Below are some of the most common questions I get asked about working together.

Dr. Rosemary Rukavina’s peaceful online therapy office, supporting clients in EMDR intensives, couples therapy, and trauma counselling across Burnaby and Vancouver

QUESTIONS?

  • I offer virtual sessions exclusively because they provide comfort, convenience, and effectiveness that in-person meetings often can't match. Virtual sessions help minimize distractions, offering a more controlled and serene environment that leads to better focus and productivity for both myself and my clients.

    Please note I can only work with you if you are in the province of BC.

  • I offer sessions on select days of the week, with some flexibility to accommodate your schedule. Understanding the nature of EMDR and couples work, I prioritize convenience and aim to provide a quick turnaround if needed.

    Please note that evening and weekend appointments are not available.

  • I don't bill third-party providers directly. Clients pay upfront, and I'll provide an electronic receipt for client’s to seek reimbursement. For specific plan details, contact your provider and ask about coverage for online therapy, reimbursement rates, and required documentation. If you have questions, feel free to ask during your consultation.

  • Weekly 50 minute sessions are $250, with adjustments for longer sessions.

    Intensive EMDR sessions are $350 per hour and provide faster, more focused treatment. A 50% non-refundable deposit is due within 48 hours to secure your spot, with the remaining balance due two weeks before the session.

  • I accept Visa, Mastercard, and electronic transfers, and provide official electronic receipts for all sessions. If you need additional documentation for reimbursement or tracking, just let me know.

  • When you schedule an appointment, the time is reserved for you. For weekly sessions, please provide at least 48 hours' notice to avoid being charged the full session fee, with flexibility for emergencies. Intensive sessions have a 2-week cancellation policy, with a full refund if canceled at least 2 weeks in advance.

  • I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation.

    Feel free to reach out to schedule, or visit my booking page to reserve your spot.

  • The duration of therapy depends on factors like your schedule, my availability, the nature of your challenges, and your engagement. Most clients complete their work in 12-16 weeks or through a 3-day intensive, though some may choose to continue addressing other concerns. My goal is to help you achieve your goals efficiently.

  • My practice focuses on therapy, with assessments conducted to guide and tailor treatment for therapy clients. If you'd like to learn more about my approach to mental health, we can schedule an initial session to discuss how I can support you.
