Paying for care

Coverage and billing

Extended health care plans are very individualized, but most provide some amount of coverage for Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCCs). Check your plan to determine the amount covered per session and in total for your family, for registered clinical counselling services.

I can direct-bill the Autism Funding Unit for eligible clients.

Accepted payment methods: payments are made through the Jane app via credit card.

A receipt is provided via Jane after each session once payment is received.

Policies

Cancellation

Clients are welcome to cancel appointments through the Jane app up to 24 hours before the appointment. Cancellations within 24 hours of the appointment, and no-shows, are still subject to a 50% fee. I may be unable to continue seeing clients after two no-shows, and I am happy to refer to other practitioners if necessary.

If illness or transportation is a barrier, I am happy to move an in-person session online.

Questions

About fees

Is the first call really free?+

Yes. The 15-minute consultation is free and carries no obligation. It is a chance to ask questions and see whether we are a good fit.

Do I need a doctor's referral to claim?+

I don't require one, but some extended health plans do for reimbursement. Check with your provider before booking.

Is online counselling the same price as in-person counselling?+

Yes. Virtual and in-person sessions are the same fee.

What if my child needs support between sessions?+

While I can only provide therapy during booked sessions, I can often offer emergency sessions for existing clients within a reasonable time period. Please email me directly if your child needs extra support between sessions, to explore my availability to book.

You don't have to figure this out alone. Let's find a way forward for your child, together.
