I have insurance coverage can I use it?
Yes, of course! And, I hope you do use it! I am a fully registered social worker in good standing withThe Alberta College of Social workers and have been since 2008. Once you make your payment in full you will receive a receipt to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. If your insurance accepts registered social workers or Master of Social Work, then you are good to go!
What are your session fees?
My fees are set at $235 per hour. my fee structure is in line with the current changes made my the governing bodies of social work and psychology. I m open to discussing a sliding scale should you need that to access the mental and emotional support you need, however it may impact your ability to utilize your insurance coverage.
What is the cancellation policy?
I require a minimum of 48 hours notice to cancel or reschedule appointments. With in the 48 hour time frame the full session fee will be charged. I understand that emergencies happens and I’m a human too, so under extenuating circumstances I may honour a no charge option. In the event that I have to cancel or reschedule I will do my best to let you know as soon as possible, however on occasion it may be last minute unintentionally. If I cancel the session, you will not be charged and I will make every effort to reschedule your appointment as quickly as I can.
What if I’m late?
If you are late for your session time, I will wait 1/4 to the amount of time of the session before ending the appointment, in which the full session fee will apply. I will reach out to you as best I can. If you arrive late to the appointment, your time will not be extended, it will will simply utilize the time available. If I am late to the appointment (which happens in the case of emergencies from time to time) I will honour your whole session time.
