Fees
Sessions generally last 50 minutes and range from $190-225 per session. 1.5 hour sessions can be booked upon special request at a rate of $300. Payment is due on the day of session and can be made by e-transfer.
At this time, all pro bono sessions are filled.
Insurance
Psychotherapy services are not covered by OHIP, but may be covered under third-party insurance plans. I am an approved provider through Medavie Blue Cross for both Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) and Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). Direct billing is available for these plans with pre-authorization completed prior to your first appointment. For other insurance providers, direct billing is not available. Clients are responsible for paying session fees and submitting receipts to their insurance provider for reimbursement.
To avoid surprises, I recommend confirming the following details with your insurance provider before booking:
Coverage for services provided by a Registered Psychotherapist
Per-session reimbursement limits
Annual coverage limits
Whether a prescription or referral from your primary healthcare provider is required
Cancellations and Late Arrival
There is no fee for sessions cancelled with at least 48 hours notice. However, for sessions cancelled less than 24 hours in advance, the full cost of the session may be charged.
If you are running late for your scheduled appointment, please notify me as soon as possible. Appointments may need to be rescheduled if you are more than 15 minutes late, as the remaining time may not allow for a meaningful session. If you arrive within 15 minutes of your appointment time, the session will proceed with the remaining time, and the full session fee will apply.
This policy ensures that adequate time is reserved for each client while respecting the time of others.
