Fees
|
Hourly rate
My fees are in line with the recommendations provided by the Ontario Psychological Association (2015). A therapy session is 50 minutes long, and the balance of the hour is used for therapy notes. The fee for a psychological assessment or consultation vary depending on the number of hours involved in the process. |
Cancellation Policy
Missed sessions or late cancellations (i.e., where at least 48 hours advance notice has not been given) will be charged the full amount for the session. In case of late arrival, the balance of the time available for the session will be used. However, the session will be charged in full. |
Payment
Payments can be made as cash, personal cheques or e-transfers. A receipt is provided so that you may claim reimbursement directly from your insurance company and to make income tax return claims (under medical expenses). |
Financial coverage or fundinG
Services provided by psychologists are not covered by OHIP. However, psychological services may be covered fully or partially by your health insurance or employee benefit extended health care plan. In these cases, you are encouraged to check with your insurance company for conditions before engaging in therapy or making a claim.
