Psychology Service Fee
Fee for Affordable Therapy in Edmonton
At our practice, we aim to make high-quality therapy accessible while ensuring transparency about costs. Therapy fees are based on the credentials and experience of the provider, and each session lasts approximately 50 minutes. We also offer a sliding fee scale for eligible clients to accommodate those facing financial challenges.
Therapy Fee Breakdown
Our therapy fees vary depending on the qualifications of your chosen provider:
- Registered Psychologists and Provisional Psychologists: $220 or more per session
- Clinical Social Workers (Masters of Social Work): $190 per session
- Registered Social Workers and Canadian Certified Counsellors: $140 per session
- Masters Level or Student Therapists: $110 per session
We also offer non-session billable services, including:
- Consultation, advocacy, or follow-ups: Charged at 1/5 of the provider’s session fee per 10 minutes.
- Reports: Cost one hour’s fee plus 1/5 of the provider’s fee for every additional 10 minutes.
Appointment and Cancellation Policy
To reserve your appointment, we require at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations. Failure to cancel within this timeframe or failure to attend will result in being charged the full session fee. This policy ensures that our therapists can accommodate other clients and respect the value of their time.
Payment Methods
Accepted Payment Options:
- Credit cards (required during intake for securing the first appointment).
- E-transfers (to be sent 12–24 hours before the session).
- Cash or checks (checks incur a $5.00 service fee per charge, and returned checks have a $25.00 penalty).
Payment Timing: Payments are due at the time of your session. Clients must arrange alternative payment methods in advance if a credit card is unavailable.
Outstanding Accounts: Accounts overdue by more than 90 days may be placed in collections. Any associated charges will be the client’s responsibility.
Insurance and Tax Benefits
If you have private health insurance, all or part of your therapy fees may be reimbursed, depending on your coverage. Therapy expenses may also qualify as tax-deductible medical expenses on your income tax return. Additionally, we provide direct billing for some Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs).
Additional Services and Billable Time
Our fees include time spent during in-person, phone, or video sessions and:
- Report writing
- Communication with other agencies or individuals (upon client request)
Note: Communication related to appointment scheduling or administrative matters is not billable time.
