Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at admin@skerrettpsychology.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Dr. E. Rachel Skerrett is a licensed clinical psychologist and can provide official mental health diagnoses to those residing in Alberta, Ontario, and Nova Scotia. Call or e-mail our administrative staff today and tell them what you're looking for. We'll create an individualized plan for you that meets your needs. 


Referrals are not necessary to begin counselling or assessment services at Skerrett Psychology. Call or e-mail our friendly administrative staff today and they'll be happy to book your first appointment. 


This can be clarified for you after an initial consultation at our clinic. The therapist/psychologist conducting your first appointment will give you recommendations of what assessment or service to pursue based on your background, concerns, and goals.


Unfortunately, OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan), does not cover psychological services for Ontario residents at this time. Extended health benefits, including private insurance, can often pay a full or partial portion of select mental health services. 


Our staff does not have access to your personal insurance plan and so we cannot answer specific questions about how much coverage your plan includes or what it covers. If you do have questions, please contact your insurance company for your policy details. Our administrative staff will do their best to answer any other insurance-related questions. 


Information Practices

The information you provide to us is collected to provide you with optimal assessment and treatment services. All staff members are trained to keep your records private and they will collect, use, and disclose your information to other staff members only as necessary. Our privacy of personal information and accessibility service policy is also provided in our standard of care at the outset of service. 


Client records are stored electronically on a secure site. All paper records are maintained securely in a locked facility. You can access the information in your file at any time by requesting it.  Rachel Skerrett is the health information custodian for Skerrett Psychology clinics.   


Confidentiality is always respected. No information will be communicated, directly or indirectly, to a third party without your informed written consent. 


Exceptions to confidentiality include the legal and/or ethical obligations to:

  • Inform a potential victim of violence of a client’s intention to harm. 
  • Inform an appropriate family member, health care professional, or police if necessary, of a client’s intention to end his or her life. 
  • Release a client’s file if there is a court order to do so.
  • Inform Family and Children’s Services if there is a child at risk or in need of protection. 
  • Report a health professional who has abused a client.
  • Share information with the College of Psychologists of Ontario for supervision or auditing purposes.
