You know that you’d benefit from therapy. That it would improve your well-being and relationships and that you’d be more successful in pursuing your goals. And yet you haven’t been going to therapy. It makes sense. You have your reasons: Perhaps you’re busy and making time to travel to and from a therapist’s office just won’t fit into your schedule. Perhaps you feel uncomfortable at the prospect of walking into a strange office. Perhaps you haven’t known how to find the right therapist. Or maybe you just haven’t known where to start.
My name is Laval Martin. I’m a registered social worker (RSW) and I hold a master’s degree in social work (MSW). I’ve been doing counseling and therapy since 2006. I believe so strongly in the power of psychotherapy to transform your life in ways that you haven’t imagined. I want to make therapy accessible for you. That’s why I’m offering psychotherapy home visits.
I’ll come to you. I want to make therapy as convenient and comfortable as possible.
I am calm, validating, non-judgmental, and also able to challenge you to become your best self. I practice Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), which balances emotions and rationality. I strongly believe that everyone can benefit from the skills taught through DBT. I use these skills myself and have found them to be highly effective.
Picture what life would be like with robust and flourishing relationships, peaceful thoughts and balanced emotions, and the capacity to handle whatever challenges come your way. Life can be fulfilling and enjoyable. You can get there. It will take hard work, make no mistake! You can absolutely accomplish this!
This is a premium service. For more affordable options, I also offer virtual sessions and you may come to my office (currently unavailable due to COVID-19).
The minimum fee for a 2 hour home visit session is $500 (depending on travel time, occasionally a higher fee may be necessary). The session may be extended for an additional $250/hr.
Many insurance policies cover psychotherapy provided by a registered social worker. Please check with your insurance provider prior to your first session to determine if you are covered.
