Individual Counselling

Individual counselling sessions are charged at a rate of $160 per hour. As the final 10 minutes of any session is reserved for documentation and review, the actual contact time of any session will be 10 minutes less than the nominal length (i.e. 1 hour session = 50 minutes, 1.5 hour session = 80 minutes, etc.) If the time following your scheduled appointment is available, and you elect to extend your session into that time, billing will be based on the actual length of the appointment rounded up to the nearest quarter hour.

Counselling services are exempt from GST.

Group Counselling

Group counselling programs typically consist of 6 to 8 90-minute sessions and are charged at a rate of $90 per person per session ($60 per hour, $540 to $720 for the full program).

Some group programs include one or two sessions for parents or caregivers in which guidance is given for assisting the program participant in applying the content of the program in their home environment. These sessions are not a part of every group program - to see if a particular group program offers these additional sessions, click on the appropriate link under the 'Full Details' column of the current group program schedule.

Assessments

All assessments begin with a one hour consultation to verify your specific needs and to discuss the details of the assessment process. At the conclusion of this consultation, a firm total price and a proposed appointment and payment schedule for the assessment will be presented. If you choose to proceed with the assessment, the initial consultation is included in the assessment cost.

If you choose not to proceed with the assessment, or if you simply need some time to think about it, payment for the initial consultation is charged at our standard rate of $160 per hour and is due at the conclusion of that session. If you decide to proceed with the assessment within 30 days of the initial consultation, the total price quoted will remain valid and the amount paid for the initial consultation will be deducted from the remaining balance.

Assessments can vary greatly in cost depending on the scope of services required, but a "typical" assessment would be around $2000.
