one of the most impactful parts of therapy.
This is why it’s so important to make sure the person you are working with is the right fit for you.
I offer all potential new clients a free 15 min discovery call so they can ask any questions they may have and give you an opportunity to better understand how I do what I do.
I want to ensure that I will be able to support you in the best way possible so this call allows us both to ensure this is a right fit for you.
