Welcome to my scheduler! I am a registered psychologist in both Alberta and Ontario, so when you book your appointment, you will be asked to pick your time zone (Mountain Time or Eastern Time, respectively). I have reduced my rates for telepsychology (i.e., video sessions) while maintaining my live session rate (note that I am not offering live sessions until sometime in May 2021). If you are a recent client, please email me at alderson@ucalgary.ca if you cannot find a time in my schedule that works for you. I always keep several unadvertised appointment times for past and ongoing clients.
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 with you a simple method to get you focused and ready for your upcoming session with me. These ideas are included in my co-authored book, Choosing the Right Counselor for You. I am an expert, and experts get the job done faster.
The 10-minute consultation is free. For all other appointment types, you can make payment at the start of our first session. If you decide to pay now, however, it will save us that time. You can change the appointment time yourself or cancel it if you do so 24 hours or more before the time of the scheduled session. A receipt for your session is provided on the day of your appointment.
If you are a potential new client, please see the appointment times that I have available. Please note that although I do offer family counselling, because of registration differences between provinces, I only practice limited family counselling in Alberta. Please contact me directly at alderson@ucalgary.ca if you wish to arrange a family session.
