Additional Services and Costs
New Client Set Up Fee: A one-time $50 New Client Setup Fee is charged when you book your first full-length therapy session. This fee is not charged if you are only booking a free 15-minute meet-and-greet. The fee helps us provide a smooth and supportive start to your therapy experience.
This fee includes:
Personalized therapist matching, so you’re connected with someone who is a good fit for your needs, preferences, and goals.
Careful review of your intake information by a trained team member, so your therapist is prepared and informed before your first session.
Private and secure setup of your client profile, so your personal information and therapy records are stored safely and accessed easily when needed.
Help with organizing your billing details, including preparing receipts you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
Access to a private online client portal, where you can book or change appointments, message your therapist, and share documents securely.
Support with checking your insurance coverage and assistance setting up direct billing, if available through your provider.
An optional 20-minute onboarding call with our admin team to answer any questions, explain what to expect, and help you feel confident before your first session.
This fee is separate from your therapy session cost and is not eligible for insurance reimbursement.
If you have concerns about this fee or are facing financial difficulties, please let us know—we’re happy to discuss options with you.
Documentation: Starting at $25 per letter, up to $200 depending on the request.
Reports: Each report or summary is equivalent to your therapist’s session cost.
Collaborative Care Sessions: If you have a session with two clinicians at the same time—like your therapist and psychologist—you’ll be charged for both of their session fees. However, if you’re meeting with your therapist and a psychiatrist or doctor as part of collaborative care, you’ll only pay your therapist’s fee, since the psychiatrist or doctor is covered by OHIP.

Debit cards and VISA Debit Cards (In-Person or Online)

Covered by Most Insurance Plans
We understand the importance of making therapy accessible, which is why many of our services are covered by insurance plans. Our therapists include Registered Social Workers (RSWs), Master of Social Work (MSW) professionals, and Registered Psychotherapists (RPs), all of whom are qualified to help you navigate life's difficulties.
If you're unsure about your benefits, we encourage you to check with your insurance provider. Many plans cover therapy sessions with RSWs, MSWs, and RPs, ensuring you can focus on your mental health without financial stress.
