Terms, Fees, & Policies
Fees
As a Registered Professional Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), I adhere to a strict standard of confidentiality and code of ethics. All the information you share is private and will not be disclosed to anyone without your written permission. However, there are exceptions when it may be required by law to share your information with the appropriate authorities, which include:
- You may be at immediate risk of harm to yourself or to someone else.
- There is a child or vulnerable person in need of protection from abuse, neglect, or danger.
- A judge orders a subpoena to release information from your file.
If you have any concerns about these matters, we will discuss them at your first session.
Each session is 50 minutes long. Any session longer than 50 minutes will be billed accordingly.
- Individual Therapy: $150.00 per hour (50-minute) counselling sessions.
- Couples and Family Therapy: $160 per hour (50-minute) counselling sessions.
This fee is to be paid before or on the day of the session.
We accept Debit, Mastercard, E-Transfers, and cash. Cheques are not accepted.
This may be covered in whole or in part by your employee health benefits or through other health insurance/extended health care coverage. You will receive a receipt that can be submitted for reimbursement from your health insurance/benefits provider.
In some cases, direct billing to insurance providers is available; however, that must be discussed at the time of booking.
It is the client's responsibility to confirm benefit coverage for Canadian Certified Counsellors, as some plans do not accept billing for CCCs.
Cancellation and no-show
When you must cancel, as much advance notice as possible is appreciated. Please call no later than 24 hours before your scheduled appointment. No charge will be levied for appointments cancelled 24 hours or more in advance. If you do not cancel 24 hours in advance, you will be billed for the missed session.
