Fees
My fees for each hour of Counselling Service are currently $150 as recommended by the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). Counselling services are GST exempt.
I work on the “50-minute hour”, meaning that I meet with clients for 50 minutes and 10 minutes are reserved for preparation and session note taking.
I have a 48-hour cancellation policy. I charge full fees for cancellations or appointments missed with less than 24 hours notice, and I charge 50% fees for cancellations with 48-25 hours notice.
Extended Health Benefit Plans may provide some reimbursement for fees paid for Counselling Services. Check with your provider as plans vary on their coverage.
Some extended health plans may offer 100% coverage and unlimited visits. Other health plans may work similar to a bank account, where you can “spend” up to a certain dollar amount. Only your specific plan provider can give you the details about your coverage.
Direct Billing: I offer direct billing.
Most common plans are:
Medavie Blue Cross
Manulife Financial
Simply Benefits
Johnson Group
If you don’t see your insurance company on the list please ask as they may be part of one of the above groups.
I am accepting CVAP, ICBC, FNHA clients (direct billing).
