Question 1

I'm ready. What are the next steps?

Accepted Answer

What are the next steps?

You’re welcome to begin in the way that feels most aligned for you.

You can book an optional 15 minute exploration call. This is a space for us to connect, ask questions, and feel into whether this feels like a good fit to move forward.

Or, if you already feel ready, you can skip the exploration call and book directly into your first session.

Before we meet for our first session, you will receive a short consent form to review and sign. It is simple and straightforward. I do not require an extensive amount of personal information upfront.

If you have any questions prior to booking, feel free to email me at candice@solterratemple.com

Question 5

Are you covered by my insurance?

Accepted Answer

Every insurance plan is different. Please check with your provider to see what your plan covers. Specifically, you want to see if a Canadian Certified Counsellor with the CCPA is covered. You may also want to check how much is covered per session, and per year.

I do not offer direct billing. You are provided an invoice after each session with all of the necessary information to submit a claim. Sessions are paid for by creditcard or e-transfer, and your provider reimburses you.

Question 6

What does a session with me look like?

Accepted Answer

Every session is unique - we are honouring where you are on your journey and what you want or need in each session.
​
Together, we move slowly, gently, intentionally.
​
We start by orienting to what’s alive for you right now — what’s happening in your body, nervous system, emotions, thoughts, and relational field. From there, we follow the threads that want attention.

​
Our general session flow typically looks like:
​
• we begin by landing into the body + nervous system

• we explore what’s present for you that day (emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually)

• we track what shows up in real time — sensations, thoughts, patterns, protective parts

• we follow the thread of where your body and energy actually want to go

• we integrate what shifts — so you can leave feeling more clear, more regulated, more you

And, depending on what you’re needing that day, our work may include:
​
• a safe space to talk - to explore your thoughts, feelings, patterns, and gain insight and clarity

• somatic/body-based attunement + nervous system tracking

• guided imagery and visualization

• inner child + parts work

• energy healing + clearing

• embodiment practices (breath, gentle movement, grounding)

• mindfulness + nervous system practices

• journaling prompts + integration practices between sessions
​

Question 7

Can you work with clients in any province or country?

Accepted Answer

For therapy/counselling services, I can work with clients across most provinces in Canada.

For non-therapy/counselling services, I work with clients across all of Canada, the United States, and worldwide.

This is because therapy is more regulated than other healing modalities. Therapy is highly restricted based on therapist and client location, even when services are offered virtually.
