Rates
Fees for counselling services follow the Recommended Fees Schedule of the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors:
- Individual therapy (50 – 60 minutes): $150 – $170
- Couples or Family therapy (50 – 60 minutes): $170 – $225
Our counsellors do not offer sliding scales at this time. 24 hours notice is required before cancelling or rescheduling an appointment. If less than 24 hours is provided, you can be charged for the full cost of the appointment. We accept all major credit cards including Visa and Mastercard Debit, but do not accept e-transfers.
Direct Billing and Insurance Coverage
Counselling is not covered by the BC provincial health plan but you might have partial or full coverage from your employer’s extended insurance plan for counselling by a “Registered Clinical Counsellor” (RCC), a “Certified Canadian Counsellor” (CCC), or a Registered Social Worker (RSW) of your choice. Check your plan to determine your coverage; we are not able to do that for you due to privacy limitations.
Direct Billing is available on some insurance plans, such as Canada Life, Desjardins, and GreenShield. Reach out to us to learn more.
NOTE: We are not able to provide direct billing or administrative support to claims covered by First Nations Health Authority, ICBC, Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP), Autism Funding or Sun Life Insurance.
