1)What is the difference between a 15-minute consultation and an intake appointment?
An Intake appointment on the other hand is a 60-minute appointment where we will take a deeper look at goals for therapy, assess possible symptoms or concerns you are facing, get a detailed history and discuss a treatment approach for future sessions. Upon booking this appointment, you will be emailed an intake package consisting of forms to help us get acquainted.
2) How much does a session cost?
The cost for each session will be $220/per hour. If you request a longer session, fees will be adjusted accordingly.
Sliding scale options can be discussed during the 15-minute or intake appointment. Sliding scale rates are not guaranteed and are determined on a case by case basis.
3) Will I be charged for a missed appointment?
If you need to cancel your appointment, I appreciate a call or an email 24 hours in advance, so that I can offer another individual the appointment. No-shows and late cancelations will be charged the regular hourly fee.
If you are running late, please reach out to me via phone or email. I will wait 15-minutes past the appointment time before reaching out to you.
If its an emergency and you need to cancel or change your appointment please reach out to me via phone or email.
4) Will my sessions be covered by my insurance?
Psychological Services are covered by extended health coverage plans and can be claimed through income tax. Please check with your insurance company before booking an appointment.
I offer direct billing to most insurance companies such as Alberta Blue Cross, Green Shield, ManuLife, Canada Life, as well as SunLife. Please inform me about your insurance coverage at intake.
