Payment & Billing Options

I can accept the following payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, Visa-Debit, Debit-Mastercard, E-Transfer & Cash.

Depending on your individual health benefit plan and provider, coverage may be available for psychological services and counselling. This coverage, and direct billing eligibility, is determined by your insurance provider. While I can direct bill to some providers, there may be times where you will have to pay for services up front at the clinic, and provide a receipt to your provider for reimbursement. Receipts are emailed immediately after payment, and are available for all appointments with the clinic upon request.

​

When you book with the clinic online, you will be prompted to enter a credit card to put on file. Many clients choose this option because it is convenient, and it can allow outstanding appointment balances to be paid easily. This also provides a convenient method for payment of direct billing differences, though if you prefer to pay with a different method that can also be arranged. You can manage your credit card and payment options through your client account, or by choosing to pay with a different method at the time of your appointment. Payment is not applied until the time of the appointment.​

​

Therapy can sometimes feel inaccessible, and this is a barrier for some when it comes to accessing the services they need. In some circumstances, we can discuss payment options and whether a sliding scale fee is right for you.

Cancellation & No-Show Policy

Appointments cancelled with more than 24 hours notice can be cancelled or rescheduled for no charge.

​

Appointments that are missed, or cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, may be subject to billing at the full session rate.

Please provide at least 24 hours notice for any appointments you need to cancel or reschedule.

​

When you book an appointment with me, that appointment slot is set aside as yours. I understand that plans can change due to circumstances beyond our control, because life happens outside of the therapy room!

 

In the event that you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, I will make every attempt possible to accommodate your appointment changes, if you provide at least 24hrs notice. This way we can discuss cancellation or rescheduling options that suit you to avoid a no-show or late cancellation fee. We can also switch to a virtual session with enough heads-up if need be.
