Contact information and how to make an appointment

Beth Mares Registered Psychotherapist

For a prompt response, email Beth's gmail, beth.toronto.

Doctors offices may fax 416-694-4180 or leave a message at 416-699-5515. Please speak slowly and clearly. The fax only works when the secretary is in.

Making an appointment

First look over the application form (or the fillable application form)to make sure that you are eligible for the service and comfortable with the arrangements. If you are filling in the form, please note that your form is an official medical record, so each person must fill out a separate form, even if coming as a couple.

Then e-mail Beth's gmail, beth.toronto, putting COUNSELLING in the subject line. If requesting an appointment, give enough information about the times and days you are usually available. Beth will tell you the current fees. (Mention it if you are First Nations, as you might be eligible for free therapy.) You do not need a referral.

Once a time has been arranged, fill out and send the application form(s) and an email cheque for the fee to Beth's gmail, beth.toronto. (You send an email cheque via your online banking on your bank's website.) Send them promptly to nail down the time slot.

For future sessions, payment needs to be made 48 hours ahead for office appointments and 24 hours ahead for online appointments.

Precautions when sending an email
Emails and phone messages are not secure. If you need to ask a question that involves sensitive personal information it should be sent in a password-protected attachment. To password-protect a Word document in Windows, go to file>info>protect document. OR get a free ProtonMail account and email Beth's protonmail address, beth.mares.
