How to Access Affordable Counselling
A Simple, Respectful Process
Accessing a reduced-fee appointment is designed to be straightforward, confidential, and free from unnecessary barriers.
What to Expect:
Step One: Take time to review the sliding-scale ranges
Reduced-fee spots are available. Sliding-scale rates let you choose what works for you, no explanation needed.
Step Two: Share what you’re comfortable sharing
If cost is a barrier, you can request a sliding-scale rate with a brief form—no proof required.
Step Three: Move forward at your pace
If a sliding-scale spot is available, we’ll confirm your rate; if not, you can join the waitlist.
Insurance & Direct Billing
Using Your Extended Health Benefits
Many extended health benefit plans include coverage for counselling services provided by Canadian Certified Counsellors (CCC) or Registered Psychologist (Qualifying) for Ontario clients. Coverage varies by insurance provider and plan, so we recommend confirming your eligibility directly with your insurer before your appointment. For added convenience, direct billing is available with participating insurance providers whenever possible. If direct billing isn’t available through your plan, you will receive a detailed receipt after payment that you can submit for reimbursement.
