Fees & Insurance
Fees
Hourly fees for counselling are $150.00/hr.
For rates related to Consultation, please contact me directly.
All services are GST Exempt.
Insurance/Coverage
If you have extended health care benefits, your insurance plan may provide full or partial coverage for social work counselling services. Insurance companies are not billed directly, but detailed invoices and receipts are provided so that you may readily seek coverage for your expenses.
Client’s are encouraged to obtain information directly from their insurance companies regarding extent of coverage.
Registered Clinical Social Workers are also recognized as medical practitioners under the Income Tax Act. This means you may claim your counselling or your family member's counselling on your income tax return.
Third party billing may be available for:
Eligible claimants under the Crime Victim Assistance Program.
First Nations Health Authority Mental Wellness Programs.
Specific Ministry of Children and Families programs (such as Autism Funding)
Payment
Cash, personal cheques, and E-transfers are accepted.
Unfortunately, I am unable to accept debit/visa cards at this time. Payment is expected at the time of the appointment unless alternative arrangements are made in advance.
Cancellation Policy
Please provide 24 hours notice if you need to change or cancel appointments.
If you do not show up for your scheduled appointment, and appropriate notification is not provided, there will be a fee. Cancellations within 24 hours of the appointment will be billed in full.
Please note should you feel ill, and there is less than 24 hours to cancel, you are welcome to change your session to video/phone appointment.
