fees & insurance

$140 per 50 minutes (virtual or in-person)

$200 per 75 minutes (virtual or in-person)

Counselling services with a Registered Social Worker is tax exempt, meaning there is no added GST, as it is considered “medical profession”. As such, clients are able to claim fees as a medical expense tax deduction when filing income tax.

I accept major credit cards, or e-transfer. For credit card payments, I can keep your information on file and charge the card on the day of your session.

EXTENDED HEALTH INSURANCE

In most cases, I am able to direct bill a claim on your behalf, depending on who you have as your insurance provider. Please review your annual coverage, and check whether you are eligible for counselling services from a Registered Social Worker (RSW), Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC), or Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). I have all 3 designations, but sometimes benefits will only cover one and not the other.

You are required to pay for your portion of the session fee that is not paid by the insurer. For example, if your coverage is only 80% for counselling fees, you are required to pay $28 out of pocket for a 50-minute counselling session.

CANCELLATION POLICY

I require 24-hour notice to cancel a session without charge. If you wish to change or cancel an appointment, please provide 24 hours notice via text, email, telephone, or through the booking site. Failure to provide 24-hour notice may result in you being charged a full session fee, before you are able to attend your next session.

Please note that I make every effort to reschedule in emergency situations, but sometimes there are no available times within the same week you cancel a session.
