Psychotherapy
Collaborative Online Therapy
For Real-Life Goal Achievement with Elaine Smookler, RP
"Ideally, everyone who seeks to feel more connected to themselves and their lives deserves the opportunity to access therapy, from wherever they are, any way they need to. My online sessions mirror this philosophy, removing travel barriers while upholding the strictest privacy standards, just as it would be in face-to-face encounters."
- Elaine Smookler
Elaine is able to offer on-line psychotherapy sessions Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST (Eastern Standard Time), and can provide potential new clients with a free initial 15-minute consultation via Zoom in order to help you decide if her services are right for you.
After that, all individual 55-minute sessions are currently priced at $125, and payable through credit card or e-transfer. Following each session, you will immediately receive an invoice and an official receipt for insurance purposes. Please note that Elaine's designation is Registered Psychotherapist (RP).
Depending upon your health insurance plan, coverage may vary, so it is recommended that you contact your health insurance provider or refer to your benefit booklet for details.
Additionally, all clients will need to have access to a webcam, a reliable internet connection, and a private space where you can speak freely. This space can be in your bedroom, a car, an office, or any location where you feel comfortable. Many of Elaine's current clients also use a headset to ensure privacy, especially if they share a space with others.
After an initial email and consultation, (and if collectively, you decide to proceed), you will be asked to complete two client forms. These forms will help Elaine determine how best to support you and to define more clearly what to expect going forward.
Through the safe portal of OnCall Health, you can easily review, sign, pay, and join the scheduled video sessions.
