Affordable Counselling Supports
In order to help make counselling supports more accessible and affordable, my services are available at a rate that is lower than the recommended rates in Alberta. I am also able to provide a certain number of sliding scale appointments to those who might be in need. You are welcome to contact me to find out more.
Direct Billing Available
In-Person & Telehealth Counselling
Affordable Counselling Supports
To help offset the cost of counselling fees upfront, I am able to offer direct billing to a number of health insurance providers. It is recommended that you check your benefits plan before beginning counselling to see what coverage is provided under a registered psychologist. The insurance companies that I offer direct billing to are listed below.

fees
$200 for a 50 minute session
I am able to provide counselling, art therapy, and consultation services at $200 per 50 minute session. The last 10 minutes of the session are for me to complete documentation and planning for future sessions.
For those of you who may require a shorter or longer session, I am able to provide incremental billing for every ten minutes at one-fifth of the 50 minute session fee. This would be $40 per 10 minutes. This fee can be applied to services provided outside the therapy hour, such as consultations.
Free initial 20 minute consultation
I am able to provide a free 20 minute consultation before we begin therapy to answer any questions you might have about counselling supports, services I can provide, and to determine if I might be a good therapeutic fit for you or your child.
