Fees & Policies
Confidentiality
Counseling sessions are confidential, though it's important to note that virtual services carry certain risks to confidentiality. The client is responsible for ensuring they are in a private, quiet space during our sessions. I use the Zoom platform, but it’s important to understand that I cannot fully guarantee confidentiality in the digital space.
Confidentiality may be compromised if I have concerns about the client's safety, the safety of others, or if I suspect child abuse. In such cases, I will do my best to be transparent with the client before involving any third parties.
Insurance
As a Registered Social Worker my services may be covered under your extended health plan. Please check with your provider directly to determine if you are eligible to submit your receipts for reimbursement. The client will be responsible for reimbursement through their provider. I do not provide any direct billing.
Missed Appointments
Fees will be payable for any cancelled or missed appointments within 48 hours of booking time.
Fees
My fees are in alignment with the recommended fee schedule as per the BCCSW. They range from $150 - $200/ 50 minutes session for individuals or families. As an RSW, I do not charge GST. Please speak with me directly about my sliding scale option.
Payments can be made by e-transfer. A receipt will be provided following payment.
