MY RATES

​​

60-minute individual therapy session is $180

​

90-minute individual therapy session is $230

Rates include HST.

 

My standard rate will increase to $220 ($260 for 90 minutes) when I have more training, practice and experience with the Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) modality that I'm in the beginning stages of specializing in.

​

FINANCIAL ACCESSIBILITY

​

Anti-oppressive, trauma-informed care practices include financial accessibility and accommodation. I therefore offer reduced rates on a sliding scale to folks who need it and as I am able to.

I have limited spots available at a reduced rate. I don't use a one-size-fits-all approach to pricing because everyone has different financial circumstances.

​

If you need financial accommodation, we will decide the rate together based on your current financial situation and what price points I have available at the time, and we re-evaluate the rate when financial circumstances change for you or me.

​

Therapy cannot work without trust. This extends into and includes the financial part of it. I trust my clients to use the honor system and pay the $180 therapy rate when you are able, and to ask for a reduced rate when you are not able.

A portion of the therapy rate you pay goes to 1) a Community Mental Health Fund to help the folks I work with access extra, needed mental health resources & supports; and 2) Direct Aid to individuals and frontline collectives rather than corporate non-profits and charities. Priority aid goes to Indigenous individuals and collectives in different parts of Turtle Island because we are occupying their land, and the remainder goes to other marginalized folks and collectives occupying Turtle Island.

​

Some of the things the Community Mental Health Fund has directly funded:

Art supplies

Food delivery

The Pleasure Course

PAYMENT & INSURANCE

​​

I require payment by e-transfer before the start of each session. I provide a receipt within 24 hours of service. If you have extended health insurance coverage, you can submit the receipt  as an insurance claim and your health plan provider will reimburse you directly.

​

Most extended health benefit plans cover psychotherapy services. Please contact your insurance provider to confirm that you are covered for services provided by Registered Psychotherapists.

​

Please also ask about how much you are covered for each year so you can budget your therapy as needed. Every coverage plan is different and the kind of coverage and amount of it that employers choose to offer their employees varies widely.

​

MORE ACCESSIBLE MENTAL HEALTH OPTIONS

​

I recognize that even with sliding scales and reduced rates, psychotherapy remains inaccessible for a lot of folks. I am working on offering more diverse, creative and sustainable ways to access some of the transformative tools and experiences that therapy provides. Please check back here or my Instagram for updates.

​

The more accessible, outside-the-therapy-room mental health offerings I'm working on is a project with many moving parts that will take some time to flesh out. I appreciate your patience and I'm excited to see where this endeavour will take us!
