  • Individual therapy rate will increase from $210 to $225

This increase is in line with the recommended rate set by the Association of Psychologists of Nova Scotia (APNS), which came into effect on October 1st, 2024. More information can be found here.

We acknowledge the impact of the rising cost of services. We genuinely appreciate your trust in our dedication to your wellness.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and e-transfer.

Please note that counselling services are not covered by Nova Scotia provincial healthcare (MSI). If you have extended health care coverage, we recommend that you check with your provider to understand your policy.  Please note, at this time we are not able to direct-bill to private insurance companies. You will receive a receipt for reimbursement to submit to your insurance company. We do offer direct billing, with proper approval, to provincial or federal agencies.
