Fees
FEES
Fees for therapy services are guided in part by the recommended fee schedule set out by the Psychologists' Association of Alberta, as well as credentials, training, qualifications, and experience:
Individuals
$250.00* /hour (based on a 50-minute^ session)
*Note: Fees are subject to change annually, effective January 1st.
PLEASE NOTE
The first session is normally 1.5 hours in length and the cost is $375. This is to accommodate time to go over important forms and paperwork.
Longer sessions are available and rates are adjusted accordingly.
^10 minutes at the end of each session "hour" is reserved for note writing in your file and other administrative tasks.
Documentation, letters, forms, reports or administrative tasks are billed in 15-minute increments at the above rate.
MORE INFORMATION ON PAYMENT
Payment is due in full at the end of the session.
Payment is accepted online via credit card or by Interac eTransfer (sent to eyassa@IMATTER2.com ).
I do not provide direct billing, however, you will be emailed a receipt upon payment that you may then submit for reimbursement from your healthcare coverage/ insurance provider.
Fees for psychological services may be claimed under tax deductible health care expenses on your income tax return. Check with your accountant.
CANCELLATION POLICY
If you must cancel, reschedule or shorten the length of an appointment please provide notice at least 48 hours through the online booking system, by phone or by email.
When you are unable to attend your scheduled appointment and don't provide notice, another client who may be in need of and eagerly waiting for an available spot doesn't get to benefit.
Unfortunately, because of this all no shows, cancellations, reschedules or session shortening made with less than 48 hours notice will be charged at the full rate.
