I have several EAP and insurance contacts. I am an approved service provider with:

Please see Insurance tab for more information. I insist on 48 hour notice for appointment cancellations.
Fees
If you are paying “out of pocket” my fees for counselling and/or hypnosis are (depending upon contract):
50 minute session is $140
Couple and/or 1.5 hours is $185 (includes 10 minutes of note-taking)
I accept cash, cheque, and e-transact.
~ Initial assessments are 80 minutes ~ Most couple sessions are 80 minutes
All receipts are recognized as a medical appointment and are tax deductible.
My Social Work Association and College has been notified by the Canada Revenue Agency that as of September 26, 2012, Social Workers are approved for the medical expense tax credit. This means that Social Workers are now listed in the chart of "Medical Practitioner" and fees for counselling services can now be deducted by the public on income tax returns. This is an important achievement for the profession.
