Fees

Counselling services are not covered by OHIP. However, many employment-related or extended health care benefit plans offer full or partial coverage for services. You may claim part of the fees you pay to a Registered Psychologist as a Health Expense Deduction on your income tax return. Payment is to be made at the end of each appointment. A receipt will be issued to you so that you may use it to claim an insurance reimbursement or as an income tax deduction. Payment can be made by cash, credit card or INTERACT e-Transfer. 

I do have a sliding fee scale, which means that if you are unable to afford the full rate, we can negotiate a rate within limits. This is typically based on your income and other variables.  The full hourly fee will be charged if you miss a scheduled appointment or cancel an appointment with less than 24-hours’ notice. This fee cannot be charged to insurance companies or billed to your employee benefits. There is no fee for telephone inquiries and the initial session.
