How do I know if I need therapy with Dr Glisenti?
If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, eating behaviours, or navigating the complexities of autism, therapy can offer relief and strategies for improvement. Dr Glisenti’s expertise in these areas provides a supportive healing and growth space.
What can I expect during the first session with Dr Glisenti?
In your initial consultation, Dr Glisenti will discuss your concerns, goals for therapy, and how therapy can be tailored to meet your needs. This session is an opportunity to establish a connection and outline a personalised treatment plan.
How long does each therapy session last, and what are the fees?
Each session lasts 50 minutes. The initial consultation costs $280, and subsequent consultations cost $260. We discuss your eligibility for Medicare or private insurance rebates.
Do you offer telehealth sessions?
Where appropriate, the service may be provided by telephone or video conferencing. You are responsible for the costs associated with setting up the technology needed so you can access telehealth services. The Moderation Clinic will be responsible for the cost of the call to you and the cost associated with the platform used to conduct telehealth services. The consultation cost is payable over the telephone via Visa or Mastercard at the end of the session.
How do telehealth consultations work?
To access telehealth consultations, you will need access to a quiet, private space, the appropriate device (e.g., smartphone, laptop, iPad, computer with a camera, microphone, and speakers), and a reliable broadband internet connection. The privacy of any form of communication via the Internet is potentially vulnerable and limited by the security of the technology used.
What are the limitations of telehealth consultations?
A telehealth consultation may be subject to limitations such as an unstable network connection, which may affect the quality of the session. In addition, there may be some services for which telehealth is not appropriate or effective. Your Moderation Clinic practitioner will consider and discuss the appropriateness of ongoing telehealth sessions.
Is everything I say in therapy confidential?
Confidentiality is paramount in our practice. Information shared in sessions is confidential, with exceptions only as required by law, such as court subpoenas or immediate safety risks. With your consent, information may be shared with other professionals or agencies for your benefit.
What is your cancellation policy?
We understand that circumstances can change and that occasionally you may need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Where possible, we ask that you provide at least two working days’ notice so that the appointment can be offered to another client.
Where insufficient notice is provided, the following cancellation fees apply:
• Two or more working days’ notice: No cancellation fee.
• One working days’ notice: $149.05 cancellation fee.
• Cancellation on the day of the appointment: 100% of the scheduled consultation fee.
• Non-attendance without notice: 100% of the scheduled consultation fee.
For the purposes of this policy, working days are Monday to Friday, excluding Queensland public holidays. Notice is calculated according to working days before the scheduled appointment and the scheduled appointment time.
Where clinically appropriate, you may be offered the option of changing an in-person appointment to a telehealth consultation rather than cancelling.
Cancellation fees are private fees and are not eligible for a Medicare rebate. Outstanding cancellation fees may need to be paid before further appointments are scheduled.
We recognise that illness, emergencies and other unexpected circumstances can occur. Where a cancellation fee is requested to be waived due to illness or a medical reason, a medical certificate from your referring GP is required.
The Clinic will waive the late cancellation fee on a maximum of two occasions where an appropriate medical certificate is provided or where the Clinic otherwise agrees to waive the fee due to exceptional circumstances. After two such late cancellations, all subsequent late cancellations will be charged at the full scheduled consultation fee, regardless of whether a medical certificate is provided.
Examples:
For a Monday appointment at 9:00 am, notice provided before 9:00 am on the preceding Thursday will not attract a cancellation fee. Cancellation after 9:00 am on Thursday or on Friday will attract a $149.05 cancellation fee. Cancellation on Monday will attract the full scheduled consultation fee.
For a Wednesday appointment at 2:00 pm, notice provided before 2:00 pm on the preceding Monday will not attract a cancellation fee. Cancellation after 2:00 pm on Monday or on Tuesday will attract a $149.05 cancellation fee. Cancellation on Wednesday will attract the full scheduled consultation fee.
Public holidays may affect these timeframes.
