Our Service Rates for Individual Counselling with a Registered Clinical Counsellor whether you are looking for yourself or for you child or teen, ranges from $150 - $170 per clinical hour.
For couples counselling, family counselling or parent support counselling, require more skills and training so hourly rates are $160 - $180 per hour and typically are scheduled for 80 mins sessions.
Specialized services supporting dispute resolution processes, like Coparent Coaching, Family Mediation, Parenting Coordination, Court-Ordered Counselling and Court Reports, please contact the office directly for more information.
Counselling sessions are often covered by extended health benefit plans through workplace benefit coverage. We support First Nations Health counselling, Crime Victims Assistance counselling, and most other government-assisted counselling contracts.
Insurance plans differ significantly, so it is your responsibility to ensure that you will be reimbursed by your benefit plan before committing to incur the expense of counselling. Counsellors, typically, will not direct bill to your benefits provider. If your benefits do not extend to registered clinical counsellors, we may be able to arrange for you to work with a registered social worker.
Please note that Family Mediation and other related dispute resolution services are not considered psychological services even when facilitated by a mental health clinician. For further clarification about counselling designations, please see the FAQ section of the website.
