Good Call Counselling offers a negotiable fee schedule for services.
My practice’s current standard fee for services is $100.00 CAD per 60min session and my psychotherapy services are GST/HST exempt. For those who qualify, reduced fees are available.
You may be covered for mental health therapy services through your benefits plan; it is always best to check-in with your insurance provider and ask if you are covered to receive psychotherapy services from a Master of Social Work, Registered Social Worker.
Prior to beginning services, we will negotiate and mutually agreed-upon a fee for services, based on the criteria outlined below. Consider the three clusters of statements below and how they relate to your current lived experience. The overall cluster that you identify with the most will help us to properly determine your fee for services:
