Fees & Policies
Phone Consultation
I provide a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. During this time, we can discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, address any questions you may have, and determine if we are a good fit together.
Session Length & Fees
Session Length: I offer semi-weekly, weekly or bi-weekly sessions. Each therapy session is 50 minutes in length.
Fee Information: My fee is $200 per session.
Sliding Scale Availability: I offer a limited number of sliding scale spaces.
HST Exemption: Please note that all social workers in Ontario are exempt from the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) for mental health services. This means you will not be charged HST on top of your therapy fees.
Payment: Payments for sessions can be made via Interac e-mail transfer. I provide receipts for all payments.
Cancellation Policy
To ensure a smooth scheduling process and to accommodate all clients, I kindly request a minimum of 48 hours notice for appointment cancellations or rescheduling. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours notice will incur the full session fee.
Insurance Coverage
Many insurance companies provide coverage for counselling and psychotherapy provided by a Registered Social Worker (RSW) holding a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree.
Counselling services provided by an MSW, RSW can be claimed as a medical expense tax deduction when you file your income tax return. For more information on eligible medical expenses click here.
