Frequently Asked Questions

  Therapy can give you support, validation, coping skills, and strategies to update your perspective or change your behaviours. It can give you a better understanding of yourself and your relationships. It can give you greater peace of mind and help you tolerate difficult feelings and situations. Therapists help clients facilitate their own healing process. They provide feedback, guidance and psychoeducation, rather than advice or answers. You'll hear me say, "You are in the driver’s seat of your life" and I have the skills and experience to help you get to where you’re going.

Contact me at pamela@pamgilbert.ca or 416-400-2261. My goal is to return your message within one business day. Booking your free 20-minute consult call is the first step. 

My practice moved online at the beginning of the pandemic, using a secure and easy video platform. I work with clients living anywhere in Ontario. 

It really depends on You. For some, a short period is all that's needed and for others, therapy begins a process that can take years. Therapy is most effective when you 

take what you learn in session and apply it to your daily life.

    Once again, it really depends on You – your mental and emotional bandwidth, your schedule, and your budget. In the beginning, continuity is beneficial to build a foundation and momentum. I’ll suggest what I think meets your needs but ultimately, you determine the frequency. Scheduling often evolves over time.
