Unfortunately, counselling fees are not covered under the BC Medical Services Plan. Therefore, as aprivate clinic, clients are responsible for their fees.

However, many health benefits plans do include counselling coverage that reimburses you for visits toa Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). Thus, you may be able to receive full or partial coveragethrough one or more of the following providers: extended health benefits, private insurance, ICBC.  Please, contact your plan directly in order to determine your coverage.

Cancelling and Rescheduling Appointments

I understand that sometimes you need to change your schedule.

For Telehealth sessions, I kindly ask that you give me 24 hours cancellation notice if you must change or cancel an appointment to avoid cancellation fees. If notice is given within 24 hours, 50% of session fees will be charged.

For in-person sessions, I kindly ask that you give me 48 hours cancellation notice if you must change or cancel an appointment to avoid cancellation fees. If notice is given within 48 hours, 50% of session fees will be charged.

If no notice is given, the full session price will be charged. Such notification can be provided by telephone or e-mail for rescheduling or cancellation to avoid hourly cost.. ICBC does not cover cancellation costs
