FAQ's about rates, insurance and payment
Rates
$150 + gst
Each session lasts 50 minutes, unless we make other arrangements.
Online and in-person.
Online Counselling
There is strong evidence that backs up the effectiveness of video therapy for most emotional issues. My therapeutic approach and the type of clients I see do very well with online counselling.
I can see clients from all of BC, AB and MB.
In-Person Counselling
If you feel more comfortable meeting in person I can see you at my office in Victoria BC (Westshore) where I go on Mondays.
Insurance Coverage
Many extended health benefit plans cover counselling. Here are a few tips to make sure you have enough coverage:
- Check your insurance plan documents or call your insurance provider to see if counselling therapy sessions by an RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor) or CCC (Canadian Certified Counsellor) are covered by your plan.
-Request information on the yearly maximum reimbursement and the coverage for each visit.
- If you do not have coverage, you can make a written request to your employer through the HR department, to have the insurance company adjust the plan to include Counsellors. If you need help with this, feel free to contact me.
Payment and
Cancellation Policy
I use Jane App and Noterro to manage payments via credit card on file (or in-person), unless you prefer to pay by e-transfer before each session.
I require a 24-hour notice to cancel or re-schedule an appointment, otherwise the full fee will be charged. This ensures the therapy space can be offered to someone on the waitlist. Letting me know as soon as you can is appreciated.
