Fees
9Fees for Psychotherapy are based on guidelines for service in Toronto and depending on education level and experience of the therapist. The Clinic Director is a a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Psychotherapy of Ontario with 5 years of additional training at the doctoral level and specific training in supervision and teaching of Masters' level therapists. The other team members are seasoned professionals with significant training but less years in the practice of therapy, and are able to offer lower rates. Clients are asked to verify with their own insurance plans to see if the services of a Registered Psychotherapist are covered prior to making an appointment. Every plan is different and clients can not be reimbursed for fees paid due to insurance not acceptance of receipts.

Consultation: Short phone consults are free to help determine suitability.
Assessment: We are able to provide objective tests related to personality, career interests and values, symptoms of distress and functioning, etc. These are non-diagnostic measures but valid and reliable, based on science. The measures we use require a level of education and licence for interpretation and are not simply tests you see online. The cost depends on the measure used and range from free (symptom checklists for ongoing clients) up to 250 for comprehensive or multiple measures. Fees can be discussed with your practitioner and are often covered by insurance if you have extended health benefits.
Presentations and Seminars: Please inquire.
