Frequently asked questions

Are we HIPAA Compliant?

Yes, we use doxy.me - a simple and secure telemedicine plaform. They are HIPAA, GDFR, PHIPA/PIPEDA and HITECH compliant. This meets all the worldwide security requirements.



Will your insurance cover therapy sessions?

Grigenas Counselling & Consulting is covered by various health plans to provide therapy. An insurance receipt will be provided for the submission of the claim upon your request. If you are not covered by your insurance, it may be helpful to know that we accept e- transfer, cheques or cash. It is important to evaluate what resources you have available to pay for treatment, as you are responsible for the payment of fees. If your counselling sessions are covered by an insurance provider, it is your responsability to find out the extent of the coverage and to submit your own claim.



What are your areas of expertise/specialization?

I help young professionals, current students, and recent graduates feel empowered and less stressed in their high-performance environments. I guide those facing challenges in their lives, while also supporting the process of change during life transitions. Issues presented range from those experiencing depression and anxiety, suicidal ideation, eating, mood, personality and thinking disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder, OCD, PTSD, Complex Trauma, Post-Concussion, TBI and ADHD/ADD.



What is your approach to therapy?

Through skill development, I empower clients to overcome barriers through creative problem solving and assist individuals to develop insight to enhance their resilience towards accomplishing their goals. I help to develop skills and strategies in stress reduction, self-determination, self-awareness, self-care, emotional regulation and self-advocacy. You and I tailor therapeutic plans collaboratively using a holistic approach that empowers you to overcome challenges in fostering a supportive environment where meaningful change can take place.
