Health Insurance

Some insurance policies have a provision for voice therapy and may fund several sessions with a Speech-language therapist. Discuss this with your insurance provider to check your eligibility.

Initial assessment sessions typically take an hour. 

Therapy sessions can last from 30 minutes to an hour depending on your needs. 

I understand unforeseen circumstances may occur resulting in sessions needing to be cancelled. Due to the nature of my work including preparation and planning for each session as well as it being difficult to fill spots easily when cancellations occur I have the following cancellation policy. 

• If you need to cancel an appointment, please give us at least 24 hours notice. You can contact me via email or phone. This will allow me to offer the time to another client. 
• If you need to cancel within 24 hours, a 50% cancellation fee will be applied. 
• In the event of a no-show or last minute cancellation (within 2 hours of your scheduled appointment) the full fee will be charged. 

I appreciate your understanding and support with this policy.
