SESSION FEES FOR ONLINE COUNSELLING
As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (#18693), all session fees are set in accordance with recommendations by the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC).
FEES
Under certain circumstances, sessions longer than 50 minutes may be preferable, particularly for relationship counselling. For this reason, I offer 80 minute sessions at prorated rates.
Free 20 Minute Consultation
A free, no pressure chance to chat before you book your first session. This is an opportunity for me to learn a little about what you are looking for and for you to get a sense of whether I am a good fit for you. If you prefer, you are always welcome to book your first session without doing a consultation first.
Individual Counselling
50 minute session
$170
80 minute session $265
Relationship/
Couples Counselling
50 minute session
$190
80 minute session $295 *Recommended length for relationship therapy
As part of the assessment process, I will meet with you and your partner(s) individually after our initial session together. Please note that these sessions are not considered individual therapy and are charged the relationship counselling rate. Both individual and group assessment sessions are booked for 80 minutes.
PAYMENT AND INSURANCE
Payment can be made by any major credit card or e-transfer. All payment for counselling services are due at the time of the session. A full receipt will be emailed to you within 24 hours of payment.
Insurance: Many health benefit plans will reimburse you for counselling services. Contact your plan provider before your first session to ensure that your plan covers the Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) designation. Please note that I do not bill insurance companies directly, but will provide you with an official receipt at the end of each appointment that you can use to request reimbursement.​​
Reduced Rate Counselling: I offer sliding scale, reduced rate counselling to a limited number of clients. If you find yourself in need of a reduced rate, please email me at connect@kootenaysextherapy.ca to discuss this possibility.
​
Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP): I am an approved provider for the CVAP program. Please reach out if you would like to know more about how this program works.
