Fees & Billing

PAYMENT

Many benefits plans may cover counselling services. Contact your extended health benefits provider to confirm that counselling services provided by a Registered Clinical Counsellor are covered.

Payment can be made by Debit, Credit Card, or e-transfers. Payment is due at the beginning of each session.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Notice of 48 hours is required to cancel an appointment, or the client will be charged.

CRIME VICTIM ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (CVAP)

If you have experienced a crime or a sexual assault, you can apply to the  BC Crime Victim Assistance Program  (CVAP) for assistance and get $80 covered per session. CVAP helps victims and immediate family members deal with the negative effects of violent crime. CVAP does not cover the regular session fee. My clients are required to pay the fee at the beginning of the session, and then I give them an invoice to submit to CVAP.
