Embracing the Four Seas
Welcome to my scheduler! I am a registered psychologist in Alberta and Ontario. You will be asked to pick your time zone when you book your appointment.
PAST, RECENT, OR CURRENT CLIENTS
If you cannot find a time in my schedule that works for you, please email me at alderson@ucalgary.ca. Most appointments are unadvertised, ensuring I can readily accommodate past and ongoing clients. Like seeing your family physician, past, recent, and current clients are my first and highest priority. Your continued trust and support are greatly appreciated.
NEW CLIENTS
The scheduler is set up for new clients and tells you when I am available. Please only book one appointment. Once you are my client, I will book the appointments to ensure continuity. I do not keep a waitlist so it might be a few weeks or months until your first appointment during busy periods. I will let you know if an earlier appointment time arises and reschedule you sooner.
Please note that 25% of the session fee is charged when you book your first session through the scheduler. Subsequent appointments are billed automatically 24 hours in advance. You can change the appointment time yourself or cancel it if you do so 24 hours or more before the scheduled session time. A receipt for your session is provided on the day of your appointment.
Once you book your first session, I will email you my innovative history questionnaire and ask that you return it completed before our first session (it takes less than an hour to finish). By doing so, I am ready to begin helping you as soon as our session begins. Be aware that most therapists spend the first hour collecting your background information. I cut to the chase and save both of us this time and you this money. I will also share a simple method to get you focused and ready for your upcoming session. My co-authored book, Choosing the Right Counselor for You, includes these ideas. I am an expert, and experts get the job done faster.
