Frequently Asked Questions

This answer depends on a number of factors such as your needs, preferences, presenting issues, commitment, and finances. The number of sessions will be discussed with you during the first session and your therapist will check in throughout the course of therapy to evaluate your goals, progress, and satisfaction. Together, you will decide on an appropriate termination date.

Our services are covered by most extended health care plans. However, we recommend that you contact your insurance provider to inquire about your coverage for a psychologist and for a psychotherapist working under the supervision of a registered psychologist. It is important to ask your provider how much per person per calendar year is available to you and whether there is a maximum coverage amount per session.

Fees range between $160 and $250 per therapy session. Fees for psychological assessments depend on the complexity of the case and will be discussed with you directly.
