Fees
​
​
Session fee: $190 (%13HST included)
​
Sliding Scale fee:
​
I maintain a certain number of clients on a sliding scale, which means that, when available, I can offer a reduced fee based on individual financial circumstances and availability. I prioritise students and new comers in providing services on a sliding scale.
​
Please inquire if you are in financial difficulty before confirming a consultation session.
​
Insurance Coverage:
​
Please note that psychotherapy services provided by private practitioners are not covered by OHIP. However, more and more employers began to include Registered Psychotherapists (who are members of the College of Registered Psychotherapist of Ontario) in their benefit packages. Please inquire directly with your insurance provider to confirm.
​
If Registered Psychotherapists are covered under your insurance benefits, the session fee will be payable at the time of the appointment and a receipt for will be issued to you to be submitted to your insurance provider once payment for the session has been received.
