Fees & Payment

My fee for all types of psychotherapy and counselling is $170. per hour.   All court-related assessment work is at a rate of $250. per hour. Clients continue to pay the rate in effect when they begin working with me regardless of any future fee increases, even when returning to see me after an absence. Psychologist's fees are not covered by MSP (Medicare) but are completely or partially covered by most extended medical plans and are deductible as a medical expense on income taxes.  The fees are also often covered under Employee Assistance Programs or Criminal Injury Compensation programs.  I request payment by cheque or cash at the end of each appointment and I provide an official receipt with my Registration number, with which you can claim reimbursement or a medical expense. 

I ask that you cancel appointments with me as soon as you are aware that you need to.  If you cancel with 24 hours notice there is no fee.  If you phone to cancel with less than 24 hours notice, half of the regular fee will be charged.  If you do not phone to cancel I will assume that you are late for the appointment, wait for you throughout the appointment time, and the full fee will be charged.
