Understanding Therapy Costs & Payment Options

I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation before any commitment to therapy. This consultation provides an opportunity to discuss your concerns, answer any questions you may have, and determine whether my services are the right fit for your needs.

Therapy Fees:

• Individual, Couples & Family Therapy Session (60 minutes): $200
• Expressive Arts Therapy Session (60 minutes): $200
• Extended Therapy Session (90 minutes): $300
  Available for couples, families, individual or expressive arts therapy sessions requiring additional time.
• Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) Therapy Session (60 minutes): $220 
• Report Writing (60 minutes): $220

Therapy sessions are available in person, virtually, or by telephone, allowing you to choose the format that best suits your needs and lifestyle. 

Counselling services provided by a Registered Social Worker (MSW, RSW) are eligible for coverage through many extended health benefit plans. Coverage varies depending on your individual plan. I recommend confirming  your eligibility and reimbursement details before beginning services.

Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) Claims

Psychotherapy services related to an approved motor vehicle accident claim may be covered through your automobile insurance. Billing and coverage requirements vary by insurer and claim status. Please contact me to discuss your situation and determine the most appropriate next steps.

Payment is due at the time of your appointment.

Direct billing is available with many insurance providers when available and eligible. If direct billing is not available, a receipt will be provided following your session for submission to your insurance provider for reimbursement according to your individual benefits plan.

Payments outside of direct billing may be made by credit card, debit, cash, cheque, or e-transfer.

A limited number of sliding scale appointments are available for individuals and families experiencing financial barriers to accessing therapy. If cost is a concern, please don't hesitate to contact me to discuss current availability and whether a sliding scale space may be available. 

I understand that unexpected circumstances can arise and may affect your ability to attend a scheduled session. If you are unable to make your appointment, please notify me as soon as possible so the appointment can be offered to another client.

• Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with at least 24 hours' notice will not incur a cancellation fee.
• Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to a late cancellation fee, including the full session fee.
• Appointments missed without prior notice ("no-shows") may be subject to the full session fee.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation, which helps ensure appointment times remain available for clients seeking support.
