Fees

Rates have been carefully considered through the comparison of other comparable service providers and professional level of the counselling being offered.

If you have extended health benefits through an insurance plan, it must cover counselling services under "Registered Social Worker". Some Benefit packages will cover a certain number of sessions or a dollar amount. Please consult with your benefit provider with respect to your specific coverage.

Please inquire about reduced rates for veterans and retired members.

E-transfer, credit card, cash, or certified cheque accepted. You will be required to provide a credit card number in the online client portal to secure your session and ensure payment for late cancellations or no shows.

A 24 hour notice of cancellation is required to avoid a charge for the full rate of the session. No shows are subject to full session rate.
