Confidentiality

My goal is to provide you with the highest degree of confidentiality possible. I want you to know that it is safe to talk about what is most important to you because I believe this is necessary for growth and recovery.

Fee & Payments

My hourly rate has increased.

Payment Options: You can send my fee through JazzCash.

Ideally, paying for therapy will motivate both you and your therapist to work hard so you can accomplish your goals in a timely fashion. Payment helps to create a sense of equality, partnership and reciprocity between you and your therapist. Furthermore, payment for services helps to distinguish between therapy and a casual conversation. You might not want or expect drastic life changes to occur after a casual conversation with someone you’ve just met. However, if you’re paying for that conversation, you are more likely to consider some of the important questions in therapy: What do I want from this? What is this worth to me? Am I getting what I paid for? Your answers to these questions are the “fuel” that drives recovery!

Cancellation

I require a 48-hour notification to cancel a session for any reason. If you provide this advance notification, I will not charge you for the session. If you do not provide me with a 48-hour notification, you will be charged for the missed session. If I can fill your slot at the last minute, I will not charge you for the canceled session, even if you give me less than 48 hours notice. If I miss or have to cancel an appointment, you will not be charged.

Phone Call

In certain cases, you may need to call me if a problem develops between sessions. For example, if you’re experiencing a medication reaction or suddenly feel suicidal, I want you to call me right away. If an at length phone consultation is needed, I will charge for the time we spend together at my usual rate, based on the length of the call (If it is upto 10 minutes, you will not be charged). Often, I can schedule additional sessions with you at the office or online within a day or two of your call if you need extra help. Sometimes, hospitalization recommendations may be helpful and will be given.

I hope you will keep phone calls between sessions to a minimum, because, as you can imagine, I also need time to unwind. This allows me to be at my very best when I see you. If you think you will need to call me frequently between sessions, we should discuss this at the initial evaluation. If you believe you are having a life-threatening emergency and are unable to contact me or the psychiatrist covering for me for any reason, you should go to the nearest emergency room.
