Counselling & Life Coaching Fees

Social Worker Service Fee

Individual Counselling Session Fee: $180

Couple and Family Counselling Session Fee: $200

A large number of extended employer health benefit plans reimburse registered social worker fees.

Life Coach Service Fee

Individual Life Coaching Session Fee: $180

Couple and Family Life Coaching Session Fee: $200

Life coaching fees are not reimbursed under the extended employer health benefit plans.

The fee per session is based on the standard rates for seasoned therapists or life coaches in Toronto (GTA), which tends to range between $170 and $225 per session depending on the therapist's or life coach's education and experience. For those that have extremely limited incomes, university students or teenagers paying out of pocket, I offer a special fee arrangement.

Cancellation Fee

We require 2 working days notice for any changes to your appointment time. For late cancellations or missed appointments the regular fee of $180 - $200 will be applied. Thank you for your understanding.

ARE YOUR FEES COVERED BY OHIP?

While social workers and psychologists are regulated health professionals in Ontario, unfortunately they are not covered under OHIP. The majority of extended health benefits/employer benefits; however, do cover psychologist and social worker service (typically in your health and dental insurance package).

I encourage you to speak with your insurance provider about counselling services provided by a Registered Social Worker and Psychologist to determine your eligibility, approved rates of coverage and claim procedures (e.g., whether or not a letter or referral from your physician is required, details required on receipts, amount per person per calendar year etc.)

HOW DO YOU PROVIDE YOUR SERVICE?

• Service is provided in-Person, by-Telephone or Online.
• Payment by cash, cheque, credit card, e-transfer or online.
• Payment for service is due prior, at the beginning or end of every session.
• Receipt provided for your insurance or income tax claims.
• The regular fee will apply to appointments not cancelled 48 hours in advance.
• The average time to resolve a moderate counselling issue is 4-7 hours.
• Reports, letters, etc., will be charged at the regular fee.
