Pricing
Many benefits and insurance providers can be billed directly for our counselling services. As part of our commitment to providing accessible healing to all, we keep our rates approximately 20% lower than the recommended rate posted by the Psychologists Association of Alberta. This allows your benefits to cover more sessions on average than many other therapy providers.
If cost is a barrier, we offer therapy on a sliding scale, which means the amount you pay aligns with your annual income and number of dependents. We will help calculate this during your initial consultation. Our unadjusted prices are:
- Registered Psychologists and Certified Counsellors: $150 – $180 an hour
- Registered Provisional Psychologist: $90- $180 an hour
- Intern Therapists: $0 – $90 an hour
You will be matched with the counsellor best suited to your needs.

Note: As a result of the increasing number of individuals needing counselling supports and the reduced capacity across the mental health landscape, we have implemented a 12-session limit for all our counselling services. We thank you for your continued support and patience as we work to address the increasing need for mental health support and access to services.
