Tynan Rheasex & relationship therapist, RP (Qualifying) & AromatherapistBroadview and GerrardSliding scale $75-$150, occasionally lower rates are availableYes, the process would be to reach out and book a free consult and we can discuss sliding scale needs and how support via exercises between sessions can help continue the healing process outside of sessions.

Yes (heads up! the link appears to be broken on the form)It is an absolute last resort and only in cases when imminent threat of death is present (i.e., the client is making threats with a weapon or has successfully harmed myself or another client or the client has named that they intend to kill another individual). Crisis intervention techniques will be the first point of action and in the case of self harm and suicide a plan will be discussed with the client early on in the therapeutic process with regard to what their wishes are for intervention (i.e., calling the emergency contact over 911). If a client were to request the police be contacted, this would be respected, as well. Babies are welcome, breast/chestfeeding is welcome, polyamorous/non-monogamous folks are welcome, safer sex materials are offered for free along with accessibility buttons for TTC. I also bring my politics to a Sex & Birth course I teach for birth professionals through Doula Training Canada. Scholarships for folks who are a part of and serve marginalized communities are available. You can learn more here: https://doulatraining.ca/courses/sex-birth-support/#1523639761325-c6c51813-8a1b

I'm a mandated reported for child abuse and neglect, client hurting themselves or hurting others. Virtual sessions using Zoom are always a great option to accommodate needs. The following is my blurb at Psychology Today: "You are my ideal client if you've tried therapy before and have found that just talking things through has not been enough to sustain a balance and satisfaction in your life. Now you are open to learning about your nervous system, and ways in which your body naturally heals itself of anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, etc.
Working at your own pace, I'll support you in regaining/boosting a sense of safety and trust in your body. Through movement, awareness exercises, and basic education about how your body processes experiences, my goal is that with every session you feel more confident, in control and at ease.
Ready to get to the bare bones of mental/physical health and wellness? Contact me to book a free 15-minute call to see if we may be a good match."
