Counselling Session Rates

My fees will always be consistent with the rates recommended by the BC Psychological Association. The current recommended fee for a 50-minute counselling session is $245.00.

Psychologists are not currently covered by BC Medical, but all or a portion of the fee may be covered by your employer’s extended health benefits. Some people may also have coverage through BC Criminal Injuries, WorkSafe, ICBC, or other related programs. I can direct for most Blue Cross and other insurance companies.

I can direct bill for RCMP, military, VAC and most police and fire departments.

If direct billing is not an option then payment options include cash, cheque, or e-transfer. I am not able to accept VISA or debit cards. I will issue you a receipt right away, and hopefully some or all of the fee can be claimed back through your extended insurance or on your income taxes at the end of the year.

If you wish to pursue a course of counselling or psychotherapy and the only thing in the way is money, a sliding scale may be negotiated in certain situations.

I use Jane App as a practice management program. Before your first session I will e-mail you a link through Jane to complete my Informed Consent Form on-line. Please complete this to save us time when we first meet. Jane will also let you book, cancel or change sessions as needed.
