Play Therapy

Mediation

$200 per hour

Payment

Fees for counselling services are payable at the end of each session.  Fees are covered by some Employee Assistance programs and health insurance policies and are also considered a tax deductible medical expense.

Your extended health insurance policy is a private contract between your company and yourself, not between your company and the counsellor. Therefore, reimbursement is the sole responsibility of the client and cannot be guaranteed as it largely depends upon what your insurance policy is willing to cover. It is the responsibility of our clients to check with their benefit providers prior to scheduling an appointment to ensure counselling reimbursements will be covered.

Questions to Ask a Benefit Provider

Do my benefits cover counselling/ mediation? Do my benefits cover registered counsellors and registered social workers with masters level education? Is there a maximum per session fee that will be reimbursed? What is the yearly maximum coverage available?
