PSYCHOLOGICAL TREATMENT

Rates

Fees are based on a 50-minute hour and depend on the nature of the psychological treatment service provided and the training and experience of the therapist.

Individual	$205 - $265
Relationship	$225 - $285

Psychological treatment services are a privately paid expense. The Ontario Health Insurance Plan (O.H.I.P.) does not pay for these services. Psychological services are a tax-deductible health expense that can be claimed as a medical expense on your personal income tax.

Payment

Payment for each session is due at the time of the session and can be made by cash, cheque, debit, or credit. A receipt will be provided for all payments.

Extended Health Plan

If you, or your partner, are employed, you may have an extended health care plan through an employer. Many of the health care plans pay all or a portion of the costs of seeing a psychologist, psychological associate, or an individual working under the supervision of a psychologist, with an annual maximum. We recommend that you look at your benefits to find out about your coverage.

In most cases, you pay for our services, are provided with a receipt, and then will be reimbursed by your insurance company.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellation of an appointment must be made at least 48 hours prior to that appointment. Since alternative bookings are unlikely at such short notice, our policy is to charge full regular fees for missed appointments and cancellations made with less than 48 hours notice.

Please note that you will be provided with a receipt that reflects a payment for a missed appointment. This will affect your ability to claim this fee through an extended health benefit provider.

You may leave a message at any time with our staff or on our confidential answering system at 905-836-4555 to notify us of your need to cancel or change an appointment.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

Rates

Fees are based on the specialized psychological assessment needed and reflect the time and attention required for a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the psychological issues.

Mental Health
Private (Summary Report)	$2,000
Private (Comprehensive Report)	$2,500
Third Party	Paid by 3rd Party
ADHD	$2,500
Psychoeducation	$3,750

Deposit and Payment Schedule

A $500 deposit is required to book an assessment. The remainder of the fee is split into different payment sections and is dependent on the type of assessment required. Please reach out to our office for further information about payment expectations and schedules.

Extended Health Plan

If you, your parent, or your partner, are employed, you may have an extended health care plan through an employer. Many of the health care plans pay all or a portion of the costs of a psychological assessment. We recommend that you look at your benefits to find out about your coverage.

In most cases, you pay for our services, are provided with receipts, and then will be reimbursed by your insurance company.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellation of an assessment appointment must be made at least 48 hours prior to that appointment. Since alternative bookings are unlikely at such short notice, our policy is to charge a non-refundable administrative fee of $250 for a missed assessment appointment and cancellations made with less than 48 hours notice.

You may leave a message at any time with our staff or on our confidential answering system at 905-836-4555 to notify us of your need to cancel or change an appointment.

THIRD PARTY FUNDING, REIMBURSEMENT, & CANCELLATION

Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB): If you have experienced an accident or other workplace stress or incident, you may qualify for a psychological assessment and treatment through the WSIB. Once an assessment and treatment are approved, fees are billed directly to WSIB.

Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC): If you are a veteran, you may be entitled to support through VAC. Once an assessment and treatment are approved, fees are billed directly to Blue Cross.

Cancellation of a WSIB or VAC appointment must be made at least 48 hours prior to that appointment to avoid charges to you. Third party providers will not pay for a missed appointment or cancellations made without sufficient notice; therefore, the fee is your responsibility. It is our policy to charge $60.00 for a missed treatment appointment and $250 for a missed assessment appointment.
