A late cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in the therapists' day that could have been filled by another client.
As such, we require 48 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Patients who provide less than 48 hours notice will be charged a fee of $50. If there is less than 24 hours notice, or the appointment is missed entirely, the full fee will likely be charged.

Insurance + Coverage
Many extended health plans, such as Pacific Blue Cross and Great West Life reimburse clients for the costs of counselling provided by a Registered Clinical Counsellor. It is strongly recommended that you call your plan provider to ensure coverage and any annual dollar limits, as it is common that the print material provided to plan members is often incomplete and/or can be unclear. If you need help navigating this process, please let us know and we would be more than willing to assist you.
Below are some suggestions on what to ask your provider when you inquire about your coverage:
Do my health benefits cover the cost of seeing a Registered Clinical Counsellor?
What are my mental health benefits?
What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
How many therapy sessions does my plan cover per year?
Is approval or referral required from my primary care physician/doctor?
