Frequently asked questions

  • Your first visit—often called an intake session—is a significant step. We start by reviewing your background and the reasons you’re seeking therapy. I’ll introduce my approach, explain confidentiality, and answer any questions you have about my credentials or methods.

    Most of our time will be spent discussing your concerns. If you aren't sure what your goals are yet, that’s perfectly okay; we will work together to define them. My priority is creating a safe, comfortable space where we can build a trusting relationship.


  • Getting started is simple. For your convenience, you will find "Book Now" buttons located on every page of this website. You can also call me at 604-992-5678 or email me at mike.kling@clearskiesinmind.com

    • Individual Session: $155 per 60-minute session.

    • Pre-paid Package: $650 for a bundle of five 60-minute sessions.

    Note: The discounted package is available for purchase any time after we have completed our first session together. This ensures we are a good fit before you make a larger financial commitment.

  • I require at least 24 hours' notice for all cancellations. If notice is not given (excluding extenuating circumstances), you will be charged 50% of the service cost. This allows me to offer that time slot to other clients who may be waiting for support.

  • Item descriMost extended health benefits cover counseling services. I encourage you to contact your provider to confirm if services from a MPCC-P (Master Professional Clinical Counselor - Professional) are covered by your specific plan and to understand their reimbursement process.ption

  • Building a trusting relationship is essential for effective therapy. If at any point we feel that my approach isn't the right fit for your specific needs, I am happy to discuss this openly and help provide referrals to ensure you get the support you deserve.

  • While I do not offer a sliding scale, I do offer a 5-session discount package. This package is available for purchase after we have completed our first session together.

  • To maintain the privacy and integrity of the therapeutic process, sessions are a private individual time for you. Therefore, I do not allow support persons to attend.

  • I want you to show up as your most authentic self. You are more than welcome to:

    • Use stim tools or fidgets.

    • Have a pet with you for comfort.

    • Keep your camera off if you are feeling overwhelmed or uncomfortable
