Michael Haggstrom is a clinically trained therapists with over 30 years counselling experience. He is a practical and down-to-earth counselling expert with a passion to help people with their relationship, mental health and personal growth needs.

What will happen during the first counselling session?

During the first session it’s common to feel nervous. Just remember, I am here to help you. Seeking counsel can be one of the best things you’ve ever done for yourself. I will team up with you to figure out how we can help you gain clarity on what is going on and also provide methods to help you get the results you’re looking for.

How secure are online video appointments?

Very secure. I use the OnCall Health platform, that enables us to securely conduct an encrypted video session that is PHIPA/HIPPA compliant. Your security is a top priority. That is why I use only the best and most secure online tools available.

How long will the counselling process take?

Some issues may require only 1 to 4 sessions. Others can take longer, from 4 to 8. If the issues are more deeply rooted then more sessions can be needed. In the end, it depends on what you want to accomplish. I should be able to give you a general idea of duration once we’ve explored your counselling needs and expectations.

How much does counselling cost?

Dr. Michael Haggstrom’s rate is $220 per session hour (individual and couples).

Can counselling be reimbursed?

Yes it can, however, reimbursement depends on what your policy covers. I recommend contacting your insurance provider to find out what they cover.

Do you have free parking?

YES, there is free on-site parking.

How do I know if I can benefit from counselling?

Do you want to 1) experience less conflict and have more harmony, 2) stop negative thinking, heal painful memories and have more peace of mind, 3) move past obstacles and have greater happiness, 4) manage stress, frustrations or addictions, 5) develop greater confidence and gain clarity on your purpose?
If you answered yes to any of these, then counselling can help.

What are the risks of not getting counselling when I need it?

If you don’t get help, ask yourself:
• Could your personal or mental health suffer?
• Could you experience an increase in stress, anxiety, or burnout?
• Could your relationships suffer?
• Could you lose your job or a promotion?
• Could you keep struggling with addiction?
Something to Remember: Counselling is an investment in yourself. You are worth it.

I’m a business owner. Can counselling expenses be covered through my business?

As a business owner you may have several options to choose from, depending upon your coverage and the type of service requested. Such coverage depends upon your line of business, the type of service you are seeking, and current legislation. For such matters you should always consult qualified professionals, such as an accountant or tax advisor.
