FEES
Counselling and/or psychotherapy is not covered under OHIP. However, many insurance plans offer coverage as part of an employer's extended health benefits. With your extended health benefit plan, much, if not all of the session fee will be reimbursable to you. If you have coverage for a master of social work (M.S.W.) or a registered psychotherapist (RP) than our sessions should be covered.
Fees are due at the end of each session. Fees are payable by cash or cheque. Receipts are issued so that you may submit to your insurance carrier for reimbursement, if applicable. Any unreimbursed fees can be used as a medical deduction when filing your personal income tax return.
I offer a limited sliding fee scale. While a sliding fee reduces your per session cost, it is not able to reduce all financial barriers to accessing professional counselling services. Sliding fee scale is limited to those without any extended health benefits and limited by space availability, time of day, and frequency of use limitations.
For more substantial reduction in the cost of professional therapy, please consider use of Family Service Thames Valley as they receive United Way funding to be able to offset the costs of subsidized counselling sessions.
