policies & fees
Fees are set in accordance with the recommended fee range for social workers in private practice established by the Ontario Association of Social Workers http://www.oasw.org/. The clinical services provided by a social worker are HST exempt. Payments for sessions are due at the end of each session and can be paid by MasterCard, Visa, debit, cash, cheque or email money transfer. Receipts are issued upon payment. Requests for letters/reports will be charged at my usual hourly rate for completion.
Private social work counselling services are not covered by OHIP. However, there are extended health care companies who offer full or partial coverage for mental health services when provided by a Registered Social Worker. Clients are encouraged to contact their insurance providers in order to determine coverage prior to our first meeting. For those who qualify, I am an approved First Nation & Inuit Health Benefit Mental Health Counselling Service Provider and can accept NIHB and IRS clients.
If you are unable to make your session for any reason, please provide as much notice as possible. Missed sessions within 24 hours notice will be charged to the client.
