SLIDING SCALE FEE
Available for those in financial need and who want to engage in consistent therapy work. The first session is normally charged at full fee; if we are a good fit, a sliding scale fee can be negotiated for following sessions.
DIRECT BILLING
I direct bill through the following services/organizations: First Nations Health Authority (FNHA), Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC), Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP), and Workplace Options (an EAP company). I can also direct bill through Telus Health.
EXTENDED HEALTH
Some Extended Health Benefit plans such as Pacific Blue Cross, Sun Life, Green Shield Canada, and Great-West Life cover counselling services provided by a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). If you have such a plan through work, check with your provider to find out if your plan covers counselling and psychotherapy with a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). If it does, you would submit the fee to me directly, and I provide you the receipts so you can get reimbursed.
BCACC FEE GUIDE
My counselling fee is in line with BC Association for Clinical Counsellors (BCACC)’s fee guide. I have supported hundreds of clients for the last 18 years — 16+ years as an RCC (clinical counsellor and psychotherapist) in BC, and 2+ years of practical experience in San Francisco, while training at California Institute of Integral Studies’ Golden Gate Integral Counselling Centre, and later while employed as a Behavioural Health Counselor at PAES Counselling & Pre-Vocational Services, part of RAMS Inc. (a welfare-to-work program).
